Today is the day we break the streak. I proclaim it so.
This is despite the fact that the O's are facing Justin Duchscherer, who lifetime is 2-0 with a 2.78 ERA against the Birds, and who won against Seattle last week. On the plus side, he gave up 5 runs in 5.2 IP against the M's on April 7.
I could write more about about our chances, but really, what is there to say? Should I be talking up Lou Montanez? ahahahahahahahahahahah. If you want more analysis, here's the TSN preview.
As has been posted in many places, this game is not televised. However, I have now seen three different places, including the Orioles' website, which state it will be carried on MLB.tv. Either way, it will certainlly be on the radio and Gameday Audio.
Mark my words. We get off the schneid today.
