So I went to bed hoping to awaken to news of a Cliff Lee to the Orioles trade. Mine hopes were dashed. Now I just want to go back to bed. With no O's game yesterday the news cycle is a bit light. But I have faith that you will find something worth right-hand margin arguing over. It is our one collective great skill. In around the league news, the Rays beat the Sox to reclaim possession of 1st place in the AL East. Home Plate ump Jerry Meals blew a call on a play that would have tied the game in the 8th inning. Some may recall that it was almost two years ago to the day that Mr. Meals was involved in a blown call at the plate in extra innings in a Pirates vs. Braves game. In that instance he erroneously called a Braves runner safe at home, awarding them a walk off victory in the 19th inning. Because correlation always equals causation, the Pirates went into a long funk, going 19-41 the remainder of the season. We, as O's fans, could be so fortunate as to have a similar fate befall either the Rays or Sox this season after Meals' most recent blunder...
