A Season in a Game

The Orioles entire season was pretty much summed up in tonight's game. Steve Trachsel pitched well, allowing one run over six innings and leaving the game with a 4-1 lead. But the bullpen gives up two in the eighth and one in the ninth to wipe out Trachsel's decision and force the game into extra innings. The Devil Rays score a single run in the twelfth to take the lead, but the Orioles get a lead off single in the bottom of the inning. A sacrifice and walk later, the Orioles have the winning run on base, but two pop outs end the game. A frustrating season encapsulated in a frustrating game.

The Devil Rays go to 53-80, which gives them a very good chance of finishing the season with less than 100 losses.

Sad but true. MacPhail has his work cut out for him.
