Doubront is not doing the Yankees any favors as the Sox have given up three runs though Loney just singled in Ross to get one back in the fourth. AP will get the start in the first game of double-header Wednesday. Comment away.

The Orioles are F-ing ridiculous right now. If they win this absurd marathon in Seattle it will simply beef up even more their ridiculous extra-innings record.
After the O’s hit two line-drive outs with the go-ahead run at 3rd to end the to of the 17th, the Mariners get a leadoff double to put the winning run at 2nd. Then Jesus Montero pops out to foul territory. The Mariners have stranded so many RISP in the extra innings with no luck…1 out now…
Strikeout. Ridiculous. Chone Figgins up. Orioles are 13-2 in extra inning games – after starting the season 0-2 in those games.
Grounds out to the pitcher. Leadoff double turns into nothing. On to the 18th.
leadoff walk. Then instead of sac bunting McLouth over, like the Mariners have done countless times (failing more often than not), the O’s put the hit and run on, singling to make it 1st and 3rd with no outs. The Mariners are about to lose this game after winning 2-0 in the 9th and then threatening to win again and again and again in the 10th through the 17th innings. Now the O’s get a single to take the lead and put men on 1st and 2nd. I’m out. I am starting to think this team is simply destined to win the AL East.
“…I am starting to think this team is simply destined to win the AL East…”
yep…still don’t believe in luck or destiny for that matter, but sometimes teams put together runs that defy logic
Yeah dc…14 straight wins in extra-inning games?!?!?! What the hell?? Really?!?!? I don’t have time to look it up now, but has any team ever done that??
The O’s have to go from that marathon to confronting King Felix today (so perhaps the game post today should be “Help us Felix Part II”). If they win that too I give up.
