THIS LOSS STINGS BUT WE TURN THE PAGE

Some games are just a knock-out, drag-out battle and neither team is really advancing. Then, on a silly pitch or error or misplay, or even home run... it ends and you are either on top, or you lose. It's that cut and dry.  Tonight it ended in a home run off Nate McLouth's bat in the bottom of the 10th and then... game over, the Yankee lose. Hey, that's baseball. Rub some dirt on it and come back tomorrow.

The game was tied 2-2 almost the entire game. Travis Hafner knocked in Brett Gardner in the first inning and later on Chris Dickerson solo homered for the Orioles. Then Travis Hafner came back in the 4th and knocked in Vernon Wells. 

The O's struck back with Chris Dickerson's second solo homer in the 5th inning.  Then the tug-o-war continued until the 10th, when Vidal Nuno came in and allowed McLouth to launch one.

That's it.  Not much more to say except that I applaud Dickerson for hitting so well tonight, but hey, the Yankee bats were quiet tonight. Forget this one ladies and gentlemen... turn the page.

Final: Orioles 3 - Yankees 2.
