I posted this as a comment yesterday in response to Heather Irvin's thread on Oriole Magic, but I know better than to think the Orioles will contend in '08, much less will finish better than .500; however, what are seeing with Baltimore is...

Tough loss? Yeah, you could say that.
I’ll let Tobin fill you in on the details, but let’s just say Baltimore blew a 7-0 lead Friday night at Fenway. Brad Penny stunk for Boston. And the Orioles’ Jeremy Guthrie stunk right back. First baseman Aubrey Huff choked on a ground ball that cost his team three runs late in the game.
