A 2:26 rain delay and a close game that was in the hands of a great Orioles bullpen didn't leave me much to be optimistic about last night. Couple all of that with the fact that my eyelids were heavy, and you get this blogger going to sleep in the 7th inning. When I woke up this morning I saw that everything that had to happen for the Yankees to win last night happened:* CC Sabathia pitched like an ace.* Mark Teixeira went 2-4 with an RBI* Nick Swisher went 1-2 with an RBI* Team RISP-- 3-8Alex Rodriguez? Not so much. He went 0-4 with 3 strikeouts, but he did walk and score a run. I actually didn't think his at-bats were that bad. He did lay off some tough pitches. Hopefully he can build on that. It looked for a while that Robinson Cano and Russell Martin would have 0-fers as well, until they came through against Jim Johnson.Speaking of Jim Johnson, he is probably thinking about Mariano Rivera this morning and marveling. Johnson pitched last night as if he never got any of h...

When people say the O's aren't carrying a lot of experience into their American League Division Series against the Yankees, they usually mean the young players.

Orioles, Yankees rekindle playoff memories of 1996
Orioles rookie third baseman Manny Machado was a 4-year-old when Baltimore and the New York Yankees last met in the postseason.
The year was 1996, a lifetime ago for Orioles fans and a rather meaningless event in the development of Machado, who grew up to become a No. 1 draft pick and a key player in Baltimore's improbable, magnificent 2012 season.
Sixteen years after the Yankees...
