    If only that was Felix Pie running and not Robert Andino, the Orioles would've won the game.

    Nearly the entire Orioles fan forum is complaining about the call, but he was clearly out. Sucks, but it happens.

      3 @ Zona, then playing host to the M.E.T.S.

      Philly on a 5-gm winning streak, and sitting w/ the best record in baseball @ 15-6.

        Phillies also sitting at 3rd to last in pitches seen per plate appearance, and haven't scored more than 4 runs since April 19th when they crushed the Braves 10-2

          Ya, on the Pads broadcast Saturday night they showed how after the Phils started out hitting .364 they are hitting a .190 since. It goes in ebbs and flows, but I don't think there is any doubt this team misses Utley and the old Rollins.

            Brewers have a huge 3-game series at home against the Reds, then it's off to Houston to play the Astros yet again.

              Howard has not homered since April 12th.

              Now would be a good time to see Dominic Brown. Too bad he's still out for another couple of weeks or so.

              I know his Spring performance was not too good, but at least he'd be a better defensive option than Ibanez. Raul has been just plain horrible this year.

                Well tonight starts either the road trip from hell or the key to the Jays having a pretty good season.

                We'll see but I don't like their chances against Texas.

                    The pitching doesn't worry me too much it's the complete lack of offense. Jose Bautista is literally carrying the team on his back. At least Edwin Encarnacion is also hitting well and he's coming back tonight so that's something to look forward to.

                      When I saw Adam Lind's career numbers vs James Shields I was salivating. Then he goes 0-4....

                      Who is replacing Hill at 2B?

                        At the moment it looks like Mike McCoy and John McDonald will be sharing 2B duties.

                          A series win for the Twins finally. Time to build on that.

                          3 vs. Rays
                          3 @ Royals.

                          Need 4 wins out of that. The Kube Cred just keeps raking, and Morneau looks like he's fully fit after the illness he had last week. Also, if Scott Baker can keep up what he's done in his last two starts, that would be great...

                            I know he's had injury concerns, but Aaron Hill's 2009 season is starting to look more and more like a fluke. His K/BB ratio didn't project for continued success, but his power has just disappeared.

                              Yeah, there's open talk about it being a complete fluke. The Jays were pretty smart chopping off the option years from his contract as there's talk that the Jays will let him go after this year and look for a better option.

                              In a way it's pretty disappointing as i've always liked Hill. It just seems he doesn't have the legs for the game and the lower body is a big part of a swing. His hamstring issues the last couple years have really hampered any kind of improvement for him.
