The Baltimore Orioles were going for a sweep against the New York Yankees on Wednesday night but they were unable to come away with the win as they lost 4-1.  Any Orioles fan should be happy with the series however as the Orioles played some pretty good baseball.

Jeremy Guthrie took the loss for the O’s and is now 2-6 on the season.  He lasted seven innings and gave up six hits and three runs in the game.  Jamie Walker gave up one run in the ninth innig as well as he pitched out of the bullpen.

The two runs for the Orioles came off the bat of Melvin Mora who hit a two run home run in the third inning.  Other then that, the Orioles bat weren’t very good as they left 14 runners on base.

Jim Johnson gave up two hits and the game winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning as the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 on Thursday night.  Johnson gave up the game winning hit to Robinson Cano who scored Hideki Matsui who singled to lead off the inning.

Johnson is now 0-2 on the season with a 1.44 era.  Just a bad outing by Johnson.  Starting pitcher Brian Burres pitched 7 2/3 innings in the game got the no decision.  Burres gave up  six hits and only one run in the game.  He deserved a much better outcome had the Orioles actually put some runs on the scoreboard.

The only Orioles run came in the third inning when Freddie Bynum tripled and Adam Jones scored.  Besides that triple, the Orioles only had four other hits in the game as they struggled against the Yankees pitchers.

I was notified this morning that the guys over at Gotham Sports Radio interviews Orioles great Brook Robinson and so here I am passing the information onto you.  I think every Orioles fan will be intersted in the interview as it is pretty interesting to hear what is on Robinson’s mind.

Listed to the interview here and then come back and let us know what you thought of the interview.

The Baltimore Orioles lost to the Oakland Athletics on a walk off home run in the tenth inning on Wednesday afternoon.  Mark Ellis took Lance Cormier deep for the game winning home run off of the left field foul pole.  Cormier is now 0-1 on the season.

It was really too bad the Orioles lost the game after they came back to make it a game in the eighth inning as they scored three runs.  Brian Roberts came off the bench to provide two RBI, Melvin Mora, Kevin Millar, and Ramon Hernandez all had one RBI in the game as well.

Starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie got roughed up as he allowed five hits and four runs in only 5 2/3 innings.  Chad Bradford also gave up a run in the eighth inning that tied the game up.

The Orioles continue to be in games but are not doing the little things and that is what is causing them to lose these close games.  Not turning double plays and getting picked off bases are stupid mistakes that shouldn’t be happening.   We will see if the Orioles can turn it around as they head to Kansas City for their next series.
