Tigers 3, Defense 1

All you need to know about this game relates to the Golden Glove graphic displayed on the TV screen before the sixth inning. The Orioles have won 58 Gold Gloves in their history. Only the Cardinals have won more with 78. Jared Wright looked good until the 6th. A Curtis Granderson comebacker nearly knocked him over and the carom was picked up late by Mora. Wright walked the next batter and left the game with an injury. I had just sat down to watch the game after returing home from my three-year old daughter's kickball practice. Her opening day is Saturday. She managed to field three balls kicked her way, after some coaching. Scott Williamson neglected to field a sac bunt and the bases were loaded. "That's not how you practice that in Spring training," Palmer said. Williamson struck out Sheffied in dramatic fashion. Pena grounded into a tailor-made twin-killing--the signature play of the Orioles in the seventies. Not tonight. Roberts threw wildly to first and two runs scored. Ballgame. Comebackers have been the precursor to two losses this year. Fatherhood, my friend, is all one needs to be remembered for.
