Me of Little Faith

Last night I went to bed with the Orioles trailing 5-3 in the eighth and facing Sox closer Bobby Jenks. That's right I gave up on them. I didn't think they had a chance. They came back and won it, proving me wrong. These birds are showing early signs of resilience in 2008. Nick Markakis tied the game with a two-run homer and the Sox immediately took the lead back like they were toying with the Orioles. I was trying to minimize the disappointment by turning in. I didn't want to see the White Sox win--they have trounced the Orioles with regularity since we beat them in 1983. I went to bed. That's what 10 years of losing seasons will do to a fan--once.
