Oriole Alchemy
The Orioles defeated the Red Sox last night 6-4 in 13 innings. They'd just finished beating the Yankees 2 out of 3 in New York.
With 25 games in the books, they have a 17-9 record.
Over the last 14 seasons, there have been few instances of optimism--but this year feels different.
They overcame errors early in the game and deficits to knot the score at 4 in the 7th. It was the bullpen that outlasted the Red Sox for seven scoreless innings. In previous seasons, the bullpen demoralized the team with ugly losses in the first two months of the year.
The 2012 Orioles resemble the teams of the 70s--not many superstars--but a potent mixture of players and scrap metal that work well together.
