Whether Ubaldo Jiménez pitches again after the Orioles leave town Sunday is immaterial to the notion that his start Friday was as fitting an end to his time on a mound in Baltimore as it was disappointing.
The man who, through it all, has posted whenever the Orioles asked did one last time at Camden Yards and walked off the mound after three innings with six runs in on eight hits. Only a wide turn around second base on an RBI single in the third inning that turned into a gift third out allowed him to head to the dugout with his teammates and not face the judgment of the local fans on his own one last time.
