Sunday Bird Droppings: Still bummed about the John Means injury

Hello, friends.

The Orioles were able to pull a rabbit out of their hat to take down the Yankees on Friday night, but they could not find another rabbit last night. With a little assist from Mother Nature, whose sudden hailstorm led to a 50 minute delay that knocked out planned long reliever Mike Baumann after two batters, the Yankees then blitzed fresh callup Travis Lakins Sr. to stake themselves to a 5-2 lead that held the rest of the way.

After the loss, the Orioles sit at 2-6 on the season. They are the only MLB team to have scored fewer than 20 runs to date.
