The Baltimore Orioles hit three home runs in the final two innings (One with two outs in the 9th.) and scored six more times in the 10th to beat our Sox 10-4 on a chilly Monday night.
The Sox were holding onto a 4-1 lead in the 8th before the wheels feel off. Jesse Crain surrendered what looked to be a meaningless solo home run to cut the Sox lead in half. Then closer Hector Santiago gave up two solo bombs in the 9th. The O's brutalized Zack Stewart in the 10th to make sure there were no White Sox comebacks and to demoralize fans of the Pale Hose.
In a game that was played in front of about 10 people, the outcome eerily reminded me of some of those bad April & May losses from last season.
Just as some were feeling a little good about this team they give you the middle finger.
The end of that game was brutal, just fucking brutal. The Sox surprised us with a decent start to the season, but if they revert to form in this series, it's gonna be a long season.
