I can't wait until Saturdays game.

Not sure if you remember, but Cabrera's Major League debut was vs. the Sox, and he held us to 2 hits and 0 runs in 6 innings

Just looked it up, that was 1 year ago today vs. Garland

Mark Buehrle looked pretty good tonigjht,despite his rough 4th inning.But he finished his outing with a flourish.He retired the last 13 Orioles he faced in upping his record to 6-1.

So far,these pitchers are not afraid of Baltimore's big bats. :thumbsup:
