Nightcap: 8/7/07 @ Orioles

We've just climbed aboard the Dream Weaver traaaaain. Yes, I am actually listening to the song over and over again as I type this entry. I got back a couple hours ago from the M's and O's game at Camden Yards and boy did we put on our hittin' shoes tonight. The efforts of Dream Weaver on the mound and the Werewolf of London at the dish propelled us to a huge 10-3 victory in the first game of this 3 game set in Baltimore. Ibanez crushed homeruns seven and eight of the season in his 3 for 6 effort while driving in four and scoring three times. Increasing your season homerun tally by a quarter in one night in August, well, thats sad yet refreshing. Something to note about the offense is that we only struck out twice tonight, both by Beltre, who did have two hits as well. Weaver pitched himself out of jams and only allowed three runs in six innings while surrendering eleven hits and the bullpen pitched the final three innings giving up no runs on four hits. I was also impressed that Weaver walked NO ONE! I was disappointed at not winning rally fries, especially after I met one of the M's cameramen before the game. Overall a very satisfying night at the ballpark, I'll be there again Thursday.
