13 And Out......pitched

*******SNOW REQUSTS TRADE*******

Willie Harris was out. It looked close, but he was out. That he tried to steal after getting the hold sign is one thing, but the Red Sox were outpitched and outplayed last night. Erik Bedard kept getting better and better as the innings went by, and when the O's ninth inning pitcher, their closer Chris Ray, bore down, we were finished. 5 hits, a few wasted opportunities, but a tip of the hat has to go to the O's pitching. This was not a tough one to lose. The Orioles deserved it.
And so we and the Yankees are tied with identical records. And as Roger Clemens steps up his workouts and a looming bidding battle grows closer with each passing day, a 23-15 record is not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all.
