Game 7: Orioles 7, Devil Rays 6

So...Tropicana Field. Do they vacuum the field to make it look ugly like that?

I'm beginning to lose my patience with Cabrera. Sure, he's a big guy with a strong arm, but two poor outings to start the season doesn't bode well for the rest of it. Luckily, this team is built to overcome lackluster pitching with an explosive offense.

You could almost see the O's braintrust pat themselves on the back with its decision to switch Ryan and Julio in their relief roles. Julio almost gave the game away, giving up a run before leaving for Ryan, who also had a close call but managed to close the game with 3 straight outs after giving up a triple and a walk. Kudos. Even more kudos to Brian Roberts, who already is having an outstanding year.

Sammy Sosa got his first home run of the season. Here's a weird fact I heard: This was Sosa's first home run at Tropicana Field. There are only a few places where he hasn't hit one. One of them is the O's own Camden Yards.
