Belated Quick Hits; The Game Last Night - O's Lose to the Angels 9-7, Huff Hits for the Cycle...

Sorry for the delay today, but I have been feeling sick all day.

Well, unless you were under a rock yesterday, you know the Orioles lost last night thanks to home run by Howie Kendrick last night served by Chris Ray.

The Angels ended up winning the game by a score of 9-7.

Aubrey Huff hit for the cycle last night, but the night is now remembered for yet another Oriole defeat in the hands of the bullpen, rather than the feat or a near-comeback by the black and orange.

Steve Trachsel got hit hard, but give credit to Rob Bell for keeping the Orioles in the game.

Folks, what do we do with Chris Ray? Is he meant to be a closer, or is he just in a funk?

The Orioles MLB site has more on Huff and his historic night.

If you didn’t hear, Steve Trachsel has been put on the DL – however, that’s news to him. He looked terrible last night, but is he hurt?

There’s more on the story from Roch Kubatko in his blog, Roch Around the Clock.

There’s a recap of the game last night from the Washington Post, and the Baltimore Examiner.

In light of the event of the controversy on Thursday considering the rain and the storms during the Yankee-Oriole game, Andy MacPhail believes that there’s a lot of blame to spread around and the team has to shoulder some of it. The Orioles MLB site has more on the situation and so does the Baltimore Examiner.

Dan Connolly reports on the inexperience of Dave Trembley and the precedent of him being a first time major league manager with no playing experience.

Peter Schmuck believes right now, there’s no manager employed or otherwise who is custom fit for the team right now under MacPhail…

Under Dave Trembley, the Orioles are more aggressive on the basepaths now…

According to Matt Palmer, Bedard will be talking more – oh joy.
