A four game winning streak - taking the first three from Baltimore - all came to crushing halt this afternoon. It only takes one bad inning and when that was the first inning for CC, you just took it as a bad omen. A 1-4 loss when the final out was made - and to dispel any thoughts that Tanaka would be given an extra day Chad Green was used for 2.1 of relief . Sabathia gave up two in the first but settled in until that 7th where he doubled that for his sixth consecutive loss. Problem is Tillman was smoking for the O's and no one was connecting. The next series is crucial - it will tell us whether there is any reason to expect at least a respectable 9-10 weeks to end the season. Not saying to make the playoffs but let's go out in a blaze of glory - my philosophy in life which I why I accepted the challenge to zipline with friends.
