If found, please return to 333 West Camden Street, Baltimore, MD; preferably before Tuesday at 7pm.  It was last seen on a rainy Saturday night. 

Please contact me if you have any information that may lead to its successful return.  Your name will be kept anonymous. 

Jeff Conine, I have caller ID and will know if it’s you.

The road-weary Orioles couldn’t support another solid Brian Burres start managing only 2 hits in the 4-0 loss to Kansas City Sunday afternoon.

Okay, he wasn’t as strong as he has been, but 4 runs isn’t bad and he did give up 9 hits, so it could have been much worse.

Just when you thought he was going to lose it, he gets 3 straight outs at the plate with the bases loaded.  That takes some nerve and nerve counts for something.

Alex Cintron got the call when Trembley finally sent McCrory back to Norfolk.  The O’s are back to 12 pitchers with Cintron, L. Hernandez, Payton, and Quiroz coming off the bench.  Cintron now rounds out the full 40-man roster.

Ramon Hernandez and Brian Roberts are listed as day to day, but before the game Trembley indicated that they are fine and will be available on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

The roster got a juggle for Sunday’s game with Luis Hernandez filling in at second and Huff playing third with Mora at DH.  Hopefully things will be a bit more back to normal when the division leaders get to town.

With two off days this week Trembley can do some juggling with his starters also. 

Most likely Trachsel will get skipped at least once, but may be available for long relief work- allowing Trembley to maintain 8 relievers...somewhat.  The Coach will announce his decision on Tuesday.
