The Orioles latest winning streak is over. You can't win them all. Today in the links, why the O's didn't need Melvin Upton, Ubaldo looks forward to another start, and more.
Hello, friends.
Well, so much for hopes of that seven game winning streak in July. The Orioles decided to stink against Chad Bettis - he of a 5+ ERA - instead. No, I don't know why. It happens sometimes in baseball. Good offenses can still lose against bad pitchers some nights. Hitting a baseball is really hard and it's just not possible to win every game.
