Showdown between Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia was absolutely spellbinding. It was easy to see the crowd’s desire to see Sergio win. Being that Fowler, Spieth, and Hoffman faltered–the crowd got behind the guy who had never one a major and rooted him home. This was not the Ryder Cup. Now it’s time for Westwood and Rickie to end the major jinx.
The bullpen failed the O’s today as the pen gave up 7 runs after the O’s had a … Read More »

6 months later Zach Britton finally pitched the 2 scoreless innings that were left on the table in 2016. ONCE AGAIN Mark Trumbo delivered a GW HR. Thank heavens the O’s did not repeat the “Cruz” faux pas of not resigning a massive HR hitter. Chris Davis 3 great short hop scoops for the O’s. Manny just keeps being Manny with an incredible play in the 11th. Tons of empty for Opening Day? Why? Great win for the O’s to … Read More »
