O’s lose again, 6-2

Daniel Cabrera loses his second in a row to drop to 4-4 on the season.

I didn’t get a chance to see any of the game, but by looking at the boxscore I can see a few things. Cabrera pitched into the 6th inning and had 9 strikeouts and only walked 2, but he gave up 3 homeruns. That more than doubled his HR allowed total for the season. I don’t know what was different today than every other day so far this season, but it looked like he pitched pretty decent. If anyone wants to clue me in on what was wrong with Cabrera tonight, please do.

I noticed that Conine batted second in the lineup again tonight. I really think its just a bad idea to continue doing this. I can possibly see having him in the lineup against lefties, but he does not belong in the 2 hole. If they really wanna bat Mora 3rd and Tejada 4th, put Ramon Hernandez in the 2 spot. I think that would be more productive than Fahey and especially Conine.

I don’t have much today since I really didn’t see any of the game, but I still think we should win this series. I think we match up well the next 2 games with the tougher of the two being thursday against another lefty.
