ever learn to hit the cutoff man. This is September and he is still making that basic mistake. It just happened on A-Rod's RBI single in the sixth. Jones, with no shot to get a speedy runner at the plate, overthrew the cutoff man by 10 feet, allowing A-Rod to practically walk into second. You wonder how mistakes like these happen time and time again. It could have been very damaging in a close game. Fortunately for the O's, Chris Ray struck out Posada and that play didn't hurt the team...

A-Rod didn't homer. Neither did Derek Jeter. Or Johnny Damon or Mark Teixeria. Still the New York Yankees hit five homers in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Orioles in front of 25,782 at Camden Yards. The game had ties and lead changes like a basketball game. Luke Scott's 412-foot, three-run homer gave the Orioles a 6-5 lead in the 5th. It was the 52nd homer in O's Park history to reach Eutaw Street. Amber Theoharis interviews Luke Scott about the Birds' 9-6 loss But after Alex...

Not long before Nolan Reimold hit his seventh homer with the Birds Tuesday night, we noticed the sky above Oriole Park's stadium walls was a brilliant orange. "A good sign?" one of our multimedia producers asked. "Must mean the O's are going to win." As our jokes about the "good omen" faded into the sounds of the crowd five stories below our windows, BAM, Reimold hits another HR. Despite Mora's would-have-been-two-run-shot that was taken away by a fan interference call, it's good...
