Chicago White Sox @ Baltimore Orioles (2)

If anything, it was hotter this evening and without the occasional cooling breeze, which made it somewhat tiring to watch this one-sided game at times. Joe Saunders, making his first start for Baltimore, got tagged for 4 runs in the top of the first inning as the White Sox nearly batted around and the Orioles never recovered. This game was less than 3 hours long, but it seemed to drag on forever. This wasn't helped by the pitching changes, more frequently mid-inning than last night. But, please, Robin Ventura, the Chicago manager, WHY bother changing pitcher in the bottom of the 9th, two out, with a 7 run lead and the bases empty? Everybody just wanted to go home!

During the 8th and 9th inning, the Oriole bird (pictured) was dancing on top of the O's dugout and posing for pictures with fans whilst play was going on. A sharp foul ball at dugout roof height could have been problematic. I was in the front row of section 228 and although we never had an opportunity to catch a foul ball, they seemed to be whistling either side of our section and above.
