This team does its best at finding ways to lose ballgames. Sam used…i dunno…20 relievers in the 8th to try to get three outs. Its a shame that Bedard’s great start had to be flushed down the tubes because the bullpen can’t work an inning.

Predictions:

• This homestand is Perlozzo’s last stand
• Bullpen adjustments will be made (Williams and Parrish down…I doubt Baez has the ability contract-wise to be sent down barring injury and Rob Bell and Hoey up)
• House and Knott have to get on this team, it makes too much sense. Then you realize this is the Orioles we’re talking about. I’m going to say these two are up in a week. Castillo and Bynum go.
• The O’s are sellers at the deadline.

I hope I’m right.

Good teams find ways to win games, the O’s find ways to lose them.
