Buck's Musings

5	1

Tonight the Bird's secured themselves a second straight series victory against the Devil Rays. It is good to see them playing with some consistency against playoff teams and cellar dwellers the like.

Tonight's victory was spurred on by two-run double by Miguel Tejada in the top of the seventh-inning. I didn’t see this though because I was in the store picking up some groceries. However, while I was watching the game I heard one of the greatest Buck Martinezisms. “The biggest difference between the Orioles and the Devil Rays, is that from top to bottom in this Orioles lineup anyone of them is capable of taking it out of the yard at anytime. Lou Piniella knows that the Devil Rays need to string together 3 base hits and a passed ball just to scrap up one run.” That’s just a great line and had me rolling! Poor Lou, but unfortunately true.

Buck followed this musing up with, “They’ve proven that ground balls don’t go any farther at Coors field than anywhere else”. Pure baseball genius!
