The Center for Disease Control has been alerted to an outbreak of O's Fever in the borough of Queens.
The Baltimore Orioles have taken the first 2 of three games from the NL East leading NY Mets in surprising fashion. The Orioles have delivered timely hitting to take advantage of sloppy Mets defensive play and backed it up with good pitching.
Getting 6 and 8 innings pitched in games 1 & 2 from starters Bedard and Benson, respectively, easily represents the best two game stretch of starting pitching for the O's all season. The bullpen has 4 innings of shutout baseball.
I suspect Mets manager Willie Randolph has some medicine for the Mets affliction and no doubt gave 'em all a dose of it after last nights game in which the Mets committed 3 errors.
The final game of 3 is today and the Mets send Tom Glavine to the mound. A solid left handed starter combined with a dose of "Get yer head out of yer #!$@%@$" from Randolph, will likely be enough to stay the CDC from quarantining the borough.
As for the carrier of O's fever, I can only say "Go North, young germ".
