Orioles @ Rays: Series Preview(4/1-4/3)

[JoshRedcay]

David Price is always pretty hard to beat, we'll see how they do with this new offense. I think the O's will take it 2-1, but losing the game against David Price.

I'd rather have Scott batting ahead of Jones usually, but I'd guess we'll see this lineup when facing tough lefties.

I'm ready ... somebody throw out the first pitch already!

Vlad with the O's first official hit of 2011!

A little disappointed that Roberts struck out with Hardy on third and 1 out, but Nick came through for us.

Guthrie is absolutely on his game today ... 1 hit, 0 walks thru 5. Tampa's offense is looking pretty unimpressive.
