Congratulations, Dave


Dave Trembley was announced as the new Baltimore Orioles skipper on Wednesday afternoon. His boys celebrated by giving up more runs in one game than any club had in the past 110 years (the Louisville Colonels having been the last to surrender at least that many, back in 1897 to the Chicago Colts). What, they drained Charm City of Natty Bo before taking BP last night?

By way of comparison, that run total was more than the points scored by 20 of the 41 Super Bowl winners. Brian Burres gave up eight earned runs in two-thirds of an inning of relief for the O's. That's an ERA of 108.00, or roughly the GAA of Martin Houle (ok, his GAA was 30.00, and he only played 2:12 last year).
