THE IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE

Perhaps I'll wish I'd held on to this post title for better times. Or maybe, hopefully, I'll have reason to non-sarcastically recycle it someday in the distant future.

But the Orioles won yesterday. They tried their hardest to lose it, even blowing a save to give Boston a chance to come back.

But in the 11th, Nick Markakis hit a one-out single to score Cesar Izturis from second, giving the Orioles an improbable (every Orioles win is improbable) victory, the first of the Juan Samuel Era, however long that may last.

WBAL news, Baltimore's NBC station, left on after the Flyers game, had the audacity to suggest that the Orioles had "righted the ship.'

Really? I wouldn't go quite that far.

But a win is nice.
