Daniel Cabrera won his 6th game of the season as I was dominating a fantasy football draft.

Cabrera was absolutely outstanding tonight. He pitched a complete game shut out and struck out 10 batters. He only gave up 5 hits and 2 walks. You couldn’t ask for much more than that. Its Cabrera’s second shut out of his career. Maybe he put it all togeter for once today and he’ll be the ace we all know he can be, but its much more likely that he’ll walk 6 batters in 5 innings the next time out. Its hard to figure out wat to do with DC. We send him to the minors, he comes back and pitches good, then gets bombed, then pitches a shut out. If we ever get rid of this guy, thats when he’ll blow up into the next Pedro Martinez. If we never get rid of him, he’ll probbly never change. No bullpen necessary today.

The offense exploded for 15 runs when a measly one would have got the job done. And we are still undefeated with Nick Markakis in the 2nd spot of the lineup. If I keep saying it, maybe it’ll stay that way. And of course he hit a homerun, his 8th, to prove to our skipper that he needs to stay there. Brian Roberts hit another homerun, his 6th. Which leaves him with what I predicted he would hit after he went 3 months before hitting his first. Miguel Tejada hit a double and his 21st homerun of the season. Jay Gibbons, Ramon Hernandez, and Kevin Millar (twice) hit doubles. I guess its that time of the year for Millar to start hitting like he needs a contract next year. Jeff Conine also had a multi-hit game. I guess it wouldn’t matter how bad our pitching was if we hit like this every game.

Markakis watch: 1-4 (.304)

We have a good chance of winning our 5th in a row tomorrow since Erik Bedard (12-8, 3.81) is pitching. But he is going up against Toronto ace Roy Halladay (15-3, 3.20), so we’ll see. Go O’s.
