The Baltimores, the worst team in baseball, swept a 4-game series in Texas against the first place Rangers.
How did that happen?
I don't know but that's the beauty of baseball. The worst team in baseball can beat the best teams and not just on any given day. They can sweep a series as we just saw. The worst team in baseball usually still wins 60 games. The best team will lose around 60-65 games.
I still try to figure out baseball but it is an impossible task. No one has ever figured the game out but we still give it a shot.
So when inexplicable things happen, like Dallas Braden throwing a perfect game or the hideous Orioles sweeping 4-games from a playoff contender, there is one simple explanation for it. Simply, "that's baseball."
I remember one of the great quotes of all time by former Astros and Cards pitcher Joaquin Andujar. He said you can sum up baseball in one word, "youneverknow."
