 AH> "Expectorgate" Alomar would not let the Orioles lose.  With two outs in
 AH> the ninth, he singled off of Jose' Mesa to tie the game.  In the 12th,
 AH> he led off with a solo homer that was the winning run in the 4-3 game
 AH> that clinched the series.
 AH> Surrounded by the controversy he brought on
 AH> himself, and followed by a torrent of boos, he nonetheless rose to the
 AH> occasion in a big game in which his teammates left their bats on the
 AH> bus.
 AH> He made a stupid, childish mistake when he spit in Hirschbeck's
 AH> face (inexcusable no matter what Hirschbeck may have said, and despite
 AH> the fact that Hirschbeck was the person who kept the argument going by
 AH> following Alomar to the dugout rather than staying behind the plate),
 AH> and deserves at least a 10 game suspension at the start of next season,
 AH> but the guy is a prime-time player.
 Am I the only one who recognizes what's going on here?
 It's so obvious.
 Alomar sold his soul to the Devil, just so that the Devil could arrange
 a playoff appearance for the O's.
 The modern version of "Damn Yankees."
 We need "The Church Lady" to sing the national anthem at the
 World Series.  It's the only way to save baseball.
