Tonight, a 27-year-old named Chris Waters made his major league debut by shutting out the best team in baseball, the Los Angeles Angels, giving up just one hit in eight innings, winning 3-0 and giving me a glimmer of Oriole hope I haven't felt in an awful long time. Waters' pitching was beautiful. He fielded masterfully and had the kind of quiet poise on the mound that normally belongs to a veteran.
He was so smooth. In the post-game interview he said it was the Lord that did it, not him.
Well thank you, Christ. Because this felt like the beginning of something. Sure, they're last in the league. But I'm thinking maybe the Lord is mixin it up this year. You heard it here first, folks. I don't think it's premature. I am predicting the Baltimore Orioles go all the way this year. Not on the shoulders of this guy alone because, for Christ's sake, have you seen our numbers?
