30 runs in one baseball game. Imagine that. But somehow the Texas Rangers accomplished this miraculous feat, a feat for the record books when they clobbered the Baltimore Orioles to the tune of a (get this) 30-3 score.
Some folks when they saw this score pro'lly were thinking, "Is this a misprint?" "Am I seeing things?" "Oh no they didn't...they couldn't have."
But it's true. Texas did score 30 runs & left the Orioles doing a lot more than shaking their heads at such an awful blowout. All this after Orioles manager Dave Trembley got an extension on his contract...It's a wonder he hasn't been shown the door yet, even after this embarrassing loss.
Being on time. Being professional. Respecting the game. Those are three of Trembley's (as it were) insightful words of wisdom to his ballclub, & against the Yankees & Red Sox, this approach worked some wonders. Not so with Texas who scored at will...& I thought high-school teams had it bad getting clobbered by 27 runs. But in MLB, there's no such thing as a 10-run rule after say just 5 or 6 innings worth of play. It's even a wonder that this league could even use such a rule now that Baltimore set an example for us to gape at in awe.
Hitting the big 3-0. Or should I say the big 30. Either way, the Orioles wrote another inglorious chapter in their history as a ballclub & also another record-breaking chapter in the world of Major League Baseball while they were at it. And this is not just another day in paradise back @ Camden Yards.
It's time for Trembley to modify his words of wisdom before someone else hits the big 3-0.
