Coming up with the Chicago Cubs, Felix Pie was thought of as a great prospect. After fizzling out in Chicago, he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles. So far this year Pie was mostly a disappointment in Baltimore. However, on Friday, Pie illustrated some of his potential.

The bad news is, the Yankees took this game against the Baltimore Orioles (thanks to Robinson Cano) in the bottom of the ninth and have won two in a row.
The good news is, the Boston Red Sox are on a 7-game win streak, the Yanks are 7.5 games behind and in last place, and GM Joe Girardi got ejected from yesterday’s game against Baltimore (46s):
