Glenn Younes: Orioles - Yankees Game 5

Well Orioles fans it's not a game 7 but as close as it gets. Game 5 Friday in the Bronx, Yankees Stadium vs. a true Ace C.C. Sabathia. That's a task, a daunting one at that. Jason Hammel on the hill but the question is where are the collective bats?

No one is scoring in this series really so maybe it's just the vibe of things. Nate McLouth owned both sides of the 5th inning with a solo shot in the top and a great catch coupled with doubling off Russell Martin in the bottom. It's pretty remarkable how well both teams have been pitching but even more so considering the O's staff.

Be honest, this is out of body stuff for a lot of these guys. I'll take it however it comes. The overall idea that it's game 5 at the Yankees is such a thrill. Game 4 had not just my stomach but my entire body in knots but what a great feeling it was. I want to say that at this point everything is gravy for this 2012 bunch from Baltimore but I want a big game 5 win too.

Best part is they can really do it, don't know how, why or when they got this good but the Orioles are good. It came out of the blue and hope it never ends.
