Quote: "I'm not Randy Johnson and I'll never be Randy Johnson." -- Paul Spoljaric, Johnson's replacement in Seattle's rotation after the former Cy Young Award winner was traded to the Houston Astros.It's a fact: The first batter the Red Sox's Dennis Eckersley faced Sunday and retired -- the Angels' Troy Glaus -- was born 16 months after Eck made his major-league debut with the 1975 Indians.Who's hot: A homer by the Red Sox's Mo Vaughn Sunday against the Angels extended his hitting streak to 10 games.

After playing nine of their first 13 games on the road, the Orioles finally get a chance to settle in, even if it is only for a week.This will be the first time this season that the Orioles have played more than two games in a row at home, where they have won only once in four starts.The Milwaukee Brewers, the only Eastern Division team the Orioles see during the first six weeks of the season, open a three-game weekend series tonight. They will be followed into Memorial Stadium by the Seattle Mariners, who recently compiled a team-record eight-game winning streak.

The Baltimore Orioles are as puzzled as anyone else. Ben McDonald has become a mystery, and the club's once-lustrous pitching future won't be bright again until someone figures him out.It is a one-minute mystery -- one minute McDonald pitches well, the next minute he's got everyone wondering what all the excitement was about in the first place.Last night fell into the second category. McDonald gave up 10 hits over 7 1/3 innings and dropped a 4-2 decision to the struggling Milwaukee Brewers at Memorial Stadium.

The old-and-improved Orioles extended their recent dominance of domestic competition last night, beating the Chicago White Sox, 8-0, with a seven-run fifth inning, a long-awaited return to form by starting pitcher Juan Guzman and a display of heads-up defense.Two nights after giving a lethargic, even embarrassing, performance against a team of Cuban all-stars, the Orioles extended their season-high win streak to three by securing their second consecutive series and guaranteeing themselves at least a break-even 12-game homestand.

CHICAGO -- Upon further review, maybe it is time to panic.A season that began four weeks ago with promise and pitching tumbled further into disarray last night as the Orioles bungled their second four-run lead in four days before self-destructing, 16-7, against the Chicago White Sox.The performance became the latest, most embarrassing indignity to a team that has gone from first place to crisis mode within the same month. In the last 14 games, the starting rotation is 2-10 with an 8.95 ERA.Orioles pitching allowed double-digit runs for the fourth time in 10 games.

On the 28th anniversary of man's first walk on the moon, Cal Ripken went ballistic and Shawn Boskie turned Camden Yards into a launching pad. If the Eagle had landed as hard as the Orioles did yesterday, Neil Armstrong would still be up there.The Chicago White Sox hammered Boskie for seven runs -- five of them in the second inning -- on the way to a 10-2 victory over the Orioles before 47,800 at Camden Yards.If anyone's still counting, the Orioles have lost 10 of their past 13 games and are flirting with divisional disaster.
