The most defiant defense in the NFL can't say the P-word, but it can use the S-word. And the Ravens speak the language of shutouts eloquently.Ravaging a once-proud Dallas Cowboys' offense, 27-0, before 69,416 at PSINet Stadium, the Ravens' defense yesterday climbed another rung on a ladder only a few have dared to scale. Their fourth shutout of the regular season is the second-most in the NFL's Super Bowl era, one behind the 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers. Their eighth win of the season - tying the franchise high - leaves them positioned well for the stretch run to the postseason.

Orioles entered this six-game road trip to National League parks on their hottest offensive tear of the season. Consider it cooled. Considerably. The Orioles lost 5-0 to the New York Mets on Tuesday, the second consecutive night in which they have been shut out at Citi Field. “A lot of it has got to do with pitchers on the top of their game will make you look like you're not on top of yours,” said Orioles manager Buck Showalter. After Monday's one-hit gem twirled by knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, Mets' lefty Johan Santana followed with six scoreless innings Tuesday and New York's bullpen made it hold up before an announced 32,587.

Nicole Froman plays every soccer game with the same outcome in mind."Shutouts -- that's what I like," said Loch Raven's senior sweeper. "If I don't score a goal, if it's 1-0, I did my job. My shutouts are my goals."Froman has helped record more career shutouts than many good strikers have goals.Of the 49 high school games she has played, 30 have been shutout victories. The Raiders are 41-7-1 with her in the lineup and have allowed only 30 goals.While Froman spreads the credit around for those stats to the entire defense, much of the Raiders' strength is based on her performance in the back.

There is a certain pride the top-ranked River Hill defense has. The Hawks don't just want to beat their opponents, they want to shut them out. And they did just that last night with a 28-0 victory over visiting Elkton of Cecil County in a Class 2A state semifinal in Clarksville. "It's not something we expected to do early in the year, but we got off to a good start with four shutouts in a row," River Hill coach Brian Van Deusen said. "The kids started taking pride in it and wanted to shut everybody out. It's been an awesome year.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Two home runs by leadoff hitter Brady Anderson and a career-high 26th by left fielder B. J. Surhoff last night ignited the Orioles to a 10-0 throttling of the Minnesota Twins. Anyone looking closely enough could find encouraging images for the present and future.Given three first-inning runs, Orioles starting pitcher Jason Johnson (6-7) never allowed the tying run to reach the plate in a powerful albeit abbreviated performance. Right fielder Albert Belle extended his recent breakout with another multi-hit game.
