Who would've thought

Going in to the season, all the talk (me included) was that the Orioles finally have a veteran ace of their pitching staff.  Speculation was that he wasn't happy to be here, but Kevin Millwood was a veteran who has pitched in MLB for a long time and should be a double digit winner.  Plus, he should be a great influence on Brian Matusz, Chris Tillman, Brad Bergesen, and the rest of the Birds young pitchers.  Flash forward to September 23rd.  Millwood is 3-16, he has an ERA over five runs a game and he's given up 30 home runs.  Meanwhile, Matusz, and Bergesen have shown real improvement.  At least since Buck Showalter took over as skipper.  Baseball is a funny game.
