Leading Off
Everything was going so well, and then, somehow, the Orioles found the Dark Ages Script. And like fools, they decided to put on a production of “Everything Is Awful, And Your Team Hates You.” Seriously, can you remember the last game you enjoyed? OK – can you remember the last two successive games you enjoyed? No. We just watched until it hurt
These are the times that try fans’ souls.
The Medical Wing
The Medical Wing is at full capacity this week It’s absurd how many people are hurt, and how significant some of the injuries are.
* Zach Britton – shut down 45-60 days with forearm discomfort
* Gabriel Ynoa – hamstring, coming back soon for rehab start… will most likely be optioned to the minors to stay as a starter (or, you know, when one of the starters sucks)
* Ryan Flaherty – strained right shoulder (PRP injection!)
* We have a dark, dark theory…

@BirdsEyeViewBal But not by much.
We always did enjoy a good squeeze.#gOldeneye

This 2 run deficit seems insurmountable. This is what the dark ages felt like for all you young ones out there.

Poll: does AJ's HR warrant an orange seat at Camden? Discuss.

What Just Happened?

We’re going to be honest here: the last week’s worth of games are all a blur. The starting pitching wasn’t enough, the bullpen blew it when it would hurt the most, and the offense knew just when to come up short. Man. These games were hard on the fans. Here was the recipe for Orioles Tragic:
*
Karma punished us for letting go of Matt Wieters.
*
The Ghost of ALCS 2014 haunted us again.
*
