Imagine coming into Baltimore with a double-digit winning streak, only to get absolutely trounced by an Orioles team that many expect to lose triple-digit games this season.

Roller Coaster of Emotion







We do this to ourselves. We forget the whole “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” cliche, and we live and die by every win and loss during the baseball season – a baseball season that we told ourselves was going to be ugly.

So… at least we’re honest with ourselves?



We review the Highs, the Lows, and the Parts that Make Us Puke. We need YOU To supply the reasons we love this ride. Let us know on Twitter @birdseyeviewbal.
