You may look at the bottom of the AL East standings and see the Orioles 34 games behind the division leading Yankees. With 87 losses this year, it is quite possible that the same team that started the season in the most embarrassing fashion ever may actually come in under 100 total losses this year.

For the past 13 Augusts, O’s fans have been more than happy to turn the page on their calendars in anticipation for the start of the NFL season in September.
During a season where the team once possessed the worst record in baseball and has just absolutely embarrassed themselves night in an night out- the Orioles [...]

Now 8-1 under Buck Showalter.
Just won their third consecutive series, for the first time since ???? I’m gonna guess 2005, but I’ll let someone else look it up.
Update: From Roch:
With a win tonight, the Orioles would complete their first three-game sweep in Cleveland since April 10-12, 1987. It also would mark their first three-game [...]

Yes, Brian, we did.  Some of us maybe a little too much, my girlfriend might say.

With under 48 hours remaining in the trade deadline, the Orioles have made their first of what we hope to be many moves to salvage something positive from this absolutely horrific season.

Scott was eventually placed on the 15-day DL and since then has made [...]

From The Baltimore Sun:
The Orioles will continue without a permanent manager until at least after the non-waiver trade deadline passes on Saturday, no matter how the team fares on its current road trip.
Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail reiterated today that he does not have a set timeline for hiring someone to replace interim [...]

Happy 30th O’s…. it’s e’ffing July. With 11 days left to spare in the month, the Orioles pulled off their 30th win in extra inning fashion beating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 11-10 in 13 innings. For comparisons’ sake, the Yankees reached the 30-win plateau back on May 30th.

Of course, the “monumental” win was no [...]

Goob is off being a good Samaritan this week, helping to raise the spirits of cancer patients at a camp in North East, Maryland (no really – when he’s not spewing bile about the Steelers or Yankees, he’s a pretty nice guy), so I’ll step in and address some recent Birdland happenings.
