It was a weekend to forget for the Baltimore Orioles, who dropped three out of four games to the Red Sox. With the Birds floundering at 14-32, the only team in all of baseball with fewer wins happens to be their next opponent: the Chicago White Sox.
After flipping most of their established players over the past two years, the White Sox are in the midst of a full-scale rebuild. The Orioles figure to follow suit this summer, but at 12th in the AL in runs per game and 13th in ERA, they seem to have gotten a head start on losing prolifically, even as they pay millions of dollars to players like Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo.
