Hello, friends.
Another day has dawned with the Orioles in last place in the American League East. They now trail the division-leading Red Sox by 52.5 games, only avoiding worse because the Red Sox were also swept this weekend. The Orioles now trail even the fourth place Blue Jays by 23.5 games.
There are 31 games left to play. The Orioles are not far off from being mathematically eliminated from finishing in any place other than last. Oh, and their next series is against those same Blue Jays, so the O’s have potential to fall even farther into the cellar.
