Orioles finish 1-8 road trip as Rays complete sweep, 8-3
(An homage to Ernest L. Thayer’s Casey at the Bat...)
The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Bal’mer nine today
(But let’s be honest, that’s true almost every time they play).
Putrid pitching. Flimsy fielding. Lousy at the plate.
The O’s, in case you didn’t know, are in a sorry state.
The Birds began with just a tiny bit of fleeting hope.
Three walks to start -- would this lead to a scoring rally? Nope!
One guy was caught stealing, two others were left stranded;
Despite the many runners, the O’s went down empty-handed.
The Rays, meanwhile? They scored runs, ‘cause they’re actually good.
They jumped on poor Josh Rogers just as quickly as they could.
