Thursday Bird Droppings: The John Means no-hitter hangover edition

Hello, friends.

Every time I sit down to watch an Orioles game, I tell myself that maybe today is the day that I will see the Orioles throw a no-hitter. It has to happen eventually, I would say, since the last combined no-hitter was in 1991 and the last solo no-hitter was in 1969. I don’t know when I started doing this. It’s been a long time.

Most games, this hope is quashed fairly early on. The Orioles haven’t exactly been flush with good pitchers in recent years, the kind who could threaten a no-hitter any time out.
