It is a bit yes. I mean it could happen, but heavy snows in the deep south?? Even northern Florida? that's just ridiculous. Even more so in a strong El-Nino winter. Sure it will be cooler than normal and generally wet there, but not white.

Sorry to hear that a key player is out, though

The 35-41 orioles, who were just shutout despite a good pitching performance, now get to play the Dodgers lol. Any chance this ends well?

This is the kind of season where something dumb can happen and they win the series a la last September, lol

Remember the no hitter through 8 2/3 innings that turned into an O's walkoff win?

Not at all!  Seems like it was good luck

Exactly what I was thinking of! The rare moments of joy we had last year, lol

Well, I think this L from the Orioles will be the proverbial nail in the coffin for the season. I don't see how they come back from this one. They might get swept in back-to-back series and fall 9 games under .500 after this one with the Dodgers. They needed to win tonight and had a chance and blew it.

Awful loss.  But they've had a bunch of those already.  Just no sign of them turning it around.  I thought that 10 wins out of 14 games (or whatever that stretch was a couple weeks ago) was it...but nope.

I was just STARTING to think that was it as well, but was not gonna buy into it until they got over .500. So often you see struggling teams can get on a random hot streak and pull within a couple games of that mark. But then just as they do they hit the wall, stupid stuff happens, and they fall backwards. The Blue Jays series was that moment: we win that we are just two games under with a chance to get to or over .500. But instead? We lost 4 in a row. It was that moment where I kinda closed the door on any chance of turning it around this year. They are somewhat better than last year, but still mediocre. And I do not think that's gonna change until they get rid of Elias. It's he and Sig that has made this system...and it has failed these players. I hope Rubenstein & Co. do the right thing!
