The Orioles are 0-12 against the Blue Jays this year. They're 2-10 since the All-Star Break.
This season can't end soon enough. There's just not a reason to watch this season play out. The cavalry has arrived in the form of Matusz, Tillman, and Arrieta, and they are no better than they scrubs they've replaced, It's too early to write off those guys, or Matt Wieters and Adam Jones, but they have not lived up to expectations. There seems to be no more help on its way from the minors -- Josh Bell and Scott Moore seem clearly overmatched at the major-league level.
I admit that I'm not a qualified general manager or coach (surprise surprise), but the organization seems broken from top to bottom. Other teams call up prospects and guys play well and contribute the their teams. Ours don't. There has to be a reason, and it needs to be found or this franchise will die.
Free agency has gone no better. Kevin Millwood sucks in an almost Adam Eatonesque way (ADAM EATON KITTY PICTURE DAY!!! ADAM EATON KITTY PICTURE DAY!!!) Garrett Atkins is long gone. The fruits of the Bedard and Sherrill trades have not yielded the productivity the O's hoped for.
It's so bad that I just don't have words to describe it..and that's not the way to run a successful blog.
Which is maybe why this isn't a successful blog.
