Sorry, Baltimore Orioles, your World Series trophy is in another castle. Maybe call the bullpen to see if your lonely closer has seen it.
The Orioles journey ended in heartbreak, as they fell to the Blue Jays in the American League wild-card game. On one hand, you could say they advanced further than 20 other teams. On the other hand, they’re really just the 21st in a long line of disappointing endings. Only there’s was broadcast for all the world to see, and it happened with their best weapon, Zach Britton, still sitting in the bullpen.
