Hello, friends.
It’s a gloomy day in Birdland, and it would be so even if the Orioles hadn’t lost a kind of stupid game in extra innings against the Mariners last night, sealing a kind of stupid series loss at home to a fellow bad team that they should have been able to beat at home. No, the outcome of the game almost doesn’t even matter, because the big bummer is the news you’ve probably already heard: Grayson Rodriguez has a lat strain and is out for an undetermined amount of time.
An injury to Rodriguez is one of the only things that could have really taken the wind out of the sails around here.
