Hello, friends.
Another day has dawned with the Orioles in last place in the American League East. The O’s are now 43.5 games behind the division-leading Red Sox and 17.5 games behind even the fourth place B lue Jays.
In their 112th game in 1988, the Orioles were beaten by the Royals, 4-3. Bo Jackson drove in the winning run against the O’s, which was unearned due to an earlier error committed by Billy Ripken. This dropped the ‘88 squad to 37-75, now three games better than the 2018 team is doing. The current O’s are on pace to win 49 games, five games fewer than the 1988 team managed to win.
