Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Remember the first five games of the season? That sure was fun, huh? The O’s were winning games — on the road, even — with hustle and determination and grit and whatever other cliches you want to use. They reeled off four wins in a row, defying the critics who decreed they’d be the worst team in the majors. For a few days, O’s fans dared to dream that the club could outperform expectations and at least approach mediocrity this season.
Well, life comes at you fast.
The Orioles have spent the past four games looking like every bit the overmatched, understaffed cellar dwellers the pundits projected.
