Hello, friends.
There’s no Orioles game today. There won’t be one tomorrow either, or the next day, or the day after that. We have at last arrived at the All-Star break after 89 games, many more of which have been bad than good. The totals have not been very lovely at all.
The All-Star festivities are not going to have a whole lot to do with the Orioles. No Oriole will be in the Home Run Derby tonight. Only John Means is on the roster for Tuesday’s game, and I won’t be holding my breath for him to get to pitch, although it will be cool if he does.
