Grab the poutine and crack open a Molson. A new baseball season has arrived and, for the first time ever, the Orioles are starting it in Canada.
Last year the O’s began their season with a feeling of unfinished business after getting swept out of the 2023 playoffs. This year that feeling is even more, um, unfinisheder, following the Birds’ second straight one-and-done postseason series sweep.
Maybe someday the Orioles, who now hold the longest active postseason losing streak at 10 in a row, will win a playoff game again. But before they get there, they’ll have to navigate a grueling 162-game that begins this afternoon at Rogers Centre.
