The game was all but lost, the season all but over. No hope remained for the Orioles in the middle of another pathetic offensive effort that saw them blow scoring chance after scoring chance, just an absolutely endless stream of miserable failure. Nothing good would be happening to the Orioles this night.
Then Hyun Soo Kim pinch hit in the ninth inning. Hyun Soo Kim, who the team tried to persuade to accept a minor league assignment back in spring training. Hyun Soo Kim, who was booed by some of the idiots of the Orioles fanbase back on Opening Day, not that many of them are likely to admit to having participated in that action now.
