The Orioles are a bad baseball team. For much of the season it has been quite clear that there are none worse than them. Apparently, all the O’s needed to do was step right up and meet the Mets. They closed out a modest two-game sweep in Queens on Wednesday afternoon with a 1-0 victory. This is the first O’s sweep of the season.
Alas, the Orioles do not get to inhabit the NL East. They will see these Mets only four times all year. And it may be that they just got to play the Mets at the right time.
