The Orioles have been an embarrassing team for most of the season, and this weekend put the cherry on top of the embarrassment sundae as our Birds were swept by the Kansas City Royals, the only team even close to as bad as them.
There was optimism for a brief moment as, in the top of the first inning, Jonathan Villar hit his 11th home run of the season to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead. A lead! Could they hold it? Obviously not. In fact, that one run was the only they’d score en route to a six-hit game.
