Hello, friends.
Seventeen straight losses! Even in my bleakest dreams about the 2021 Orioles season, I could not have imagined this, and yet, here we are. Though I know the O’s really suck, there’s still something stunning about this much consecutive suck.
I think I understand the poor Baltimore radio personality who responded to the 1988 O’s losing streak by saying he’d sleep in the studio until the team won a game. It just feels like they would have to luck into one eventually, right? Except even the 1988 Orioles had two future Hall of Famers in Cal Ripken Jr.
