It's looking more and more like Tuesday night's game between the Red Sox and Orioles
will be a washout. Boston has an available off-day on Thursday—
but the Birds do not. So, assuming anyone cares if Game #158 is even
played, it will probably be part of a day/night, double-admission twin-bill on Wednesday (probably 12PM and 7PM). If the Red Sox clinch the best overall record in MLB tonight, these remaining two games with our fine feathered friends from Chesapeake Bay will
truly be moot. We
suppose that
Buck Showalter might try to motivate the troops to get to 50 wins on the year (they need five more to do that, by the way). But, that strategy is highly unlikely to stimulate a team that has already lost 110. The Orioles cannot match the Modern Era record for losses (120 by the 1962
New York Metropolitans), so there's not even
that. In short, for
The Carmine Hose (and their fans), October baseball cannot come soon enough.
