Count mean as doubtful. After all, the Orioles have $3 million tied up in this guy.

The first column is the record when the O's reached 10 wins; the second is the record after 34 games.  As expected, this season is near 1988 levels.  The quickest to 10 wins was in 1996 & 1998 at 10-2.

30 losses.

Can someone check the stadium's water for lead or mercury or quaaludes?

[gtman55]

Have you seen the first inning against the powerhouse Royals? This team may as well be called the Titanics cause we hit an iceberg and are sinking FAST. 

By the time we get our 10th win we'll have 35 losses.

The suckitude is reaching historic levels.

I just glanced at the score and had to double take, then laugh.

Orioles are now 10-27 after taking 2 of 3 from KC.

I was right ....for once.

2 games behind the pace of the 2010 Orioles (12-25) but 4 games ahead of 1988 (6-31)

baby steps.

I know you posted this a couple of days ago, but I had the very same thought (the lead or mercury part). 

[NashLumber]

I was at the Tides game at Norfolk and for the first time in decades, I forgot to even check on the O’s score while out and about. Happy they won, but I think this says a lot about how this season has worn me down already.. I think if I’d have checked the score during Tillman’s first inning, I probably would not have checked it again tonight. I was shocked when I saw they had 11 runs,  that they had actually trailed by so much early.

This may belong in the "Positive Vibe" thread, but I like the fact that we have some breathing room now before we return to .250 again.  Bats are alive (when facing mediocre hurlers), CD did not have a "golden" and Trumbo is running well again!  Namaste

Only 12.5 games out of the 2nd wild card!

[esmd]

Glad to be wrong.  Hopefully they can right the ship somewhat and at least be respectable for the remainder of the season.  Really, if you look at the talent on this team, they're not a horrible team. 

[Nite]

Maybe I sparked something! Perhaps a little quote for inspiration will finish the job and right the ship?

Lou Brown: OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!
