Its like Elias knew we were not that good and were playing way above our heads and figured if the Orioles really are going to win anything they will have to do it themselves with the team he put out there.  But nothing doing bringing up anyone in the minors.  Oh no not that.  

It’s baseball. Yankees were the greatest team on earth. Lately have been awful. 
 

If they fall apart it’s not because of one game. That said this game is frustrating.

With the way the central teams are playing and the easy schedule they have for the first time today I feel like any chance we had is slipping away. Elias's non action as well.  Really let myself get caught up thinking this roster had a chance. Going to adjust expectations and just hope we can finish above 500. Gotta focus on the long term..

Well bros, I think it's safe to say we blew another one.

6 outs to work with. But yes, feels like that.

Likely the Orioles start swooning now.   Probably end the season just below .500.   

This year has been a success, but it would seriously bite if they had a end of season collapse that we've seen in prior seasons.

Well the home runs Krehbiel gave up did bounce off the Cubs hitters bats nicely.

Wtf was that? Umpires are just terrible in general. 

[O's84]

Ball 5!

At least Ced looks fired up...how pro is he?

I think the home plate umpire might be in a hurry to make a dinner reservation.

I've used to be a proponent of keeping the game the way it is.  But I can't do it anymore.  Bring on the electronic umps.

[O's84]

Alright, we got something brewing (I hope).

[DEOriolesfan]

Here we go!

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Ok this is it the Orioles have a chance to make it a ballgame.

Save us Ryan.

Ryan is not good.  Zero hope here.
