    Beats the Hell out of that 0-23 start a few years back. Wasn't it 23 games?

        In '88 they started out 0-21. Thank you for bringing out that memory I had repressed.

          I seem to remember Letterman doing some sort of tribute to them although the details are fuzzy. I can't believe it was that long ago now.

                Have the Orioles been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention yet?

                  Guthrie pitches 6 and leaves with a 1-0 lead. Six - that's right, SIX - freaking relievers later the Orioles leave the field with a 4-3 loss.

                  On the bright side, there is still a chance - although it's a Lloyd Christmas kind of chance - to be within 20 games at the end of the month. We're only 16.5 back right now.

                    The Os have no closer and their relievers are bad. This is almost identical to what happened last Saturday night. They gave up 8 or so in the 8th inning. I feel bad for Guthrie, he's a good pitcher and LDS to boot, yet he doesn't win too many games because he's been on teams with no offensive output or poor relief pitchers. He's pitched really well this season, has a decent curve ball and a hell of a change up that really throws batters for a loop.

                      Yep. Guthrie can only do what he can do. It's a shame because he could consistently win 15-20 games a year if he had any help.

                      I think it's been almost 20 years since the Os had a solid bullpen.

                        IMO, it doesn't matter who is managing. As long as Angelos is the owner, the Orioles will suck.

                          I like Showalter a ton. But the O's are down right pathetic.

                            I like Showalter as well and think he's a great manager, but Baltimore is career suicide for any manager as long as Angelos is the owner. Perhaps we could get heaven to take both Davis and Angelos as a buy one get one free promotion? (And I'm not even a Raiders fan).

                              I've learned to expect disappointment as an Orioles fan. Are you telling me, IPU, there might be hope again in another 20 years?

                                Hope springs eternal, but is always crushed by reality.

                                I still hear rumors now and then that Cal Ripkin Jr. is trying to put together a group to buy the Orioles, but Angelos doesn't want to sell.
