If the games were only six innings long, the Orioles would be killing it this season. But, for some reason, they just can't hold on to a lead at the end of a game.
Hey, at least we're better than... the Houston Astros. Houston's the only team with a worse record, having yet to win a game. Even the Nationals are 3 for 4. The Nationals!
As if this dismal start isn't bad enough, only 9,129 people showed up for Monday night's game. That's a record low at Camden Yards. Ouch.
Hey Peter Angelos, maybe now's a really horrible time to charge that extra $1 to $5 for people who walk up and buy tickets on the day of a game.
So, yeah, it's going to be a long season. And it's only April.

We usually don't start talking like this until post-All Star break. This really is going to be a long season.
No kidding. Sure, the Orioles have opened with horrible records before, but have fans reached their breaking point after 12 consecutive losing seasons?
Really, I thought they would officially start sucking as of the end of April. But even I am surprised by the alacrity and efficiency of their suck. I actually reached my breaking point a few seasons ago, but at least it was reparable.
Well, at least getting tickets will be easy, right?
As long as you don't try to buy tickets on the day of a game. They'll charge you an extra $1 to $5 for that "privilege".
