With the arrival of May, my expectations for the Orioles soared.
My hopes have been dashed now that May has actually arrived and the Orioles look the same as they did during April and last September.

For the first 8 innings of the game they scored 2 runs on 5 hits. During the 9th inning, they scored 5 runs on 5 hits.
It is hard to win games attempting late inning comebacks when down by 7 runs.
The night before, they managed to tie the game in the 9th at 2-2, only to see the bullpen surrender the walk-off run in the bottom of the 9th.
New and creative ways to lose ballgames.
The operative word here is lose.
And there does not seem much hope for the future. The team batting average is .221 which is 15th among the 15v AL teams. The team ERA is 4.84 which is 12th among the 15 AL teams.
The outlook for the Orioles is gloomy!
