And they started so strong! They were flying so high, these birds were. I know I was not the only one feeling the magic in the air as the wins added up through April and May. Then slowly, and painfully, the Baltimore Orioles got grounded --by injuries and by poor pitching. Oh yeah, and by the Boston Red Sox.
And now they find themselves limping their way to the All-Star break, last night's ignominious 9 - 3 defeat at the hands of the surging Indians a fitting cap to their first losing month of the season. As the half-way mark approaches, big questions still surround this team's immediate future as they search for ways to take to the air once again.
