The Withering Sighs of Meaningful Baseball.

While that was a frustrating series in many (many) ways, it was maybe not as bad as it seemed. The series loss to the Orioles didn't dent the lead in the standings I would've liked, but looking at the actual numbers that were flashed on screen- hits, runs, homers, various pitching number- the two teams are virtually tied in the season series. Other than the first game, the pitching was great. Two out hits were in abundance in the second game. The Orioles looked okay, but not out of this world. The Colby Rasmus ground rule double that bounced over the wall last night was probably the key moment that made this a series loss rather than a series win. And that's just luck, something the Orioles have buckets of. 

This team just isn't firing on all cylinders like they did earlier in the season. And I'm pretty much exhausted trying to stay positive (or at least, logical) in the face of the frothing masses. 

I've also been attempting to Internet date (which is a whole other story) and Match.com has an option to add your favourite MLB team to your profile. It's a Match/MLB cross promotion so fans of the same teams can have sex with each other, until it becomes awkward and one decides the other needs to die alone. 

See if you can spot the problem: 

I mean, really? There is even a space there.
