On June 1, the Orioles lost 5-0 on the road against Tampa Bay. They trailed 5-0 in the first inning and never got on the board as they lost for the ninth time in an 11-game stretch.
There was, for some fans, a feeling of impending doom and that the other shoe had, in fact, dropped at that point. Some fans said, "It's been fun, but they're done now."
It was looking like an 11-game stretch of losing could turn into a 20-, 30-, 50- or even an 80-game run of futility.
That could still...
