Orioles vs. Rangers

The Orioles' struggle earns them a mark in fourth place, and close to last.

Orioles vs. Rangers
Game 1 LOST 3-5
Game 2 LOST 1-4
Game 3 LOST 3-4
Game 4 LOST 0-6

CURRENT RECORD: 63-68 (Fourth, but almost last place)

The Orioles have lost 11 out of the last 12 games. I am disappointed in how they've been doing since the last few years have show relative hope and promise. The Orioles I guess aren't hitting very much and has shown over these last few games. I hope the best for them in the remaining bit of the season to raise their record to at least third place, but that doesn't look promising considering they're playing the Rays (the team that's currently in third place in the AL East) and that series isn't looking good either. It's even worse that they're playing the yankees next.

On a brighter note...

Today (September 1st) marks the 20th anniversary of when Cal Ripken Jr. played his 2,131st consecutive game.

INJURY UPDATES: 
Miguel Gonzalez due back any day with a right shoulder injury

WHERE ARE THEY NOW:
Jake Arrieta, former Oriole now with the Cubs hit a no-hitter against the Dodgers (who argue against the Cubs' case and claim it wasn't one...)




To be honest the Orioles are probably tired at this point, so even the best of the players are tired out from playing over and over again so I'll give them credit. This year has been hard, due to loosing key players who usually provided support offensively and defensively on alternating days. As of now, everyone isn't the same because they can't rely on those certain players to help them win games. Better luck, next year you guys.
