Well, I didn't think the Orioles post-All Star break could get any worse...pitchers hit by batted balls on consecutive days, starting pitchers not lasting past the 5th inning, suffering a 4-game sweep to the ChiSox (in Baltimore), and now Raffy goes from icon to every sports journalists' doormat (and probably with good reason).
I hate being an Orioles fan. And I still blame Jeffrey Mayer for all of this, and for making Jeter seem better than he really is. The O's collapse was inevitable, but the could've at least made the stretch run a little more interesting than the usual NYY-BoSox love-in. Their only hope now is a mid-season transfer to the NL West and maybe seeing if Eric Byrnes can pitch.
To hell with the O's. I'm pulling for an Oakland-Houston World Series (and for the ChiSox to get swept in the ALCS).
