Over the last couple of days I think this can very well describe the Orioles.
The Good:
The Orioles ventured to the west coast to play the San Diego Padres. When they got there the Padres had the best won/lost record in the National League. Then after the first game, the first under their new manager (listed presently as interim) which they lost in the same fashion as the previous 8, they turned around to win the next two.
Whether this was just a high point or a changing point, we’ll just have to wait and see.
The Bad:
After interviewing their first and at the time only candidate to be the next non-interim manager of the team, they offered the job to Joe Girardi. Apparently it looked as if he was going to accept. But then he announced it wasn’t the right time .
The Ugly:
On Wednesday Miguel Tejada gets hit on the wrist by a pitch. He starts the next game, but after a poor at-bat in the first inning, it’s decided that he’s not able to play. He will probably be placed on the disabled list, ending his game streak and losing one of their best hitters for at least 2 weeks. Our disabled list is starting to look like a better team then the one that takes the field.
The crystal ball is a mucky as it’s even been on this team. I won’t be surprised about any thing that happens in the next two weeks. And I doubt if any one could make an accurate prediction.
