Dark Comedy
If the Orioles were a televised phenomenon--and those outside Baltimore know they aren't--they would be a comedic satire.
This reality-based comedy has been running strong for 8 years now with no immediate plans for a finale.
In the latest episode, the Orioles' ace falls to 1-7 on the year, their flamethrowing stud is on the disabled list with a shoulder injury, their most consistent pitcher of a year ago has yet to win a game and their minor league stud who has just called up from the minors gets off the plane and is immediately struck with appendicitis.
You can't make this stuff up. This is gold.
One exasperated fan even predicted, "I wouldn't be surprised if Adam Loewen gets struck by a randomn falling anvil as he gets off the plane." --I wouldn't be surprised either.
