Monday Bird Droppings: It's getting embarrassing for the Orioles

Never have I been happier to see a weekend end. Not a fun series, not a fun homestand...come on, Orioles: help a guy out, here. We never win at anything anymore.

Orioles lose comforts of home and another game to Astros (with quotes) - School of Roch
Not a fun series for anyone. I mean...I guess the Astros enjoyed it, but...gah.

Ned Hanlon, the great innovator and manager of the original Orioles, was born on this day in 1857. Hanlon is buried in Baltimore and you could make a pretty good case that he's at least as deserving of a statue by OPACY as Babe Ruth. Hall of Fame executive Pat Gillick was born on this day in 1937. Ray of sunshine Steve Kline has a birthday today as does Randy Wolf.
