And now, since it's June and the baseball season is making the turn into the meat of the season, it's time for that wildly popular Blob feature, The Cruddy Baseball Report, which I just made up on account of I can do that.
("Oh, wonderful," you're saying, rolling your eyes).
In this installment, we take a peek at what the gold standard for Cruddy Baseball is doing, and you'll be surprised to know the Baltimore Orioles are not playing the cruddiest baseball out there. OK, so they're 19-41 and already are 19 1/2 games out of first in the AL East, but they do have a one-game winning streak going. Also, they're 4-6 in their last 10 games, which is pretty good for he O's, and they're only three games out of next-to-last so far.
Here's the kicker, though: At least they're not the Royals.
Who are also 19-41 here on June 5, and not playing nearly as "meh" baseball as the O's. The Royals have lost four in a row, and they're 2-8 in their last 10. They're also 21.5 games out of first in the AL Central already, and five-and-a-half games out of next-to-last.
So they got that not goin' for 'em.
Tune in later this summer to see if they can steal the Cruddy Baseball crown from the O's.
