After the O's lost their 15th straight yesterday, I heard this bit of trivia. The Orioles are the first team to have at least 2, 14 game losing streaks in one season since the 1935 Boston Braves, who had Babe Ruth in his final season. Prior to that, the only team with at least 2, 14 game losing streaks was the 1911 Braves, whose roster included Cy Young. Since it's unlikely that I'll ever go to a bar again, I must use this knowledge here!
But mathematically, they're still in it!
