O's offensive woes continue

The Orioles had a lot in common with the weather on Monday night...

It was cold. It was windy. It was wet. Overall, it was just horrible...

And the O's weren't much better, falling to the Seattle Mariners 5-1.

At least I got my Brian Matusz T-shirt...

The Birds just can't seem to get on track. The offense is non-existent. The team has now scored a total of two runs in the last three games. I'm almost getting tired of writing this, but the O's aren't going to win many games if they can't get something going at the plate...

It's just getting ridiculous. Dave Trembley keeps switching around lineups, hoping to find one that works, but nothing has...maybe Trembley should just stick with one lineup for a series? I don't know...nothing seems to be going right these days.

Starter David Hernandez (0-5) took the loss, though he was nearly perfect through the first four innings. After giving up a lead-off home run to start the fifth, Hernandez slowly unraveled, and was charged with five runs (four earned) over six innings. He struck out four, but the four walks he surrendered (along with the five hits) ended his night early.

Although both the weather and the team didn't get any better as the game moved on, at least our seats did...after watching from the upper deck for the first two innings, we moved down to the first row on the third base side for the remainder of the game.

But it was still cold.

And wet.

And no matter where you were sitting in the stadium, it was yet another Orioles loss...
