The Orioles and the Ravens made us feel bad this weekend. Let's deal with it by ranking how bad each bad thing felt.

The Orioles’ plans have worked out so often this year. They didn’t in several ways on Sunday.

The story of Rodriquez's season has been learning to pitch against top talent, and he found success by throwing fastballs for strikes to set up his secondary pitches. But he wasn't accurate enough Sunday, and his plan fell apart.
