The worst year in Orioles history will be over in two days. Get ready to flip that calendar."Good morning Brad Boxberger Jersey , Camden Chatters.It’s New Year’s Eve Eve, which means we’re less than 48 hours from saying goodbye forever to 2018. For Orioles fans, that’s a long-awaited, welcome relief.Good riddance to a year that brought us the worst team in Orioles history. A team that was shockingly horrific in every aspect of the game. A team that reached new levels of embarrassment seemingly every night. A team that had to be dismantled in the middle of the season so at least some players could enjoy the taste of winning baseball somewhere else. For the rest of their lives, Orioles fans will give an involuntary shudder whenever someone mentions the year 2018 in any context.I, for one, won’t miss it.

Happy birthday! Your Orioles birthday buddies include 1996 righty Archie Corbin (51); 1981-82 first baseman Jose Morales (74); and 2006-07 righty Jim Hoey (36), whom the O’s dealt to the Twins for J.J. Hardy in one of the best trades in team history.It’s also the 41st birthday for righty Grant Balfour, the would-be closer the Orioles reached agreement with in 2014, only to scuttle the deal after seeing something concerning in the physical. Balfour and the national media ripped the O’s for backing out, but they turned out to be right; he had a 5.00 ERA for the rest of his career. A Major League Baseball player had to apologize to his manager for comments he made during a Fortnite live stream.Welcome to 2018.According to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, San Diego Padresutility manWil Myers could be heard criticizing manager Andy Green in the background of a since-deleted stream of minor league second baseman Carlos Asuaje playing Fortnite."The Padres are doing cutoff and relays tomorrow at 3 o'clock鈥攊n September, dude," Myers said in the background of the video. "Oh my god. It's so miserable Ketel Marte Jersey , man. It's insane. Andy could not be any worse than he is right now."Asuaje responded by saying, "Dude, I'm streaming this."Cassavell noted Myers met with Green and apologized Monday.Myers said:"I love Andy, and I love playing for him. He's a guy that has taught me a lot in this game. At times, you get into a mood where you get frustrated, no matter what's going on with a team or individually, and you say some things you shouldn't say in a conversation that you think's private. The reality is, now we're in 2018. ... I'm incredibly sorry, obviously to Andy, to my teammates http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-greinke-jersey , to the fans. This is a distraction we don't need."According toCassavell, Myers' critique came following a sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Green had the team undergo the defensive drills before a four-game set against the Colorado Rockies, and San Diego proceeded to split the series.Myers has appeared in 61 games this season and is slashing .254/.310/.462 with 10 home runs and 31 RBI. The numbers are a far cry from the career-best 30 home runs he drilled last year or the 28 long balls and 94 RBI he posted in 2016, although he's spent significant time on the disabled list this season.As for Green, this is his third season as San Diego's manager, and he's still searching for his first winning year. It's not going to happen in 2018 considering the Padres sit in last place in the National League West at 54-85.Myers better get ready because they may need plenty of defensive drills to turn things around next year.
