The Sun's 2011 Orioles report card

The Orioles spent the final weeks of the 2011 season making life tough on the wild-card contenders in the American League, which ranks as a small consolation prize after they spent the rest of the year making life tough on themselves and their fans. So, at the very last minute, because they put an apple on our desk, we're changing the team's final grade from an F to a D-. It's hard to cut them much more slack with the fourth-worst record of the 30 major league clubs.
