I think that's the main point. The Orioles have a flicker of hope, therefore are capable of disappointment.
The Rays, Royals and Pirates know they're not going to do anything on April 1st. O's fans think that they might win the wildcard if everything goes right, but instead every year is Groundhog Day and you wake up in October and they had 72 wins and any number of horribly embarrassing incidents yet again.
