Who are we rooting for tonight?

[isestrex]

I'll be updating this thread as each new series begins from now until the end of the season (or until the Orioles are eliminated). At this point, we're not just fans of the Baltimore Orioles but fans of a handful of other teams as they battle our competitors.

CLEVELAND INDIANS vs A's

-The Indians just finished taking 2 of 3 from the Yanks so they're playing good ball. This is a 4 games series and the A's are back to full rotation strength despite losing Colon. Hopefully they can split the series. Go Tribe!

TORONTO BLUE JAYS @ Yankees

This isn't going to be easy. Bautista is back on the DL and their offense is back to looking pathetic. This easy matchup is exactly what the Yanks want in the midst of their mini slump. Hopefully the Jays can shock us all and take 2 of 3.

TEXAS RANGERS vs Rays

The Rangers are hot and hopefully the remain so against the best pitching staff in the league. I would love to feel confident that the Rangers are the superior team but you can never feel confident against the Rays. Here's hoping Hamilton and Cruz get super hot this week.

Detroit has an off day.

Detroit at KC

I feel like I'm rooting for the Indians every day.

Actually the Tribe lost 2 of 3 to the Yanks.. All the games were close though.

It's like that.

You are. At this point we have to root for all the bad teams in the AL, because all the good teams in the AL are the Orioles' competition. (Except the Rangers, who seem to have the AL West locked up and aren't competing with the O's for a playoff spot.)

It's like that.

As much as I love that movie and the ending, I always hated the slide at the end. I mean, the way he slid looks like he's trying to slide away from the plate and just nick it with his toe.

It was for dramatic effect.

I know that. But as a baseball fan I hate the way it looks.

Rooting for LA tonight even though they're closer to us than Boston. Others?

Agreed! Out of all of the teams in contention, Baltimore has the most control of their future.

Also, I will continue too root for Boston to suck. And the Yankees. And Tampa. And LAA. And Oakland.

[Big#3fan]

O's first and foremost. Jay and Rangers after that. I do not want a WC. I want to take the East. Prove all the doubters wrong. And piss of Yankee fans

[Jagwar]

Just keep winning series, and we shouldn't have to root for anybody else.
