They did it! They did it! The Baltimore Orioles are in the playoffs

It's like cocaine, the more you get, the more you want.

This is awesome news. I love that we didn't back in either, we swept the Red Sox to be in this position tonight (among many other great moments).

I was watching the gamecast on ESPN and saw the Rangers win. I came on here to post. I am super excited and then it really became real when I got the ESPN and MASN text on the phone, saying first playoff berth since 1997. Then I just lost it and the tears came...never thought that would happen. What a great season and a great group of people to share it with!!!!!!!!!!!!

Un. Real.

We suffered and suffered which makes this all the sweeter

Way to go Orioles! What a magical season.

Too bad the Angels didn't lose their first game when Camden Yards was full, but better late than never. The O's are in! Once again the Orioles are a classy, playoff team.

Now let's win the division, force the Yankees into a one game playoff game against the Athletics, which the Yankees lose!

While the moment has been ever so slightly dampened by the events earlier in the day, and not being able to experience it in front of the team and the fans at Camden Yards, I'm not lying to you when I say I've had to fight back tears for the last five minutes. As soon as the last out appeared on Game Day, I started losing it. Laughing out of shock, disbelief, elation, and happiness, and holding down some extremely proud emotions. In all these years, I never became one of those types who said the Orioles would never make the playoffs again. However, I definitely had become someone who asked myself when I would see it again. Well, I'm going to see it again, and so will all of you. The Orioles have given us so much this year, and the most amazing thing is, there's still so much more to go. We know it, and most importantly, they know it, and believe it. I, like all of you, look forward to taking the next step in this magical ride known as the 2012 season. But, for now:

WE'RE BACK!!!!!!!

Now go get the division.

[Palmoripken]

This is just an amazing feeling. So much has happened in the past fifteen years. I go from watching players that are now in the Hall of Fame and now get to watch guys like Manny Machado and Dylan Bundy who were born when I was in kindergarten.

Thinking about my dad who passed away in 2008. We didn't share much in common except our love for baseball and God, he'd be so happy right now.

Yea, I'm bawling like a baby.

I said before the season started we would lose 100 games. I love being wrong.

Ain't the beer cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
