Good deal OFF! I was wondering if there'd be a "the other game" thread. Still got 4 hours to kill.

It's "Oriole-related," since we're still in the playoffs, and we could eventually meet.

As long as we stay in it, I believe that all other postseason games in both the A.L. and the N.L. are Orioles-related.

*knocks wood* I'd rather face the Nats than ST. L or ATL or ANY other NL club.

[Palmoripken]

That starter for the Braves is a shrimp. Good pitcher though.

[scOtt]

Bobby Cox in the stands in Atlanta.

[scOtt]

I don't think this one's coming back!

[Palmoripken]

2-0 Braves. Crazy Ross hits a home run after striking out but being granted time.

Scott, if we make it all the way to the World Series, I wouldn't care if they cloned Dizzy Dean and the 1934 Cardinals as our opponent.

Right now, it's all about surviving tonight, and if we do, surviving the next playoff series, and then the one after that.

Is why I literally and cyberly knocked wood. I'm not looking past Yu's very first pitch. I'll marvel on a long playoff run... and be happy for this year like a week or a month ago.

[scOtt]

This is cool! Great runner on first, good holding pitcher, Yadier behind the plate. Drama.

[scOtt]

Good point by the color man (idk) in this one game play-in format. It's all holds barred. Anything goes. Army baseball.

[scOtt]

Except that we need to DESTROY Atlanta in the WS... It would be cool to see Chipper win another Championship in his final year.

[BmoreMatt]

That catch at the wall was filthy!

[BmoreMatt]

Good game so far.
