vs. RAYS, 8/25

[El Gordo]

Damn Yankees. Well at least TOR is losing.

[allquixotic]

You know, there was a time not long ago that I would be saying, we are starved for runs, we need at least 8 or 9 more, in the 7th inning with a 9-1 lead.

Sometime in, oh, 2010 or so, against the Yankees, I'd have ZERO confidence that we could hold an eight run lead.

Tonight I'm just enjoying it.

Looks like DOD will get some work.

Of last 14 games of the year, 11 are against Yankees and Jays.

Take away the error and this is the best all around game the Orioles have played this year. At least so far.

I don't know; I like the 8-0 win at New York when the Yankees honored their legends. But this is excellent.

He and Britton need it.

Damn Yankees. Well at least TOR is losing.

The Yankees will be playing the Blue Jays shortly. I think that will be an information series for the Orioles (or more accurately, Orioles fans, since the players probably won't care), as to which team is the "real" second place team in the East. It may not be decisive, but if there's a sweep one way or another, it'll color our head to head games for the rest of the season.

I'm betting the Yankees will out-challenge the Blue Jays in those games and get the better of 'em, 2-1. Yanks are indeed looking to be the true threat, despite it flipping back and forth all season.

EDIT: The Yanks also go against the Blue Jays for four games starting on September 19. That'll be one heck of a contentious atmosphere if both teams remain in the race for the next 3 weeks.

Be nice for Chris to get another hard hit. Even a hard out wouldn't be bad.

I didn't realize that.

Chris working on equalizing his OBP and OPS.

Shields sucks. Really. And, of course, the Royals who have been beating everyone just roll over for the Yankees. Hope the Tigers catch them if they get swept by the MFYs.

Its a 1 game rainout makeup so it will be a "sweep".

I remember in June(?) when we wondered if the Jays would EVER lose again.
