2015 A.L. East Standings

The final line of Roch's latest blog...

I'll close this entry by mentioning that the Orioles are only two games out of first place in the American League East and they have the same number of losses (22) as the two teams ahead of them. Again, if you keep track of those things

This team had issues early last season. Schoop wasn't hitting and I recall, several wanted him sent to Norfolk to work on his hitting.

Lots of games left to play and they are still very much in it.

That is most definitely the silver lining in a rough start......one 4-5 game winning streak and we could easily be right in first place.

The opportunity is in front of us as we play Tampa over the weekend.

In the last 10 games, we are 5-5, the only AL East team without a losing record in that span.

I agree with this, unfortunately though, 4 other teams not are saying the same thing right now too. I think we're about to make a nice run though.

This is very encouraging. Didn't we start to get on a roll after Memorial Day last year? I think now's the time to start running away with this division.

Man, we're fortunate that Seager worked on his night moves or we'd be running against the wind. Still 2 games back.

Edit: I guess 2.5 against NYY.

It came later than that.

We started out 35-34 after 69 games last year.

Then, from June 17th through September 17th, we went 57-26 to stomp our way through the division before cruising in the final 10 games of the season.

I just can't believe, with how bad it has been, that we are only 2.5 games out of the division lead.

I love this division. Koji just blew it in the 9th, an intentional walk to Prince followed by a 2 run double by Josh Hamilton. Right after that the Yanks lost. Makes the day a little better.

The Athletics might have swept all 4 games from the Yankees if not for their atrocious defense on Saturday night.

I hope that when we play them (Oakland), they gift-wrap at least one win for us, as well.

I went to bad last night the A's were up 3-1. I'll still take 3-4 losses.

I am watching a show on CSNNE about the Red Sox. I have the sports pack on Directv and sometimes like to hear about other teams in our division. They are basically saying how the Sox are bad at everything right now. Lou Merloni wondering if the division being so bad if that is leading to their complacency.

[Aristotelian]

I'll take it too, but the only thing that gets my goat as much as watching the Orioles lose is watching an opposing team give the Yankees a game that they had in the bag.

Normally I would agree, but it's getting old seeing the Yankees lose and failing to make up ground. Seems like a massive opportunity passing us by. As bad as the division has been, we should be up 3 or 4 instead of down 2.
