You do realize that We are officially out of the Wild Card

O's might win 7 games this month

That's it?.. plus September call-ups, I like our chances.

Not sure, but I think all the other teams are allowed call-ups as well.

[Nevermore]

No, but even if they went 6-6 the would be 0.5 games out instead of 5.5.

This offense would never be this bad if Cruz was here.

As much as I love Cruz, I don't think that even Cruz could save this offense.

[BMann]

4-32 would be a step up from this latest stretch of .091 baseball... ?

[Going Underground]

We just have to take game 1 against TB. I still think we will get a boost when rosters expand. We just have to beat Archer tonight.

The Orioles are six games out in the loss column for the second wild card. They are also six games from tying the worst record in the AL in the loss column.

[RandyMilligan]

Seems like the O's have completely punted. This last stretch has been abysmal. 3 runs or fewer 11 of last 12 games.

[Roll Tide]

Cruz is worth 5 wins every 12 games. That makes him roughly a 65 win player.

Impressive.

I get the sarcasm.... but Cruz carried the offense several times last year.

With the exception of Paredes early the Os don't have that type of player this year.

I completely agree. All I care about is winning a World Series. Hell, even appearing in one (as 24 other franchises have done since we last did) would be nice. Budgets, other than my own, mean nothing to me. I don't care if the Os have a $300 million budget or a $30 million budget....just get to the playoffs and win the last game of the World Series once you are there. The FO of course has to care about the budget because they are controlled by rich folks who pretend to be poor. It is possible that they care about winning as much as fans do, but most of the time I doubt it. And after this offseason, I am not even sure the FO actually went to work this winter. I know there is no stat out there that measures the impact on team morale of just letting very popular, very good players leave and doing nothing to replace them; but if there was such a stat, it would clearly show the FO did a lot of damage this winter by doing absolutely nothing.

A lot of people agree with you. A lot of people only care about that one thing.

I don't care where we're at in the WC, beating the asses of the Blow Jays is the best.

Certainly helps if we win too.

In truth I just really want to ruin the Blue Jays. Ideally it'd be both of the Yanks and the Jays but I have to say I hate the Jays more. The Yanks have only 2, maybe 3 players I dislike. A-Rod, Teixeira, and Sabbathia. With the Blue Jays I can't stand most of their team.

Joe Girardi is the worst. Then Elsbury. Stephen (I'm holding out till June 1st) Drew, Garnder, Nova, and Tanaka. And I'll turn on Miller in a heart beat.

If you can do that, then the Orioles might want to find a way to get you on the roster so that you can pinch-hit when he's on the mound late in the game(s) on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
