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

You do realize this thread is pointless, right?

Anyone hear that fat lady singing?

I remember my parents and I were at an Ethiopian restaurant in DC when they won the title. I have hazy memories of the whole restaurant watching and cheering the TV at the bar. After that I became a Bullets super fan for the next decade or so. Bad timing on my part.

So when we slip into last place here in a couple games, can we finally lock this thread?

When the Orioles have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, perhaps the mods will lock the thread.

Currently, they are in 3rd place in the division.

Only 4.5 out now.

Only 4.5 out now.

Really, still it's a pipe dream. With only one more loss, I will feel out of it.

If we can survive the road trip with only two losses, the last week will at least be interesting.

I'm sure once we are mathematically eliminated we can close this down and you can rest easy.

All I can really ask at this point, with the current situation, is that we get over .500 and we make it interesting down the stretch.

The Astros' big comeback tonight (9/19) may have been the final nail in the coffin. Would've been nice to be 3.5 back, but now we're 4.5 back again with 14 to play. I hear the Fat Lady belting out her first few notes tonight...

About a week ago, I said that if we got some help, it would take 85 to win. And we have gotten a bit of help.

And as of the start of the Red Sox series, two win 85, we had to win every series with two of them being sweeps.

So as long as "win every series with two of them being sweeps" is still on the table...I won't throw in the towel. We won the Boston series and can win the Tampa series today. So...
