They will be lucky to take 1 game of this series. The Orioles do not have the pitching to hold down the Sox bats.
We will be lucky to win one game. Red Sox could blow this division apart by weekend. We're a team in big trouble.

Well, there's our one "lucky" win. I don't like our odds tonight, but we've avoided mathematical elimination before the weekend. ;)

Have to admit it was a lucky win, though, right? If Chris Young isn't in CF those two balls are outs. Bradley Jr would have made those plays easily. We got some luck from the Pedroia error too. They scored 13 runs with what, 4 XBH and 2 courtesy of Chris Young being terrible. Its true, though. Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. :)

Back-to-back lucky wins.

How about the first series that we won, I suppose that was lucky too :)

Big split for the O's. Obviously would love to be in 1st right now, but an even split against a very good team with Ubaldo and Wright pitching, that is a pretty fantastic outcome.

You usually don't call a split at home a success, but I agree with this one. Well done.

Feel free to come by and eat some crow any time, boys.

Glad they won two games. I guess I wasn't wrong about one part of my post. They do not have the pitching to hold down the Sox bats. The Sox have even less pitching, so there is that I guess.

Get well soon my friend.

Thanks man! It's extremely difficult but as I said, every bit of encouragement counts! I know it's just a saying, but when your really really in a bad state... well only then do you realize how true it is.

Put the kool-aid down. I think I've watched enough baseball over the years to know mediocrity when I see it. Looks like a team fast heading south unfortunately. The Sawx will have this division wrapped up within two weeks.

I guess you need to watch less baseball...O's back in first place.

    • That 2016 team wasn't the same for me as 2012 and 2014.  They basically played .500 ball over the second half, and in fact had losing months in July and August. Going 7-2 in the last 9 games gave them a winning September, but that year was kind of similar to this one in that it was a slog for a very long period of time and we never really had the magic of 2012 or 2014. And their offensive approach in the Toronto WC game was so horrible that I think they could have brought in Britton and every great reliever in the league and they still were never scoring again in that game.  After Stroman left, they went 5 innings with no hits, one walk, and six strikeouts.  
    • Fire Hyde.  Put all the guys on steroids.  Tell Holliday he is going to be our center fielder because he sucks so much at second.   Trade Mayo because he can not ever be allowed to field again.  Make Gunnar our firstbase because he cant throw to first to save his life and often makes horrible fielding errors.   Prepare the fans that the Orioles will be the Toronto Blue Jays next year.  A wonderful young team that couldn't do anything and ended up sucking.  
    • 18 straight is crazy and I had no idea Minnesota had that streak going.  Baseball is a silly sport.  And cruel.
    • 1. TOR SP 2. SP depth 3. Add someone with high K% and low HR rate to the BP 4. Righty bat that destroys lefties 5. bring the damn left field wall back in a bit as part of offseason renovations 
    • I think you are confusing 1969 and 1979.
    • Zero chance anything like that has anything to do with the product on the field IMO.  Especially in baseball, which is inherently more a collection of individual performances than a true team sport.  I don’t think clubhouse culture matters at all in baseball except insofar as if gone wrong it might lead to disregard for fundamentals or disruptive off field behavior like excessive drinking or drug use.
    • 2016 Toronto loss for me. I honestly think we had a real shot that year had we advanced. Maybe the Cubs would’ve been too much, but I felt we matched up well with Texas and Cleveland. The Jays were our rival all year. Plus, the feeling that the loss was the beginning of the end for that era.
