Most Challenging Stretch of the Year

[Aristotelian]

I will take 5-5, what say you?

6-4 or better during this stretch would be very good. 4-6 would be disappointing. 3-7 would be alarming. 1-9 or 0-10 would be a disaster.

Currently 3-4 with three games left. 5-5 is within reach but Toronto owned us in the last series and has closed to 2 games back. Looks like disaster has been avoided but a Toronto sweep would be extremely unpleasant to say the least.

The pitching match ups with TOR are better for us this time. No sweep IMO.

And despite TOR "owning," the Orioles in a four game series - the Orioles were very close to winning two of those three losses.

Fro the want of a couple inches on a Pedro Alvarez flyball was all that separated the team from a remarkable comeback.

Sweep Toronto! 2 out of 3 would be good, sweep would send a great message

Sweep would be outstanding. But, realistically, hoping for 2 out of 3 is more within reach.

You win more series than you lose, and you will be fine at Playoff time.

For sure; 2 of 3 is job well done. I would just love to sweep that team because they irritate me. My hate for the blue jays and their amateur shenanigans is strong

I agree, I dislike them more than the Stankees right now, but as good a team and how hard they played us, last time.

A sweep is such a long shot.

You got to win the first one.

Avoided the sweep. 4-5 on the trip. 5-5 sure would be nice and we have Tillman going tomorrow.

There we have it 5-5 on this, the toughest 10 game stretch thus far. Still in first place, 12 games over 500.

Six inches away from being 6-4. Aside from a couple stinkers you have to be happy with the results.

Seems like every time this team has a big test, they pass it.

Not bad for mediocrity.

To add to this, we talked about the KC and Texas piece making up a tough 14 game stretch where we'd be lucky to go 7-7. Well, we're 8-5 heading to Texas.

I think that this team will really pickup some breathing room when our schedule softens up and Toronto and Boston's schedules get harder.

That is the thing. The Orioles need to do their part and take care of business against SD and TB.

Yeah, I'll take back what I said about Texas. They have caught fire now that they've started to hit. Should be an addendum to the stretch.
