I don’t care how bad we suck, I still love beating the Yankees

You mean Manny fought back,

I had zero doubts that he was about to tie the game at 5 when Green went 3-1 on him. Just scorching hot right now.

Even this crappy half-team can beat the Yankees sometimes.     And I love it.

The O's have had a bigger role than just about anyone in keeping the Yankees in second place. Their fans must be beside themselves.

I love it. Even with Mike Wright.

Nice to refresh this thread one last time.    Meaningless game but I’ll always take a win at Yankee Stadium.

It wasn't meaningless to the Yankees ........ the Athletics are trying for their 5th consecutive win this afternoon, which would bring them withing 1/2 of a game of the Yankees for home-field advantage for the Wildcard game. )

Yes, good point.   Let’s hope they lose the top wild card spot by one game.

I'm sure they would love a cross country flight or two.

It does drive all Y fans, announcers, writers crazy. I've noticed that more recently they've gone into a state of denial. A NYTimes article yesterday (or this morning?) devoted every sentence to detailing how bad the Orioles are--without ever mentioning the Yankee's poor record against them.

The O’s are so bad that it’s considered embarrassing to go 12-7 (.632) against them.

Haha, well, let's put it this way: the O's are .368 vs. the Ys and .279 against the rest of the major leagues. What is even better Schadenfreude though is their record *in* NY. Remember O's: If you can do it there, you can do it everywhere!
