Well, has to be close the earliest playoff elimination (already done) ever!!

Earliest elimination since division play started in 1969.

You know, the next article that starts with the phrase “the lowly Orioles”, then I am done reading.   How many articles did ESPN or othe pro Boston media write about “the lowly Red Sox” when we kicked their butt and they finished 25 games behind us and dead last in 2014?  That would be zero.   Just write “last place Orioles”  and move on and keep the “lowly” to yourself.

I like how everyone pretends they are always good and are somehow equivalent to the Yankees.  When the Yankees were bad and sold off they won 80 something games.  The Red Sox finished last.

I think it is an attitude....”Lowly”  is similar to garbage, scum, dirtbag...it is an epithet, not just a description of the position of the team.   That is why they feel free to use it towards us and not Boston or NY teams.

That's especially awesome considering two out of those three teams were first year expansion teams.

We’re a little beyond “last place.”    “Lowly” works well for a team playing .300 baseball.
