Would have been sweeter if the Jays had done their part and slagged the Yankees.

"Embarrassing" and "unacceptable"!

Shade of 2011.

I would love to see the history repeats itself.  2012 Orioles were magical after 2011 September.

That was a heluva nice catch!

Screw the #1 pick. I'd love to win this series against Boston and the series vs. the Jays. 3 wins in the last 5 games. Knock them BOTH out of the Wildcard.

 

 

It could happen...

Continuing with the schaudenfreude...some quotes from Sons of Sam Horn:

Quote

Do you remember that scene in "Saving Private Ryan" where the enemy soldier is fighting with Private Rieben, played by Ed Burns? The enemy soldier is on top of Rieben, slipping the bayonet into him, and saying "shh, shh," as if to say, "it's OK to stop fighting, you are dying, just go peacefully, time to sleep."

That's what is happening here.

Quote

Should've sold at the deadline.

Quote

I expect 1-2 wins the rest of the season, max.

This team is cooked.

Quote

Simply put, if they can't beat the Orioles in a must win game, then they shouldn't be in the playoffs in the first place. So in a way, this is a very liberating experience. They are free, and so are we. Free from our misery. It's time.

 

Quote

This team has quit on Cora.

 

Quote

The heart of a warrior!

thats what we need

Quote

Yes but do we eat it, sacrifice fly it or hope that everybody on this team suddenly develops it?

Quote

Post-game meal.

Have it delivered to Balmer ASAP along with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Would you rather...

• Lose out and get the #1 pick?
  • Or sweep the Red Sox, make them miss the playoffs and get the #2 pick?

Ask me before or after each game...

 

Before I'm voraciously rooting for the Orioles! ALWAYS want to win.

 

After... YAY! We lost! We're back in the "lead."
