If anyone posts a certain first baseman, I say they should be banned.

The Orioles are now 10.5 games in front of a playoff spot, right?

Technically at the moment.

But Seattle is up 3-1 in the 9th.   As soon as they get 3 more outs and don't allow 2 runs, it will be back to 10.

Earl used to say that once he got to 30 over .500 that was when he knew he had a great team.   We're getting close....

On track to be the O's first 100 win team since 1980.  I was sure that the O's had won 100 games in 1983, nope, was only 98.

100 is really cool. I’d sign for 98 in blood. If we went 26-26 the rest of the way we’d win 96 which you gotta think wins the division.

The 1983 Orioles had two 7 game losing streaks that season otherwise they would’ve won 100 games. One of the losing streaks coincided with an Eddie Murray injury.

There’s only 50 games left so 26-26 would be quite a feat!

My math can sometimes be a bit off. Let’s say…

25-25 for 95 wins!

Tied the Braves today for the most wins in MLB! (though we've played three more games)

I think that given the way the Orioles are playing right now, and the somewhat soft schedule left, they can do better than .500. The chance of getting to 100 is real, which would be something else.

I guess Rooney didn't know much about baseball. Or anything else.

O's won 100 and missed the playoffs because the Yankees won 102.
