That was great baseball.

I don’t like losing and I certainly won’t like losing Bradish for any length of time (I refuse to say it’s for the whole season until they say so).  But that game was a ton of fun.  The performance by

2 great games so far.

Lame that the MFY and Red Sux are the 2 national games this weekend.

I actual prefer a one o’clock game Sunday. We get the extra rest. The Yankees will be playing and then hopping in their beds around 2 AM.

If we finish with the same record as the Phillies, and face them in the World Series, we will have home field for games 1, 2, 6, and 7 because today's game won the head to head regular season battle with them.

And we'd go into that series knowing we can hit their best starter, too.

Have been out of town in AZ all weekend so havnt been able to watch.  I followed on game thread and game day and it seemed like a heck of a series.  Go Birds!! Bring on the Yankees.  I think we sweep.

Epic series, playoff atmosphere. Nice to dunk on the Red Sox of the NL and their dumb broadcasters.

Genuinely curious: why are they dumb? Wasn’t listening to them so don’t know.

Don't make me DirtyBird you! They have good announcers!

They literally said the only reason it was sold out was because there were more Phillies fans then Orioles fans. Completely false.

You're probably right, but Phillies fans did contribute to that quite a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more Phillies fans.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.

      I need to be a better fan

      Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
