I don't even think we deserve to make the playoffs...but we will.

Cole's most helpful appearance since June.

You would think the Orioles would make the playoffs for prides sake, if for no other reason.  But they sure show no  indication that they have any interest in Oct. baseball.

It's not how you get in - it's how you play once you are in!!! Crap, that didn't make me feel any better.

You go, you big beautiful elephant.

It felt to me there today like SIGBOT was certain of its odds, and Albert Suarez is obligated to pitch until it is 3 home runs and you're out on Home Run Derby.

If Orioles pitchers are deployed like they were today in actual championship competition, I may have to reconsider contributing to one of those Fire somebody threads.

Well the Royals and Twins don’t deserve it either.  The Royals losing 7 straight.

Twins lost. 

O’s win or Twins lose on Tuesday and O’s are in.

I think you are right but media isn’t saying that. 

[Chelsea_Phil]

We are a joke of a team for the last few months.

It is still 2.  An Orioles win would gave us 87 wins which the Twins could get too.  Then it comes down to tie breakers we have that over them in head to head however if it goes to a 3 way tie with them and the Tigers we would be the one left out.  If it is 3 way tie with the Royals and Twins the Royals are left out.  If it is a 4 way tie the Royals are out again.  So if we win tomorrow and the Twins win out the Tigers have to go 5-1 and Royals go have to go 6-0 we would still be out any other way it is 2.

Yeah. I think it’s because BAL would be out in 3 way tie with MIN and DET.  
 

My gosh. You just said that.
