Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

[MDK02]

Even if we make it, will anyone actually be excited? I know I won’t be. I’d fully expect another sweep.

We've made the playoffs once in the past nine years (I don't count 2016) and three times in the past 27 years.......so yea. 

I actually like our chances better in a three-game series than a five-gamer, so that is the only solace I take in not winning the division.

I voted no but more like hope not. Given the current level of play the playoffs would be embarrassing.

Worse than a 101 win club getting swept by a 90 win team?

That’s dumb. Embarrassed in front of whom? If you’re an O’s fan, you’ve endured plenty of embarrassment. Losing a playoff series wouldn’t even make a mark. If you’re rooting for the O’s to not make the playoffs, head on over to Yankees Hangout.

That's absurd.  Not making the playoffs after a 99+% chance of doing so would be far more embarrassing than going 0-2 in said playoffs - which isn't guaranteed to happen anyway.

I was at the game last night and the only time I got excited was Kjerstad was announced. I thought he should have got a standing ovation. Instead they played "I can see clearly now" which I thought was rude. Then he had what seemed like the hardest hit ball of the night!

Anyway, I passed on playoff tickets today. Maybe I'll change my mind the night before.

You know the players pick which songs play when they come up to bat at OPACY, right?

I guess I did to some degree but didn't realize it for that AB.

It's pretty funny sometimes. I remember Miguel Tejada had "As Good As I Once Was" in his second go around. Also, I think I remember Kevin Millar when he was struggling had "Cold As Ice".

Yes they will make the playoffs (stupid question) and be the top WC.

Playoffs are a brand new season.  It doesn’t matter if you back your way in or win 110 games even is on equal foot again and you just have to win 1 more game then the other team in a 3, 5, or 7 game series.  The 1 team I wanted to face last year in the playoffs as I thought they were the weakest link won the whole thing.
