Look, I've tried the game you're playing here in calling out negative posters, and you're not wrong to call me out here.  But if you're watching and don't feel the despair most of the rest of us are feeling, I don't know what to tell you, other than congrats on your eternal optimism.  By all means call me out over and over when we win this game, I can handle it, but at this point, these posts are just helping me process the negative emotion of the season's impending closure.  I despise the non-baseball months, and they are imminent, to say the least.

As much as you dislike my call out, I dislike your pessimism. I swear, this place can be worse than the SOSH sometimes.

And look at what the Tigers just did to the Astros. Is there any doubt things would have went differently? 

At least the Astros have recent championships. One by cheating but it still counts

Look dude. This season was a major collapse. But happy for your optimism

Sam Horn could actually hit for the Orioles.

Serious question: would you rather we miss the playoffs or make the playoffs and lay a complete egg?

It's not optimism. I'm a devoted fan, and games aren't over after 3 innings. That's it.

LOL this is an unhinged post but I love it for some reason.

Yeah its unhinged.  I am very negative now.  This team is just fading away with a whimper and it hurts my soul.

I remember when an Ibanez beat the Orioles, too.

I was at that game in the Bronx bleachers, in shock. Two homers by Ibanez: one off 51-Saves Jim Johnson in the bottom of the 9th to send it into extra innings and then one in the 12th off Brian Matusz, who was perfectly matched up against him and hadn't allowed a HR all season. After Miguel González had heroically allowed only one run in 7 innings against a fearsome Yankees lineup.

I'd ask somebody to bring a trash can into the O's dugout so they could hit one.

But that would require them to know how to hit.

DC is warming. Eflin isn’t facing Massey if Garcia gets on.

Make the playoffs.

This makes what Burnes did yesterday even more impressive. Efflin is about done.

[O's84]

Come on Eflin, keep it right here.

O’s haven’t hit for 3 months. And that has continued in the playoffs. We are devoted fans

Maybe Povich after DC?
