Anyway, good win for the O's.  So that makes all divsional series going to 5 games, right?  Just wish I didn't have to wait til 8:30pm tomorrow to see the Cards-Nats game.  It's been kind of nice getting those games done early.

All games considered thus far, this has been the most entertaining playoffs I can remember.

WAHOOO!!!  And we will do this all over again tommorow.

I was completely wrong.  I thought after that kick in the nuts last night that the Orioles were going to need to blow the Yanks out in Game 4.  But they sure are a lot tougher than I am.  The entire line up is cold?  No worries with the O's bullpen around.

Yeah it has been crazy intense.  I haven't even thought about the Texas-OU game I have been so wrapped up in this series all week.

Yeah, but they had to switch them around today and tomorrow to take a trip to Oakland into consideration, since there's no travel day between the ALDS and the ALCS with this new format.  You win, you board a plane that night.

I think the edge goes to the Os for the bullpen, since they had already stacked with pitching coming into the series, but you know who is pitching for New York tomorrow, so the damage to the NY bullpen could be mitigated.

The O's gotta find some bats, though.

I support the Orioles because Joe Flacco told me to.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Well they did touch the Mountain That Pitches for two whole runs.  The way this series is going that is an offensive explosion. 

I just don't know.  Chris Davis and Adam Jones are seriously slumping and not looking like they are just going to come out of it tommorow.

I know.  Bill is going to be furious if I cause Texas to lose this game.

Yeah I quoted him this year in the NCAA thread.

If I were a big league manager, I'd stock my entire bullpen with nothing but submariners.  Love how that release unsettles hitters.

Submariners tend to struggle when the platoon advantage is against them, moreso than average

That may be all the Yankees need tonight.
