Hey CdM with 29 games to go the Orioles are just two games out of first place.

Do you think...this could happen?  :ph34r:

They've got the bats cooking.  Bullpen's got to stay stable.

Oh yeah, this happened today:

Michael Young: "Fuck you, KC"

(Also, the Rangers hit 80 Ws..it's pretty crazy how much things have changed starting like four years ago, prior to which getting to .500 was an awesome season and didn't happen all that much)

Looks like the Red Sox fire sale is official.  They dumped over $250 million in salaries (Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, Nick Punto) on the Dodgers for 2 top pitching prospects, 2 marginal position prospects and a decent MLB First Baseman with an expiring contract.  This is after the new owners of the Dodgers ridiculously overpaid ($2 billion) for the team.


Magic Johnson is a part of the group, and man could he run the fast break. I'm sure those skills transfer to running a baseball team.

The Pirates, meanwhile, after a great performance mid-season, seem intent to make this a losing season after all. :weep:

So a little over a month into the season and the two hottest teams in terms of Runs scored/allowed differential are: St. Louis (+65) and Texas (+49)

And 127 games into the season, both teams still lead the league. St. Louis has +126 and Texas has +113.  Weird.

Somehow the Orioles have a 31 run deficit and are just five games out from the best record in the league.  :wacko:

I don't know the exact figure, but the O's have out-scored their opponents by a respectable margin over the past month or so. They've been lucky all season long, but right now it's more than just luck.

The way the new playoffs work, I think it is really important to avoid getting in through the wildcard. Not only do you face a one game crapshoot, you are going to blow out your pitching rotation if you get to the next round while your opponent is resting up.

No shit:  a single playoff game, and no way to set your rotation.  Fuck that, it's all about winning the division now.

I am not so sure about that. In the 18 years since it was implemented, the Wild Card team has played in 10 World Series and won 5 of them. So, in any given year there is about a 50% chance one of the Wild Card teams will make it all the way. I'd say there really isn't an advantage or disadvantage.

COME ON ORIOLES!  Maintain your magical powers for just two more months.
