With what may go down as the biggest series of the year for
the Baltimore Orioles (81-74), they have come up terribly short. On Friday they
opened a four game series against the Wild Card Leading Tampa Bay Rays. This
was an opportunity to take over the Wild Card lead and they have already
dropped the first 3 games. This puts them 4.5 games out now. With three other
teams ahead of them fighting for one of those spots it just doesn’t look good.
On the other hand, the Braves (92-63) clinched the NL East
this weekend. The Cubs (65-91) didn’t make it easy on them though. The Braves
won game three of the series to clinch the division. Hopefully they can get
their rotation set for the postseason and make a push to the World Series
again. The Cubs still hold a lead in the City Title race so we still have
something to keep an eye on for the Cubbies.
The season comes to an end this week and when it does I hope
to give my thoughts on this season and the fate of our chosen teams. Until then…
Perhaps we were the kiss of death for the Orioles...
