Uh-oh. Here come the Yankees.

Terrible. About Manny. At the Cubs. Just awful.
We were there Wednesday for the Sox, and then Friday and Saturday at Wrigley. Just awful.
Hoping they get over it and turn it around tonight.

Intentionally walking Davis with two outs to pitch to Hardy? What a gift!
Andrew F-ing Miller!
And how 'bout that closer? Man, is he lights out or what?
It's been a good ride so far - hope to see it continue.

Me too. Britton has been great this year. Who'd have thought?
Good game last night, but man am I tired this morning! Marathon training and late night O's games do not mix!

It was like deja vu all over again with Bud Norris that first inning.

Duquette making moves for the playoff roster. I like it.
From Buster:
Manny Machado's injuries and the timing of them in the early climb through his career would seem to greatly hurt his chances of working out a very long-term deal with the Orioles before he becomes eligible for free agency.
Machado, 22, will have two years and 56 days of service time after this season, and he?ll be eligible for arbitration for the first time after next season. Given the unusual nature of his knee injuries, the Orioles would want to see him play through an extended period – say, at least two seasons – before they would consider giving him the sort of deal that would run into his late 20s. The Orioles have long been regarded by agents as a team leery of injury risk, and have backed away from free agents – from Will Clark to Grant Balfour – because of that factor.
But within another couple of seasons, Machado will be closing in on free agency, and if he bounces back in a big way and stays healthy over the next two seasons, his representation would presumably look for the Orioles to be very aggressive in keeping him.
This is not going to be a case in which the Orioles don?t want Machado, but it could develop into a situation in which the timing of his injuries will affect the team?s interest in working out a timely big-money, long-term deal

Fire Ubaldo.
So which one of the five starters do you drop from you playoff rotation? Gausman? Or does it depend on who the opponent is?
I am not looking forward to the ESPN fuckfest for Derek Jeter next Sunday.
And I hope the Orioles really do give him the Maier picture.
That is all.

That pic is all he deserves. I hate the fact that he's getting anything whatsoever.
As to who gets dropped…I'd vote Jiminez.

Jiminez is already dropped. After that, there's still five. I'm assuming you have to drop one of:
Tillman
Chen
Gonzalez
Norris
Gausman
Tillman
Chen
Gonzalez
Norris
Gausman

I think Tilman and Chen are the only two sure bets. The rest probably depends on matchups.

This. How could you not start Tillman, Gonzalez and Norris against Anaheim?
Nelson Cruz relaunches his MVP campaign. Nice!
that game last night was crazy
