Orioles....part 2?

[vansmack]

We're not too far off what the pundits are thinking:

Matt (Milford, DE )

If you're Buck Showalter, what does your postseason rotation look like?

David Schoenfield  (1:23 PM)

I think some of it depends on matchups. I believe Bud Norris, for example, has a good record against the Angels. Maybe he pitches in Anaheim. Maybe Chen goes against a lefty-leaning team like Oakland or Seattle. But I guess you go Tillman and then Gonzalez the way he's been pitching. After that? Who knows, although I'd love to bet on Gausman right now.

Like I said...

Ubaldo on the mound tonight so you may get your wish.

Would be ironic and yet somehow fitting if they clinched with Ubaldo on the mound.

Going Wednesday - I'm hoping they split the first two with Toronto.

Baltimore Orioles and their fans: WE the Washington Nationals and its fans want to welcome you to the 2014 major league baseball playoffs...what took you so long??? We been waiting for you...

[hutch]

Congratulations to the Orioles on clinching their first division title since 1997 (remember Albert Belle? man that seems like ancient history...nearly 20 years ago!)... as a team that has clinched two of the past three NL Division East titles we know how hard it is and we salute you for finally winning something again......

Seems to me you said they might win or they might lose.  Good call Swami.

it really is brilliant soothsayering . ... in the James Fordian universe the term IF ("if they clinched with Ubaldo") means "YUP! I CALLED IT BABY!"

[James Ford]

Reading comprehension, dudes. no offense but y'all seem to lack it. What are you, from Baltimore or something?

What I meant was that if they clinch with Ubaldo on the mound, irony would be in the air. And they did. And it is. So I was right, so right. See?

[K8teebug]

Irony indeed.  Ubaldo and Tommy Hunter pitching the 9th!

How sweet it is!!!

No.  You said 'With Ubaldo on the mound you may get your wish'.  Meaning the O's would lose.

And you also said 'Would be ironic and yet somehow fitting if they clinched with Ubaldo on the mound'.  Meaning the O's would win.

See?

That is not at all what I read James Ford's comments to mean.

Moving on......

That stuff stings.

Guess I'll be seeing the B squad tonight.  Hangovers all around.

Aside from Jones, Cruz, and Markakis, it seems like the whole starting lineup is a collection of B squadders each night.
