Detroit took four of five from the Orioles during the regular season.

Is that fact irrelevant in the playoffs?

It is.  Plus that was way back in May.  Hunter was still the closer then.

And Weiters was the catcher.

This Detroit team is going to lose hilariously. I can just feel it. They are like a giant slice of swiss cheese with these huge holes and no matter what they do, Baltimore is bound to hit one of them.

Here's hoping the bats come alive for the Orioles.

Adam Dunn not in the lineup for the A's!?

First playoff game in his 13 year career and he sits.

Darling used to do Nats games.

I know Cespedes doesn't get to that blooper that made it 3-2, but it's fun to pretend he would've...

There's a part of me that wants Billy Beane to never ever win anything.

whoa....new AC/DC song!

Well that move didn't work.  Why are you bringing in a starter when you have such a good 'pen?

There's a verb for that.  It's called "Ned Yosting".....

And I guess Moss for Dunn was a wise move.

The harder I search for good seats in Oakland for Sunday and Monday, the quicker the Royals keep coming back.... 

[stevewizzle]

ugh, KC's excitement got the best of them on those two ABs.  gregerson gave them nothing and they were up there hacking away.
