I did:tiphat: Ask PapoZalsa, I informed him we were coming right after the All-Star break. :happydance:

It's been a great season for the Birds. I'm hoping for a strong finish. Even if they don't win it all, it's certainly a season to be proud of. If they miss the playoffs, it'll still be the best result they've had in 15 years.

Is Not Over until the Fat Lady sings!

Celebrating tooooooo early!

When the Os win the WS Championship then you can talk. When was the last time they won a WS?

lol Texeira was safe, but I'll take it! :roflpuke2:

Of course, now Markakis is done for the season. Right when CC hit him and he walked to the dugout, my mom said, "Thumb's broken". She's a nurse, she can spot that sh*t a mile off. :(

Nope, nothing wrong with celebrating a great season regardless where we finish. Maybe if we could afford a yearly payroll of over 300 million we would win more :icon17:.

My point was that I said we were coming, you laughed, yet here we are, tied for first. Now we just have to try and stay here for the next few weeks.

Cry me a river! :bowrofl:

Not for now, what about that game today, 13-3, Yankees in 1st place again. The NYYs are not going to lay down a let the Os roll over them like everyone was thinking. ;)

It still a long month but I really enjoy that game today because the Os were acting so cocky in this series. :roflpuke2:

But like I said is not over until the Fat Lady signs, anyway other the NYY I prefer the Os over TB or the Suxs to win the Division anytime.

I think this is going to be back and forward for 1st place, but have to watch TB.

Yeah, he was safe by 1/2 mile, but what goes around comes around... ;)

Just one game, jose. :). Fun race for the division. May the best team win.

Let's go Pawtucket Red Sox they are in the playoffs.

Watch TB but :iagree:

The O's cocky, now that's funny.:roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

Wow, great O's game tonight. Can't wait to hit Camden Yards on the 28th.

O's win in 14 innings and sweep the Rays. Now a tough road trip.

They just keep finding ways to win. :excited:

Well, Well...what about those Os? How are they doing against the As? :icon17:

They are doing pretty well. 7 and 3 in their last 10, currently tied for 1st with the Yanks and won an 18 inning marathon last night that ended at around 3:55 am our time.

Thanks for asking Buddy :tiphat:
:icon17:

Pawtucket is doing great.

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

O's magic continues. 16th straight extra innings win. Six straight wins. 47th save for Johnson. This is really getting fun.

tough loss for the brewers today. Facing a cy young contender in gio gonzales. they need to win the next 2 to stay in it I think. too bad the cubs couldnt pull out the win

Fixed :tup:

Lucky in a game, maybe, but not an entire baseball season. :tiphat:

A team in last place or close for the past 5 to 10 years? I would said is LUCKY season. Look at Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Texas, Detroit, Yankees, SF, TB, Angels, St. Louis, Boston, LA Dogers, etc. teams that on time or another have been consistent for few years, NOT 1 year. ;)

Until otherrwise they win the big game and continue for a few years and prove me wrong, Yes a call it LUCK!. Then I will give due were due is deserve.

NOTE: : The Baltimore Orioles have won the World Series three times: 1966 (Los Angeles Dodgers); 1970 (Cincinnati Reds); 1983 (Phillies).

Baseball seasons are too long to consider it luck.

And in the past ten years the Yankees have one World Series win. With the highest payroll in baseball that's not what I would call a good return for the money.

:tiphat:

However, NYY has win the Division several years and been in the playoffs. When was the last time the O's participate in any playoffs?

NYY have won a Total of 27 World Series FYI!!!! Respect History. ;)

Please spare me the pain about the highest payroll, however for all the injuries they had this year they have played better than what I expected.
Cry me a river, OK! :bowrofl: Because that is all you know about baseball, quote the same thing over and over and over. :shakes head:

Accept the reality, a Lucky season any team has one. Florida Marlins and other teams did in the past. This year is the O's and they could go to win the whole thing, so how knows... GL

There's no tiebreakers in the playoffs for history. Sure, the O's are behind, but the season's not over yet.

I don't think you can call a team lucky if they do it night in and night out for 162 games. That's just pushing aside their accomplishments.

You better start reading your own posts Jose. You brought up until they win the big game (World Series right?) and you brought up the Orioles World Series wins. I then bring up the fact that the Yanks have only one World Series win in the past ten years, now you switch it to just playoffs.

Not crying over the payroll issue, it's just a fact and I am fine with it. I am just not a fan of the Yankee fan superiority attitude when the fact is that the Yankees can afford to buy all the best players at crazy salaries. Lets see how good a team the Yankees can field with a 100M payroll.

I am impressed that you have determined my knowledge of baseball from a few posts here.

Regardless of what happens, The O's have had a great season (not a lucky one) and I expect the upswing to continue. Of course that is being said with my obviously limited baseball knowledge. :rolleyes:

As you refered "I'm not a fan of the Yankee fan superiority attitude" = Yankee Hater! :tiphat:

I have been a fan of the Yankees since the 70's when Reggie Jackson hit 3 HRs in one game against the LA Dodgers in the WS. There is where he got the name Mr. October. I'm a real fan win or lose and I do not have an attitude of superiority. ;)

And again there you go with the damn payroll again!!!!!!!!! :shakes head:

Yes, NYY has the biggest payroll for 2012, however there are 7 more teams that have a difference of only around $200,000 to $300,000 less on payroll than NYY. And a least three or four of them are not making it this year.

And without going to the playoffs you cannot make it to the WS...Duuuuhhhhh!!!:shakes head:

NYY might have only one WS in the last 10 yrs which is one more than the O's. :roflpuke2:

The whole issue is Consistenty year in and year out like the teams I mentioned before, something the O's have not done in years.

Talk about statistics/injuries, etc. and quit crying about payrolls....;)

Jose, you're just too stubborn to admit that the Orioles are actually good this year without pawning it off on luck.

Sure, they're slumping right now, but they've come a very long way. You probably said the same thing about Tampa the first year they did well.

I'm still saying that Tampa plays above their ability.

Those crazy O's.

Smacked 7 lucking home runs last night, great lucking win.

We're headed out to the lucking game tomorrow night against Boston. Sure hope the lucking weather holds up.

:icon17:

Godamn motherfucking piece of **** brewers!!!! :mad:

**** brewers. :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

WOW!!!!!! BRAVO, Bragging about beating a last place team, what an accomplishmnet and honor, but I don't hear about losing 4-0 to them the day before :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Let see if they can do that against Texas, Detroit, SF, As, NYY, TB, Washington, Cincinnati, etc. where they have quality pitching...not a "Little League" team because that what the Jays pitching looked like last night :bowrofl:

Last time I looked they split this years games with the big bad Yankees. I even think they hit a home run or two off of that superior major league pitching. Go ahead, check the stats since that is what you are into. In fact, I believe they are second in all of baseball in home runs this year. More stats for you.
And because I know you will appreciate this, the Orioles are doing it for about 140 million dollars cheaper than the Yankees. :tiphat:

Wow, did I just see a last place little league looking team smack down the Yankees 6 to nothing. I guess since the Orioles are lucky this just must be Yankee bad luck.
:roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

^ :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Again with the SAME CRAP about the payroll!!!!!!!! :shakes head:

What I wanted to say was that they looked like Little League pitching that night, OK!

I'm scared now with all your stats, WOW!!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

By the way, not the first time they are going to lose against the Jays or any other team...Quit twisting what I write.

Congrats to the O's for clinching a playoff spot today.

Especially relieving, since it was all luck from the beginning of the season!!!
