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.

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

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!!!!!!!!!

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!!!

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

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.

Lemers · 09-26-2012, 04:07 PM

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

Roadster4Us · 09-27-2012, 11:20 AM

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.

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

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

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.

Roadster4Us · 09-27-2012, 08:50 PM

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.

PapoZalsa · 09-28-2012, 06:45 PM

^

Again with the SAME CRAP about the payroll!!!!!!!!

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!!!!

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.
