What is it with this team?...
Just as I am ready to bury them for the 4th time this year...they give me a reason to keep watching.
They are not going quietly into the off-season, I will give them that...

They have a lot of young guys playing very well.
Tillman and Chen have been really great.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

They've had great Septembers since Showalter took over...it's going to be gut wrenching to the end for sure.

Even if they don't get the wild card, this season has been a breath of fresh air for O's fans everywhere.
What would be sweet is if they do get the wild card and Hammels can come back into the rotation.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: What is it with this team?...
According to this article up now at SI, the Orioles are at a staggering -57 run differential, which is, mathematically and historically, a strong indicator they will not make the postseason.
The Rays, by comparison, are at +19, and the Red Sox at +29.
They are doing *much* better than I thought they would. Within a week they may have exceeded what I thought would be the season total of wins (61 was my guess), but I have a bad feeling this season is a flash in the pan.
Enjoy it, my friends.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: What is it with this team?...
I am enjoying it.
I was hoping for them to finish at .500 or a little over. Anything else is a bonus. And having them in contention this late in the year is something not seen in quite a while. Yes, that run differential is staggering, but their great record in one and two run games is what is saving their hides."I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused" - Elvis Costello

End of August - 3 behind the Yankees and going to NY for a 3 game Series - They could end up being tied for 1st in September. Whod'a Thunk!

Re: What is it with this team?...
I can't even put my finger on it, but the way they played this weekend was just...magical! I mean, who could've believed we'd see a team win ALL the road series in NY? That was never happening in anyone's wildest dreams. And they had a real shot to sweep this weekend, if not for the Saturday blunder.
Every time you're ready for the other shoe to drop, they grab it before it hits the floor. It'll be close, but we're seeing a team finally playing contending, meaningful baseball!.
