AL East Watch

[Cynical]

Well, Price, Lackey and Lester are now out of the division. Might help the Jays with a couple of series still with the Red Sox and Rays.

Orioles get better with Miller, their bullpen is solid.
Yanks add Prado and Drew..and Esmil Rogers! Their moves are kinda meh.

[Schad]

Cheer for the Yankees to win and keep the dream of winning the AL East alive.

Cheer for the Orioles to win and increase our chances of making the postseason, period.

Cheer for the Yankees because the Orioles are winnery bastards and someone has to beat them I mean really.

Cheer for the Orioles to win because **** the **** Yankees.


I am so conflicted.

[Randle McMurphy]

Have to cheer against the Orioles. They can still go into a tailspin.

[Michael Bradley]

I'd rather have the division than the WC, and 5 games in a month a half, while difficult, is not impossible to come back from.

Regardless, at least one of them will lose.

Cheering against the Orioles is an exercise in futility, though.

Yeah, that's why I am conflicted...logic and numbers and things that are real tell me that an Orioles collapse is a distinct possibility. Watching Orioles games tells me that they hail from a plane of existence where those things don't matter and I might as well accept it.

Not tonight. Manny Machado twisted a knee in the batter's box - his knee torque is as much an injury waiting to happen as Lawrie's tendency to bat balls with his hands. You might think he ripped up his surgically repaired front knee on this swing, but it's the back leg he hurts.

Then the Orioles botched this epic rundown.

Manny Machado will probably be out for the year, and they'll call up some journeyman, who will get multiple game-winning hits along the way.

Still up 7-3, though, and therein lies the baffling nature of the Orioles. Plays go against them. Injuries go against them. But games? Games they can't seem to stop winning no matter what.

We took that player, his name is Nolan Reimold...

But seriously. No Machado, No Wieters and Crush Davis hitting .199....how the f are they winning so many games? I'd love to see them do a Boston like collapse in September, but as others have pointed out it seems like they've been given the golden horseshoe to place up their anus.
