Baltimore Orioles fans have found themselves in stranger situations. But needless to say it’s an odd and a very nice feeling to know that after game 162, there’s still a tomorrow. The regular season may be over. But things are just getting heated up.
We won’t know the next opponent until Wednesday at the earliest. Possibly Thursday. But what we do know is that the Orioles will next sometime on Saturday, and that it’ll be in game one of the ALDS – at Camden Yards.
The lone concern going into that series may be that you have to hope the Birds aren’t harmed by the layoff. However keep in mind that down the stretch in September, the Orioles looked tired at times. So these few days off will probably do more good than harm.
However in the interim, consider this; the Orioles won 101 GAMES. That’s a remarkable accomplishment, given any amount of odds. Buck Showalter (who just parted ways with the New York Mets) used to rave about how hard it was to win even one major league game. But 101 of them? No matter what happens, the Orioles took the fans, the media, and everyone who followed them day in and day out on the ride of a lifetime this summer.
Normally I do a season recap towards the end of the first week after the regular season ends. That’s obviously not happening yet because…the season’s not over! News as it comes out of the team this week. Enjoy the wild card games!
