Give my Orioles some props guys. We've been suffering for 15 years.
Buck Showalter should be manager of the year. To watch what he did everyday with this team was remarkable. If the Orioles can sign a front line pitcher this Winter they will be good for a long time.
Major Props to the "A's". Almost as good a story as the Orioles. I'd love to see the Orioles and A's in the League Championship Series.
Yankees are old and their pitching is suspect. Not their year.
But time will tell, and there's always teams that play bigger/better than they actually are such as the Orioles and A's.
Orioles have already won their "world series" just by getting INTO the playoffs (well, kinda).
Sorry, as a Yanks fan we were so used to stomping on the O's it's hard not to pick at them! haha.
And Yankeee fans wonder why they're hated.
Here's to my 94 win Oakland A's, a team that is playing better than they actually are!
Sure, that was a rough thing for me to say, but it was the truth! When it boils down to it, they're NOT as talented and NOT on the same level as elite teams, BUT...that doesn't mean that they can't compete and win/be the Cinderella team.
They play with a lot of heart, but I'll take experience/confidence ANY day over just flat out heart.
Not saying they're just a stepping stool either, they're GOOD teams. Who knows? Maybe The O's and A's will be in the ALCS, but if I had to bet on something happening, it wouldn't be that.

I'm a Dodgers fan so I'm definitely not pulling for the Giants!! Based on all the baseball I've watched this year (and it's a ton) I am leaning towards the Yankees and Reds in the World Series.
If the Yankees don't make it, Fox Sports may as well show the World Series on tape delay because ratings will suffer.
Definitely best time of the year for baseball and looking forward to the rest of the playoffs.

Sorry my friend but Yankees is my team. But I do agree with what you have to say in the above statement. May the best team win. Have a Great Day.

The Yankees just might get to tangle with the Tigers again,and I think the Tigers would spank them..........again. But first the Orioles and A's have to be beaten.

Based on some of the comments I've seen, I hope the A's and the O's kick the sh!t out of Detroit and the SpankMes.

Not sure how you figure that with the O's and Yanks tied at 1 game each. Give me that big spoon so you can quit stirring the pot.

yep, that's me. clearly you're not getting the joke. Just getting a rise out of the Baltimore fans. It's not being a keyboard commando, it's friendly trash talking about a baseball team. If it hurts your feelings, well I'm sorry it does. I'm a sarcastic person, straight shooter, so if that's my downfall, then so be it. Not going to sweat it.

That's all well and good but maybe you should be around for a while and get to know peoples' personalities before you start on them. At least one other person, that contacted me, feels the same way.
I can dish it out and take it with the best of them. I just generally don't pull peoples' chains that I don't have a feel for..... it's in bad taste.
I'm exiting without making any more coments but will continue to monitor the thread.

don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, as that was not my intention. Just a die hard fan that likes to rib others, but your points are noted, and I'll stop commenting as well.
Hard to sense if remarks are sarcastic/serious/fun/not fun on a message board, I realize this. So if I offended ANYONE out there (you included) I apologize and did not mean anything negative out of it.
