Orioles vs. Twins

This series was well... embarrassing.


Orioles vs. Twins (Target Field)
Game 1 LOST 2-4
Game 2 LOST 3-8
Game 3 LOST 3-5

And apparently they thought this series was going to be an easy win. Yeah. Right.

CURRENT STANDING: 43-42 (second place)
**Again they better win the rest of the games before all-star vacation, because I don't want to see the yankees doing what they always do, triumphing above the AL East and all of the YES (the yankees channel) people will start talking about how they're on their way to the world series but really they need to just stop. The yankees have had their time or chances to win world series. I don't think that it's necessarily fair that they dominate over their standings almost every single year. What aggravates me even more is the fact of for example, last year. The Orioles won over the AL East division standings, which was great even though they didn't make it much farther than that. But obviously baseball gurus get bored during the winter and start thinking up what the standings will end up like. Of course new acquisitions effect this also, the yankees STILL got placed ahead of the Orioles. Remind you the yankees weren't even in the world series/playoffs. What I can't stand about the yankees anymore is how glorified they think they are, but really they're just a bunch of jerks that use drugs (re: Alex Rodriguez). What I'm trying to say is, each year is the same thing over and over again. We need to stop putting spotlight on the yankees organization and maybe give some respect to other teams, not just the Orioles.**
