Orioles vs. Yankees

Orioles vs. Yankees
(Yankee Stadium)
Game 1 LOST 2-3
Game 2 LOST 3-4
Game 3 LOST 3-9


What is very annoying about the yankees is how high they put the standards for other baseball teams of all time, or even just the division their in. The yankees seem to be in their own little world, making up their own rules with how you should look (as in beards-though I think they are allowing some now...) and of course being the only team (so far) to have stripes on their uniforms. They are the exception to anything, including suspensions and scandals. I'm going to assume that such a team that has a fan base paying for high-end tickets, uniforms, and other concessions leads to copious amounts of money, obviously and we all know that more money leads to more corruption. Although most major league baseball organizations make a lot of money also, the yankees are probably at the top of the list because of their location. Let's face it... everyone wants to see a game with the legendary yankees while their down in New York City... it's a tourist attraction. The yankees are very clandestine, and there's nothing more to say than that. I'm not questioning the ability of these players, but how only how much of the truth they're actually telling. I'm not going to picture the Orioles as a great team either, because they have drug problems too and I think every team does and they promptly accept their punishments. I know many players who get the punishment and start using the drug again (RE: Chris Davis-honestly the Orioles should get rid of him) and that's not right either. But what I don't understand is why MLB isn't treating the yankees any different. I think 27 world series wins is superfluous and I don't see why they need the chance to win anymore.


INJURY UPDATES: Steve Pearce placed on the 15-day disabled list on July 22nd, with a Grade 1 left oblique strain


NEWS INSIDE THE YARD: 
Looks like Justin Upton won't be heading to the Orioles, at least as of now. The Mets and Padres are battling it out with money. But however, Shane Victorino (Red Sox) is drawing attention to the Orioles organization.
