Orioles vs. Twins

This was again... a terrible series.

I think the Orioles have given up and accepted the fact that they are not going to beat out the Blue Jays or the Yankees

Orioles vs. Twins
Game 1 LOST 2-15 (Should of spared some runs from that 18-2 Athletics game...)
Game 2 LOST 3-4
Game 3 LOST 2-3
Game 4 LOST 3-4

CURRENT RECORD: 62-61 (Still Third Place, surprisingly)

The heartbreaking part is, that 3/4 of the games played were all fairly close and most cases were that they tied them up or were winning them up until the last inning.

Just saying, Jim Johnson would of never blown a game like that... at least in 2012...



All I can say is that the Orioles will probably not be in the playoffs, which is alright and I don't care if the yankees make it to the playoffs, just as long as they don't win the whole thing. I will have to make sure to block channel 52 (or the yankees channel) because I don't want to see the yankees spilling champagne around and being happy. The team has gone through far enough wins, and gave plenty of heartbreak to other teams. It is very frustrating though, to have your team not win for so long because the same old teams hack up all the wins. Now this isn't from behind the aspect that it's unfair. It's just it gets boring after awhile because you can already predict the season before it happens. That isn't what MLB is. It is about being surprised about the outcome of the season and this year has show that. But it's hard playing in a division where everyone has an equal intent of working hard, yet again the baseball empire that collects all of the money manages to make it up there without a doubt. Not like I am discrediting the players of the yankees, but I want to know what goes on with that team... with the drugs and all (yet again all teams use drugs... but knowing the yankees and their money it would be the best of the best drugs).

Chris Davis is behind old revival, Nelson Cruz in most home runs. Clearly Cruz has been doing good without the Orioles. Man I miss that guy. Cruz could provide support for any close game. He always hit home runs at crucial moments. Davis used to do that, but I think all the home runs he has hit have been in games that were far apart like the 2-15 game of this series. Davis has 34 home runs and Cruz has 37.

WHERE ARE THESE ORIOLES NOW?
To add in part of our continuing saga, we lead the trail back to Jim Johnson who is currently with the Braves. He isn't doing so good, his record is 0-2. He used to be good back in his prime of 2012 and some of 2013, and he is a good pitcher at times which is why great teams like the Athletics (well at least the Athletics of last year) and the Braves wanted him because he's a bargain and he's an okay pitcher.  It seems though his has leaped from team to team, including the Tigers and Dodgers so this proves that those who take interest and give him a salary aren't satisfied with him long. Hopefully he will find his good vibes again, or else he'll be placed on the midnight train going anywhere.
