We win 2/3 from our biggest rival, we're 6-1 against the other 2 best teams in the league over the past couple weeks.

 

....and yet we're continuing to lose ground to the Brewers.

 

Thanks D.C. Did a bang up job with that new franchise. Losers. :roll:

I think their next trip to the west coast won't be as easy. We'll pick up ground this week.

I doubt anyone in DC would even notice. They're all Orioles fans.

They are going nowhere. They don't have a single player worthy of being an All Star, and other then maybe Zimmerman, they don't have a single player that can project to being a legit all star in their future. Other than Chris Marrero, their farm system is pretty awful as well, with no major prospects ready to step in and be an All Star caliber player for the near future.

 

They are also still not very fiscally relevant right now, so they won't even be able to field a competitive team through trades/FA market either. It might be 10 years before they are good, and it will be interesting to see how well their fan enthusiasm is after 13 straight years of mediocrity.

Oddly enough, they're finding it tough to market The House that Zim Built :-k

Like I said before it won't be easy, but they should be able to sweep the Padres easily.

 

Suppan vs. Baek (6.93 ERA at home this year)

Sabathia vs. Peavy (negated, Brewers better offense wins out)

Sheets vs. Maddux (same)

 

I think they will sweep the Padres and lose 2 of 3 to the Dodgers for a 4-2 trip.

And their GM is mired in a bonus-skimming scandal in Latin America.

Oh, and their GM wears this:

Not only that, but the Cubs hold an 8 game lead over the Cardinals and a 9 game lead over both the Marlins and Mets in the loss column for that spot.The magic number for clinching a playoff spot could be down to 36 after tonight. But we're winning the division, so this is just fun to look at. :thumbsup:
