What a ride it’s been, huh, Birdland? And now we get to watch it continue…
Straight to the links today, as I celebrated the clinch a little too hard last night and I’m paying for it today. Worth it!
But first….Adam Jones twerking.

5 Reasons the Baltimore Orioles Can win the World Series
Would you like Fox Sports’ Chris Bahr to lay out five reasons why these Birds could soar to the top of baseball’s highest mountain? Of course you would.
Baltimore Orioles Happy to Ride Ubaldo Jimenez’s Hot Hand
But will they ride it in the Wild Card game? I posted an informal poll on Twitter asking who O’s fans want to start tomorrow, and with over 300 votes it’s nearly 50/50 between Jimenez and Chris Tillman. Honestly, I can’t fault Buck whichever way he decides to go. After all, Joe Saunders ain’t walking through that door.
Baltimore Orioles Organization Review
As he often does, Baltimore Sports and Life’s Chris Stoner went through the trouble of reaching out to a bunch of different baseball analysts around the country to ask them about the Orioles. This is a long read, but well worth your time. Thanks for putting it together, Chris!
The Orioles Had a Wild Ride to Get to the Wild Card
Alex Conway reviews the crazy up-and-down season over at Camden Chat.
Should the Orioles Be So Excited About a Wild Card Berth?
Fun-haters were mad at the Orioles for having fun yesterday, and Roar from 34’s Matt Taylor rightly takes them to task. He also goes through the crazy history of O’s teams that won a ton of games but still missed the postseason thanks to baseball’s silly old rules. Long live the wild cards!
