So if Baltimore wins the next game, Detroit gets home field advantage, yes?

Wow, another nail biter but they win.

Honestly the Orioles offense isn't this bad, surely they have to wake up sometime. I do understand the same could be said about the Yankees.

Every series in the Divisional round goes to 5 games. Unreal.

GO O's Go!!

Yeah, that is pretty nuts. I feel bad for Reds' fans. They have to be a little shocked/drunk tonight.

I like that Nats chances tomorrow. I feel like our bats are due and Gio rarely has two bad starts in a row. He's only allowed 8 earned runs in his last 7 starts.

I'm treating my dad to the Nats' game tomorrow. He has been a Sens/Nats fan since the '50s and this will be the first time he's ever seen them in the playoffs. Very excited!

Nice little gem on twitter... ‏

@SpiroA What does A-Rod do after hitting a homerun to beat the Orioles? He turns off his XBOX and goes to bed. #GoodNight #BUCKleUP

So, in the 9th on 10/11/12, Werth hit the 13th pitch for his 14th career playoff home run.

Ooooh! Numbers!

The Yanks/O's going 5 is huge for the Tigers. Gives Verlander that extra day of rest.

I'm enjoying ARod's struggles way too much...Schadenfreude overload.

Word is the place erupted when he was taken out in game 3. Any time I kind of feel bad for old purple lips I just remember how much he makes and that feeling immediately vanishes.

That really is. Also, there are few things better than the dugout shot of a team whose player just hit a HR. The run to the top of the steps, lean over the railing, is it out or not? moment, and then the over the top joy as they realize it's a home run. Probably my favorite thing about playoff baseball.

TIGGGGGGGGGGGGERRRRRSSS!!!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Wow, word is A-Rod out of the starting lineup for today's game. With the series on the line I'm not sure I agree with this move. Should've been done for game 4.

ORIOLES' MAGIC!

Lol at A-Rod getting pinch hit for two nights in a row in clutch situations. What a loser.

Just heard on the radio that A-Rod has been benched for tonight. Ibanez will DH and Chavez will play 3rd. That's one expensive pinch hitter!
