Don’t worry Orioles, they’ll be back next year…
This blogger can hold a grudge, and yesterday’s game will not be forgotten. The Orioles were trying to break the Rays. You’d think they would sorta be happy for the Rays, but I guess they don’t like be in the cellar.
They blatantly tried to mess up our infield, and maybe even our centerfielder. Longo was hit by a pitch, in the stomach? Barty was hit twice in this game alone. That’s just bullshit. Then they tackled Aki on the basepath. These boys are crucial to this team. Why wasn’t anybody else pissed off? It looked like they threw at BJ too.
Yes I realize there is a good chance that their pitchers just suck and have no aim, but the hitting of Barty every other time he comes to bat is very suspicious, and chick Rays fans love him and will not stand for this.
Anyway I’m glad the Rays just blew them off and didn’t risk any suspensions, but I would have wholeheartedly approved throwing Talbot or Niemann in there to plunk some O’s. All I kept thinking about was that scene in Wedding Crashers where Vince Vaughn gets shot in the butt when quail hunting. That would be a nice way to take down an Orioles pitcher, bird hunting.
Okay enough anger. The Rays magic number is one, and they have won 96 games now! Groovy. I’m trying to hold in my excitement, especially since they face the Tigers rookie who can actually pitch tomorrow. Just one more guys. Go Rays!!
Oh and yay Twins!
