Good morning, Camden Chatters.
It’s August, and the Orioles are right in the thick of the playoff race.
Take a moment to absorb that sentence. Bask in it. What an unexpectedly delightful season this has been! The O’s, fresh off their three-game sweep in Texas, bring a 54-51 record back to Baltimore for this weekend’s series against the Pirates.
On the scoreboard-watching front, there was good news and bad news for the idle Orioles last night. The bad news is that the Rays won in Detroit, extending their lead over the Birds to two full games for the third and final Wild Card slot.
