Sunday Bird Droppings: The ALCS gets started tonight

Hello, friends.

There are now 172 days remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game. For today, inferior sports are at the ready to offer entertainment, but the big ticket is the start of the ALCS between the Astros and Rays.

For me, it’s not too hard to prefer the Rays out of these two teams. It has to be an extraordinary circumstance for me to really get on board with another AL East team pulling something off, but I think this qualifies. We all know that the Astros were cheating cheaters who cheated, and they deserve some karmic backlash that goes beyond the relatively paltry penalties issued to them.
