Orioles finish strong
Say what you want about the Baltimore Orioles, but one thing you can’t accuse them of being is a bunch of quitters.
The O’s played one of the toughest schedules in all of baseball in September and spent much of it being a real pain for many of the contenders in the American League.
The Orioles put up a strong fight against Detroit, New York and Tampa Bay, and boy did they ruin Boston’s season.
The Orioles took three of four in Fenway Park before winning two out of three in the final series of the year at Camden Yards, knocking the Red Sox out of the playoffs.
It was a very small consolation prize for the Orioles after such a disappointing season, and it is expected to be a very busy offseason.
