Orioles were officially eliminated from the American League East playoff race tonight with a loss to the Yankees. Although in related "So you're saying there's a chance?" news, the magic number for the wild card is still seven games
Of course, the team already announced that Matusz and Tillman are going to be shut down after a couple more starts (good to hear after Matusz's dominating start Sunday) and Bergesen has been officially shut down without returning from his injury this season. Not much to look forward to until December, I guess, unless Reimold gets hot and takes the Rookie of the Year award that he arguably deserves.
And I just want to thank the Chicago Cubs for Felix Pie. That was a nice gift you guys gave MacPhail and the Orioles, especially now that he's killing the ball.
