I didn't know that the Orioles did This Land is Young Land at the seventh-inning stretch. That's cool.

Why, for example, would the leaders on the team allow someone to put up on a wall photos of two Toronto sports writers with an 'X' scratched on their face and a message written on top reading, ‘Do not grant them interviews’ (or words to that effect)?

Probably because the offense was supposed to carry this team. As a whole the pitching has been a pleasant surprise this year.

no, that was my point
The infamous games were like a series of bloops followed by a 3 run dinger and a complete meltdown, 4+ runs in an inning. Today was not that

Finally, Rentaria seemed like a very competent manager I didn't think it would take this long for him to land a spot.

The Dodgers' have no direct benefit to play for tomorrow and have the NLDS to look forward to. In theory they should just throw out scrubs tomorrow. However, I'm REALLY hoping spite/divisional rivalry drives them. A Giants loss and Cardinals win forces a game 163.
