In their current state with the injuries and the offense struggling, almost every game the Yankees play ends up being a close one. Despite it often feeling like a grind just to get a couple runs, they still have managed to put up a not terrible record in recent weeks. However, actually stringing multiple wins […]
The Orioles were swept away tonight, ruining every bit of goodwill and excitement they had built up with their series against the Rays last weekend.

Sometimes baseball is weird. Sometimes it’s sloppy. Sometimes, neither team looks exceptionally sharp. But all of the time, someone has to win.
