There’s nervous energy surrounding the Baltimore Orioles tonight, as they head north of the border to take on their arch-rivals, Toronto, in the American League Wild Card game. I suppose it’s fitting for these two teams to take two more swipes at each other this year, this time in an automatic elimination game. Let me say that again; tonight’s game is an elimination game. There’s no game one, two, or three – just tonight’s game.
That’s why there’s nervous energy, and yes excitement. We all know how difficult is is to win a major league game, yet that’s what the Orioles are taxed with doing…winning one game.
