Friday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles’ September gauntlet continues

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Orioles fans have gotten what they’ve always asked for: the opportunity to play meaningful games in September. Unfortunately, they’re only meaningful for the Orioles’ opponents.

The AL postseason race — specifically, the wild card race — is coming down to the wire, and the Orioles could help decide which, if any, of their AL East opponents make it to the playoffs. Their remaining schedule is loaded with matchups against their divisional foes. Tonight they begin a three-game series in New York against the Yankees, who are two games ahead for the top wild card spot, and the two clubs will also square off for three games in Baltimore in two weeks.
