If we are being truly honest with ourselves, the Orioles’ chances of chasing down the Blue Jays and taking their Wild Card spot died with the infamous Labor Day Letdown. The O’s currently sit 4.5 games back of the closest Wild Card, which is no longer the Jays but rather the Tampa Bay Rays. That’s the great thing about the 2022 season though: we—as members of Birdland—don’t have to be strictly honest without ourselves. The Never Say Die Orioles (my preferred nickname for the 2022 bunch) have made believing in the impossible the best part of being an Orioles fan this season.
