Good morning, Birdland!
The opening day of the playoffs was pretty neat, huh? Hopefully we won’t be sitting on the sidelines this time next year, unless it means the Orioles won the AL East and have a first-round bye. In that case, I’m perfectly happy enjoying a fall day without the associated stress of wild card games.
There was an Orioles-esque flair in some of Friday’s games. Manny Machado hit a home run. Mychal Givens tossed a scoreless inning. Ryan Flaherty sat on the bench. All the hallmarks of the glory years!
All eight teams that played on Friday are back in action today.
