On a whim, I decided to go to the Orioles vs. Royals game on Friday, September 11th. I went with a couple of my roommates and a friend visiting from out of town. It seemed odd to me, but I had no illusions about the game mattering in the grand scheme of the 2015 season. I enjoy going to games at Camden Yards, but over the past four seasons most of those games had an import behind them. The stink of a pennant race was all over them. And those games were great. Contention contains much more excitement than irrelevance.
