The Rays are about to learn what it feels like when a franchise that spent twenty years in purgatory finally gets two generational talents and decides to use them like a sledgehammer.

I'm terrified to believe we're actually about to beat somebody competent but Gunnar and Adley didn't come here to break my heart like the last 20 years did, so maybe—just maybe—we got this.

The Orioles are coming to our cathedral of cost-efficiency with their checkbook wide open, and we're about to remind them that money can't buy the kind of scrappy ingenuity we've perfected in an empty stadium.

We've got three more innings to work some magic on a shoestring budget while the Orioles probably blow this like every other big-market team that forgets how to innovate.
