I'm taking time out of my Caps watching to post this for SC. It's 3 in Seattle, then 4 in CWS, and 17 of our next 20 on the road. This is a stretch the O's usually face in August, just in time to flush the season down the toilet. So maybe the timing actually works in the O's favor.
And for the record, the refs in the Caps-Flyers series make Richie Garcia look like he knows what he's doing.

Go get 'em, boys. It's a long time before you get to unpack, so I hope you packed plenty of momentum and clean underwear.
