Monday Bird Droppings

September 22? Holy wow, time flies. The season is winding down and the Orioles are playing seemingly meaningless baseball, only this year it's because the O's have clinched the division and Buck Showalter seems intent on resting some ailing regulars and conducting a sort of "second spring." A lot of articles in the coming days will look past the Yankees and Blue Jays match ups this week towards playoff rosters and rotations, but you still gotta play it one game at a time. After all, O's still have a mathematical shot at 100.
