Happy Thursday, O's fans. Here is a little math for you to start your day. The Orioles are currently 69-50. If they go 22-21 over the rest of the regular season, they will end with 91 wins. To get to 91 wins, the Blue Jays need to go 28-12 (.700). The Yankees need to go 30-13 (.698). I'm not going to say the Orioles have this in the bag, but it's getting pretty close.

Davis puts himself in No. 2 spot, O's go with it | orioles.com
Apparently Chris Davis's little joke is to put himself at a random position or batting order every single game. Last night he put himself in batting second and Buck Showalter just left him there. "[T]oday was the first day in three years that I actually put my name in the lineup and they just filled the lineup in around me," Davis said. "Hard work and determination does pay off."
Three easily forgettable early-90s Orioles have a birthday today: Mike Cook, Mark Leonard, and Tommy Shields. On this day in 2009, Felix Pie hit for the cycle.
