Wouldn't it be nice if they could play some baseball? Then we wouldn't have to wait so long. And wouldn't it be nice if the O's won. In the kind of world where we belong.
Showalter keeping options open for Game 4 | orioles.com
Tillman hasn't exactly impressed thus far in his two postseason starts. Perhaps hold him back for a potential Game 5 and MiGo and his ice-water for blood take the ball in Game 4?

Today I learned...
Happy birthday, Kiko Garcia. In spite of an Orioles career OPS+ of 66 (including a mind-numbing 36 over 340 PAs in 1980) he performed well in the '79 postseason, slashing .400 / .429 / .600 in the World Series. On this date in 1969 the Mets shutout the O's 5-0 to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series. In '71 the Pirates shutout the O's 2-0 to take a 3-2 lead in the World Series. In '79 the O's hold a 1-0 lead until the 6th after which they meltdown to allow 7 runs to the Pirates, allowing the Bucs back into the Series, who are now down just 3-2. 1983 featured a more amenable result, as the O's defeat the Phillies 3-2 to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series.
