A pretty good Magic Carpet Ride for the orioles this year, big lead in the east, no stress, but all good things come to an end, of course. Baltimore is going to the playoffs we know, but the road to the world series just got tougher because one of its best players wont be available for eight games of the postseason. Chris davis docked suspended 25 games today for using adderall. He led the majors with 53 home runs a season ago, only 26 this year but still one of the best power hitters on the team. Thats a huge loss. Rest of his teammates taking on the yankees today. Orioles magic alive and well. Here we go late in the game down 10, but in extras here come the orioles. Everybody is running. Orioles win 21 in extra innings. They dominate in the east. How about some football . Much anticipation for the start of the season. Then burgundy and gold took the field in houston last week and. [ raspberry ] its only week two but sunday against the jags is huge. Heres why the redskins got to play much better on offense, more than just 5yard passes and they got to stop turning it over like that. They got to beat the jags, one of the bottom feeders of the league, but they played better than expected in philly last week, so its a big game and can the skins really underestimate anybody . No. I dont think any team is a slouch, even teams that lose 10 and 11 games during the season, its not like they lose them all by 40. This is going to be a tough game. Last i checked we were supposed to pick before them last year. Thank you. Ryan clark breaking it down. And if they lose this game, obviously the energy will be way down. Way down. Its a big one. Special teams have to do better. You all need some positive thinking over here. Glass is half full. So they go down to 1 3 full if they lose . No, it does not. Have a great weekend the cbs evening news
