But I don’t blame him for thinking that the Orioles were a mirage. Much as the Indians did in April and May, the O’s are performing well above their ExWL mark would indicate (actual: 72-58, ExWL: 60-70). The law of averages caught up with the Indians, mostly (although the Indians have won 6 games more than their ExWL would indicate). They won’t be in the AL East cellar, for sure, but they might finish third.

How about Ryan McCrystal’s post on July 4th that states “Taking three of four from the Orioles was nice but, despite their inflated record, they’re still the Orioles and I fully expect to see them in the cellar of the AL East well before the season comes to a close.” I think that might qualify for some type of shaming photo as well.

However the really sad part is not that his big mouth got him what he wanted (but doesn’t deserve), the really sad part is that this is apparently the best option the Indians have left.
