Orioles Clinch the AL East

Hello, my name is Nick. The Orioles are the first team that has clinched their division and has insured themselves a spot in the playoffs. Recently, they defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2 on Tuesday September 16, 2014. This win was historic for the Orioles because it was the first time they have clinched their division in over 15 years.

This historical game was led by the pitching of the Orioles. They had an outstanding bull pen that turned off the (usually very offensive) Blue Jays. The Orioles have only won three world series, all of which, have been won a while ago. Is this the year that the Orioles go to the World Series? As the Orioles are the first team to clinch their division, many say that this is finally their year to shine. However, this year there are many teams that are doing very well.

The Orioles have the team to win the World Series. With Manny Machado leading the infield and power hitter Adam Jones leading the outfield, there is no doubt that the Orioles can win. To win the world series you need the following three things: Pitching, Offense, and Defense. These may seem simple but many teams are missing one, if not more components.  As long as the Orioles can stay healthy and their pitching stays strong, the Orioles have a very good future ahead of them.
