Baltimore Orioles: 4th AL Pennant
1902 1904 1907 1917
Dude. Let me tell you something...
The Baltimore Orioles just clinched their FOURTH American League pennant.
1902... 1904... 1907... and now, 1917. That’s not a team — that’s a f***ing dynasty in the making.
This game was wild.
They went into Seattle — hostile crowd, cold weather, swirling wind — and just shut it down. I’m talkin’ 11 hits from the Mariners... ZERO runs. Nothing. Zip. Goose egg. How? Because Sal Cantu is out here pitching like he's got a grudge against oxygen. Dude’s ERA is 0.39 in the postseason. You hearing me? That’s not normal. That’s like monk-level discipline on the mound.
And then you’ve got Chris Alfonso, the MVP. This guy — this f**ing guy* — hits not one, but TWO nukes, one in the first, one in the fifth. Just walked up there and said, “Nah, I’m not going home today.” Ends the series hitting .409 with a bat hotter than a solar flare. Nine hits. Two bombs. Ice in his veins.
This was a statement game. Baltimore put up 4 early and said, “We’re done here.” Mariners had 11 hits and not a damn thing to show for it. And yeah, Seattle's got dudes. Roden? Three hits. Cech? Welch? All those guys were battling — and it didn’t even matter.
Now look, Baltimore doesn’t even know who they’re facing in the World Series yet — it’s gonna be either San Francisco or New York — but I’ll tell you what: nobody wants to see this team right now.
They’ve got power, speed, defense, and pitching that’s straight-up demoralizing. You walk into a game against Baltimore right now, you better bring lunch, a flashlight, and maybe a f***ing exorcist — because it’s gonna be a long day.
4-0 shutout to win the pennant? In enemy territory? That’s a team with killer instinct. That’s a team that knows who they are.
Baltimore’s going to the World Series.
Lock the doors. Hide your bullpens. **** just got real. 💣⚾🔥
