ORIOLES vs MARINERS..."WEEKEND BENDERS" talking the AL East O's heading to the EMERALD City for Four with the New M's #BALvsSEA #OsNation #MarinersGang

The Baltimore Orioles are playing their best Hardball of 2014 as they started to get hot mid-to late June and that has carried over into post All-Star Break. The O's are coming off an impressive showing vs the 60-40 Halos nearly missing the sweep vs the Halos. It has been the Starting Pitching along with 2014 Free Agent Pick-Up of the Year OF Nelson Cruz and "Adam Bombs" Jones leading the way at the Dish.

The Mariners are playing well enough to be in any Division Race except they reside in the AL West. The West is led by the 62-38 A's and 60-40 Halos do the math! The Spark Plugs for Ms Hardball in 2014 of course is Robbie Cano and "Kid Felix" Hernandez. Now they will play for with impact all over the AL!

The O's have Chen going in Game #1 but that Friday Match Up facing Kid Felix looms larger than a Rawlings Hardball as the O's brought good Ash, Maple, and Bamboo west with them!

The M's in my guesstimation would be right there if they had more than two Bats in that Line Up and that is something they need and will address at the 2014 Winter Meetings I am sure!
