Orioles Clinch 1st Postseason Birth Since 1997

It's only a matter of time before the Baltimore Orioles learn their postseason fate. Now that the team has clinched a playoff spot, they'll need to see in their final two regular season games will they be a division champion or wildcard entry. The birds have an outside chance of over taking the Yankees for the American League Eastern Division title, however they could enter as a wildcard and face Oakland in a one game playoff to advance to the ALDS. No one expected Baltimore to make the 2012 MLB playoffs prior to the start of the 2012 season. Let alone with the AL East, especially with the Yankees, Red Sox and Rays as division foes. Kudos to the City of Baltimore, their fans and the organization. Let's see how long their postseason ride last after a 15 year playoff wait.
