Can Orioles exit Ragans and Royals in a short series?

It’s taken a year for the Baltimore Orioles to get back to the baseball that matters. Luke Jones and Nestor get Birds fans ready for October and sudden death baseball with Kansas City Royals. Gotta win Game 1 and Corbin Burnes vs. Cole Ragans is a good one.

Who is ready to be an October hero for Orioles?

Dear Steve Bisciotti: Ask Chad Steele what he thinks I said about Sage so I can tell Ravens fans why I was really exterminated

“What did do you do wrong, Nestor?” “Why would the Ravens throw you out?” “Why are you the only one in the local media whom they’ve thrown out?” “Why have they treated you this way?” “WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG!?!” I am fed up with these questions from Baltimore sports fans so I wrote to the owner because these questions are his to answer. Letters to John Harbaugh and Eric DeCosta are also coming soon.
