Get your Baltimore Orioles tickets as soon as you can, sports fans, because some great divisional baseball excitement awaits you this weekend. The Orioles are certainly performing better than anyone thought they would this season. Even in the cellar of the AL East, they are only three games under .500. This young team is learning fast, and they have shown signs of life in recent days. While they are certainly uneven, they have surprised a few teams with their grit and determination. They definitely have what it takes to knock off the Red Sox on any given day. The Red Sox are riding high right now, fresh off a drubbing of the Orioles in their last series meeting. However, this time the Orioles will be out for the revenge, which may cause the BoSox to have to play on their heels a bit at first. However, for a team playing at such a high level as the Red Sox, it may not be an issue. Will the Sox beat up on the Orioles again? Or will the young team from Maryland stand up to the big bullies in the AL East? You’ll just have to get your Baltimore Orioles tickets to find out.

The Orioles one again occupy the bottom position in American League East. It seems absurd that such a proud franchise has been reduced to perennial cellar-dwelling as of late. Cal Ripken Jr. seems like a pleasant fading memory or even a very nice dream at this point. The Iron Horse was only recently breaking records and winning gold gloves in Baltimore, but those days are over now. Now the Orioles are rebuilding. They have chosen not to spend the big money of the Yankees or Red Sox. Instead, they have been developing their farm system and bringing up young players they believe will provide the foundation for a long, stable future for the franchise. While this has made for some lean years recently, this young team is starting to play up to their potential, much to the joy of Orioles fans everywhere.

The Red Sox are riding high after stumbling out of the gate. While everyone in Boston was busy scratching their heads early on the season, the Red Sox just put their heads down and powered through their slump. Now that Big Papi is getting hits again, it seems to have reinvigorated the whole team. Manny is certainly feelin’ it again, as he just jacked his 500th homer over the Green Monster last week. With the rest of Boston’s amazing cast of characters playing up to their ability, the Tampa Bay Rays need to look over their shoulder almost every day to make sure the Sox haven’t caught up to them in the AL East standings yet. While the defending World Series champs have their eyes on bigger prizes, they cannot take their focus away from the Orioles this weekend or they may lose ground in the race for the division.

What are you waiting for? This is the giant versus the underdog. What better storyline could you ask for? Get your Baltimore Orioles tickets right now!
