The firing of manager Brandon Hyde notwithstanding, this season is over for the Baltimore Orioles.
The Orioles would have to play .600 baseball the rest of the way in order to have a slim chance of passing the 12 American League teams now ahead of them in the standings to be a Wild Card playoff team.
As my Little League manager once told my team: "It ain't happening for us, boys. Maybe we'll be better next year."
