After the initial of excitement of switching my fan-loyalties to the Nationals died down I began to worry. Had I made the right choice? I needed some reassurance. If only there was some easy way to compare the two teams...
O look it's the Grapefruit League!
The O's and Nat's are both in it so I'll just take a look at the standings and...
Orioles: 11-11, 8th place.
Nationals: 10-14, 11th place.
Uhh what?
Its alright. Its only spring training. This doesn't REALLY mean anything.
...Right?
Clearly, I'm going to have to run some numbers here.
Spring AL EAST: Spring NL EAST:
Blue Jays: 22-4 Marlins: 10-11
Yanks: 13-11 Philies: 12-14
Red Sox: 12-11 Nats: 10-14
O's: 11-11 Braves: 9-15
Rays: 8-16 Mets: 7-16
Well that makes me feel a lot better. The Nats would be right in the thick of things if this was the regular season. On top of that they are only 5 games back from being the best team in the NL this spring.
Maybe the O's should follow my lead and switch over to the NL?
