RELEASE QUINTON McCRACKEN!

I can't possibly be the only person who hears the line "Release the Kraken" from the new Clash of the Titans and thinks of former Colorado Rockie and Arizona Diamondback Quinton McCracken... can I?

BALTIMORE... TAMPA BAY... A CLASH OF TITANS!

The first place Tampa Bay Rays went into Baltimore to play the Orioles, who are also in first place.



Read that sentence again.
Trust me it was strange to type.

Yeah I know it is early... but not THAT early.
It's April... but it's late April. If the Orioles sweep the Rays, they will go into May no worse than tied for first place.

If you told me that the Rays and Orioles would be tied for first at any point in the season, I would have assumed they were both 1-0.

Man... if both the Rays and Orioles are actually good, what would that do to the Yankees and Red Sox who need those 18 games against Tampa and 18 against Baltimore to beef up their win total.

Well, this is a clash of titans... without that strange mechanical owl.
