Orioles win AL East title.
BALTIMORE (AP) The Baltimore Orioles won their first AL East crown since 1997, using home runs by Steve Pearce and Jimmy Paredes to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-2 Tuesday night before a boisterous crowd of 35,297 at Camden Yards.
With their ninth win in 10 games, the Orioles clinched their second playoff appearance in three years following a run of 14 consecutive losing seasons.
Afterward, the Orioles converged behind second base, fireworks soared in the outfield and streamers sprayed throughout the crowd. The party continued in the clubhouse, where players happily sprayed champagne and beer on each other.
''The guys are having a great time, and they earned it,'' said Dan Duquette, Baltimore's executive vice president of baseball operations. ''We've got some more work to do, and these guys know it, but congratulations to them on the division crown. They did a great job.''

I'd ever see that.
He really is a d-bag, but it's not the players' fault. 
When the hell did he leave the Sox?
