Oriole Magic is back!

[JohnKleeb]

15-7 for the month of April, I think this is real!
:bounce:
I just got the feeling that something wondeful is gonna happen.

1. I especially love the orioles they put out around Christmas

the ones dipped in the white frosting. Oriole magic at its best!

2. That's 16-7 for April for the Os, and they're 14-4 against the AL East.

If you're an Orioles fan (and I know you are JohnKleeb) I'd say something wonderful IS HAPPENING for the Os.

Whether or not it will last all season---who knows?

But, for right now, I say enjoy the ride, Baltimore is tearing up the Division. :)

3. I'm happy for them!!!

It's refreshing to finally see someone else besides the Sox and Yankees on top of the AL East.

4. Ditto.

If my Jays can't challenge the Bosox and Yankmes for the whole season, I'd certainly like to see the O's do it.

5. good game tonight btw Jays

was bummed at the end result but it happens.

6. Only caught about 2 minutes of it before my 3 year old started...

demanding we watch a different sport on TV. ("Basketball! Hockey! Basketball! Hockey! Basketball! Hockey!" etc.) I was happy to see from the boxscore that Chacin had yet another solid outing, Vernon Wells brought his batting average above .200, and that the bullpen didn't throw the game away. Chacin's having a great year. So far he's putting up much better numbers than say Mike Mussina and getting paid about 50 times less to do it.

'Tis also cool to see the O's and Jays are now sitting 1st and 2nd respectively in the AL East.

8. Your 3 year old sounds like me!

"I want Hockey, I want Hockey!" It's not working, though. :(

Congrats to the O's! They're on fire right now!

7. Nice to see

I remember the whole Orioles Magic thing from when I was a kid. Mike Devereax hitting another big home run. It looks like they finally put together a good mix of talent. But I've seen a few good Phillies first halves go south, so I'm cautious here. :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

9. Thanks

but whenever they've gotten off to a start like this, they go far :).

10. I worry that their pitching will be figured out

Some of it is it new to the opposition. We'll see if they make good moves around the All-Star break. That's often a turning point.

[JohnKleeb]

11. Actually the pitching staff is the same from last year

Its nothing new really.
Lopez was here last year, Cabrera, Ponson, Bedard, only one whos only sorta new is Chen and hes been with us since late August.

[mvd]

12. Ok, thanks - it seemed like there were new names

We have to hope then that they are all having great seasons. That makes me worry in another way. :-)

[JohnKleeb]

13. Its the pen thats new, no problemo

[mvd]

14. One final thought

I think the Os will have a better record than the Yankees, and if they do come down to earth a little later, they still should make the playoffs. I'm thinking of giving up on the Phillies and just following the Orioles.

Have a nice night. :hi:

15. The way things are doing, I think they could even get the division

I hope so.
