6. Baltimore Orioles (14-8, last week No. 13): Wilson Betemit's three-run homer in the ninth made winner of O's on Sunday. Is that some kind of freaky omen?

7. Atlanta Braves (14-8, last week No. 7): Tim Hudson won Sunday in his return from surgery. Maybe we wrote the Braves off too fast?

8. New York Yankees (12-9, last week No. 6): Big AL East clash this week with Orioles. What is this, 1996?
For some reason this sentence, from the NY Daily News MLB Power Rankings, made me very happy.
