Fascinating Game Tonight

[Toonces]

When Mr. Pettitte retired, I thought "well there goes about 7 automatic O's loses per year." I was ecstatic. Then I heard it may be Rivera's last year and I thought "I'm really thinking we have a chance at reversing this streak soon." Even more ecstatic.

Then Andy comes out of retirement. I wouldn't be surprised if in his contract it stipulates 50% of his starts must be against the O's. (On a semi-serious note, when I heard Andy was coming out of retirement, I seriously thought it ment the O's hopes of .500 got seriously hit. I was so upset. Anyone check out his career stats against the O's lately?? Dear lordy...) Joking aside, I hold a strong hope that at the end of this year, the Orioles will have won more games then they lost against either NY or Bos. Baby steps...Baby steps.

The NYY could be in a funk into July before they start worrying unless there is an injury to CC, Jeter, ARod or Tex.

The Os have looked very good to start this season. We'll see if this can carry on for a while longer.

We haven't played Boston at all yet, so the notion of us going at least 10-8 against them is not necessarily a huge reach. But we already spotted the Yankees 4 games on us before tonight's win. In order for us to wind up going at least 10-8 or better against them this year, we would have to go at least 9-4 in the remaining 13 games that we have left with them. I'll be thrilled if we do that, but for now, I'm just happy that we just beat them, we're 15-9 overall, and going for 2-4 (overall against the Yankees) tomorrow night and a series win in their home park.

Very good point about NY. I put an either or in there because I thought the O's best off-season move was Boston hiring Bobby V.

Iam actually enjoying watching so far this season. Its scary but I'm actually considering ending my 10 years string of not attending a game.

You and me both Johnny. I'm enjoying this good start to the season and will go to a game (or 2 or 3) this season. My string is only 4 years but I'm going back.

Let's also not forget they are missing two big pieces right now with Swisher and Gardner out.

Lol. Really? Are we not "missing" Brian Roberts and Nolan reimold? Seriously. Yeah maybe gardner makes the play I left, but wow. They have an all star lineup regardless.

"The Orioles need to remain seething wombats"

May I use this as the title to tonight's article?
