Can_of_corn Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Didn't read the article because it's a silly question. They were a playoff team last season, didn't lose anyone of importance to the team and none of their key guys are big regression candidates. Why wouldn't they be contenders? Who is he going to tackle next, the Red Sox or the Cardinals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA-ORIOLE Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 So who are we rooting for here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFFNY Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 So who are we rooting for here? I'm rooting for the Floridians. I don't root for the Yankees or the Red Sox at all for the first 5 and-a-half months of the season, and will only begrudgingly root for them in the final 2 weeks of the season if it so happens to help the Orioles' playoff chances. The reason being is that the season is so long, and too much can happen in the first 90-95 % of the season for me to give up my luxury of always rooting against our 2 hated rivals.

CA-ORIOLE Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 6 runs in the first 4 innings so far.Nova's E.R.A. is up to 7.40. I guess the punchless Rays have an offense after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
