Orioles in 1st place

[ChuckS]

The Red Sox SP is who we thought they were.

I was NOT impressed with the Red Sox pitching in this series. I WAS impressed that, even with the injuries to JJ, Wieters, Schoop, that THIS team has very solid "place holders". Paredes, Cabrera, Caleb Joseph(he's been more than placeholder). Today it was Flaherty and Snider.This team has a lot of options and depth right now looks VERY competent.

Yep, good point Roy. This team has ridiculous depth, and high quality depth. They are going to have some very tough decisions to make coming up when the injured group starts to return, which will likely trim the depth a little. There are no slugs on this 25 man.

And now because you said that, their pitcher will throw a complete game shutout... or perfect game.

This can't be. Everyone knows they did not improve the team during the off-season because Duquette was being fitted for snowshoes and refused to return phone calls.

They are who we thought they were. I don't see how they can feel too confident about their chances when Porcello is their "ace."

FINALLY Ortiz gets tossed #disrespectful #zipitOrtiz @Orioles @masnOrioles? Jim Palmer (@Jim22Palmer) April 19, 2015

Didn't think I could love Palmer more but apparently I was wrong! Headed over to Twitter for a follow now.....

I hate when folks just use facts to defuse the good storylines.

Not a WORD on mlb.com about Ortiz. They don't even have a Wrap and video of our game. "Red Sox ready for healing on Patriots Day."

Is that what they ended up paying him?

David Ortiz is teflon. And now he has his buddies on the team, Han-Ram and the Panda. Gonna be fun watching them be rude and piss off fans/players of other teams.

We'll see how much exposure the Orioles get by the All Star break. If you win in baseball, eventually you cannot be ignored. Too many games to cover.

Yes. It's a lot of money.

Not to sound like an entitled NY or Boston fan.... but it does feel like we belong there now.

Yeah, come to think of it, the title of this thread does sound pretty entitled. I'd rather keep things a little more low key. Not too big of a big deal though.
