You really need to @Moose Milligan and @Can of Corn to get their true sentiments more rapidly but you, my friend, are not one of the true prospects here, alas!  But I commend you for speechifying and raising the glass!    I do love your posts, however!  *sigh*  #mancrush 

I saw it almost as soon as it was posted but I was too overwhelmed by the sentiment to respond.

If it's not a whole bunch of us in here have lost out damn minds!

Dont worry, Baseball Prospectus has us in first place by .002 pts ahead of the Rockies.

I think all of baseball learned around the same time that without PEDs that long contracts are dumb. Unless, you’re locking up your young players and buying out their first 2+ FA seasons. 

Homers, a dominant bullpen, and a good manager only got us so far. Now we’re just devoid of pitching talent. We keep trying to dip down to AAA but those guys aren’t even 4A talent level. 

Keeping Buck and DD would have been just using a rake. Hiring Elias and tanking is the backhoe we needed. 

I think we are on the same page 100%

Their performance so far tonight has rekindled my faith in their abilities. No hits through 3. Awesome.

What do you expect?  The Red Sox starters came into today's game with an 8.78 ERA.  The Oriole bats aren't made of miracles.  Have to expect them to struggle a bit against that kind of dominance.

Just when I thought it was going to be okay, Davis has 3 hits and somehow the Orioles play below expectations. This team needs to wake up, get out of the slump. Bullpen puts away the Red Sox, too. The Os are now 3 games behind the Marlins and Royals. We are letting this beautiful opportunity slip away.

Are you forgetting about the Rockies? They have  the worst record in MLB at 3-12.

Remember how bad the Reds were early last season?  It isn't about how bad you are in April.  It's a marathon not a sprint.

Off day for Chris Davis, hopefully not a trend as he has been red hot

The things I do like about our team. Like stealing, bunting, hit and run. Buck didn't like doing that. If we can't hit then it's time to play small ball.

I have no fear of the Royals finishing worse than us.  This team is destined for worst record in baseball.  1-7 in last 8 games.  162 game seasons tend to put you at your level.

I'm sure you realize that going 1-7 during some part of the regular season is rather meaningless.

The 1983 Orioles had two 7 game losing streaks.
