Your Baltimore Orioles.

Good for them! I'm always in favor of successful teams in Baltimore, Boston, Toronto, and Tampa.

Christ , they're 6 - 1.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 09 2008 02:30 PM

Six in a row too. They can't be stopped. We beat them in spring training over and over.

Luke Scott is batting .500, Aubrey Huff is slugging .667 and Steve Trachsel toes the rubber tonight after getting a win in his first game goign 5 2/3 and giving up two earnies. Trachs was traded to Chicago last season for the stretch run, played terribly and rejoined the O's in the offseason. That's just so Baltimore.

i wonder - do they say 'welcome a-trachsel' in chicago? no, probably not.

Their pen is practically un-scored upon.

On the subject of small samples skewing early results, not only are the Orioles still tops in the AL East (by 2-1/2 Games!!) but three other divisons are also being led by teams picked by many to be cellar dwellers: Marlins, Cardinals & Royals - KC is 5-0 against Tigers & Yanx (one more vs NYY tonight) after they probably would have settled for 2-3 if offered the choice pre-season Only the two west divisions are currently headed by logical choices: Arizona & Anaheim

Royals look pretty darn good. Joakim Soria, in addition to having one of the coolest names in MLB history, is unscored and unwalked upon currently, and has 4 saves already.
