Yes I know it's still early!!
But give us O's fans a break. We don't get this often, and it's been a long time for us to be excited about things.

MAN IT'S Been a great opening for the O's.
We are 6-2 now. (took 2-3 from both the Spankees & Rays)
Roberts, Markakis, & Jones are just producing!!
ANd our guys on the verge of breaking into the scene are doing well!!

BUT... Snyder & Reimold are just CRUSHING it right now.

Reimold went 3-4 tonight and is hitting .412

Snyder went 3-4 as well with a homer. He's hitting .476

It's good to be an O's fan right now.
Pretty excited.
Haters keep hating, but give us our 5 minutes. It feels nice.

I agree with you 100% Russ, I am enjoying it as long as it lasts.

I'm a Jays fan and it is sure is nice to see the O's and Jays at the top instead of the Sox and Yankees. Like you, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Saw last night's game... Man, what a close one! We need to improve our long-inning relievers.
Pie looks better than he has been with the Cubs. If he continues to produces, then when is Reimold coming out???

Snyder could end up at first base someday? I don't really see him at outfield.

Matusz hasn't played yet?

If they can keep this up, Wieters-mania will be even MORE crazy when they finally pull the trigger.

That was a crazy game - some serious defense by the O's to save the game!

Matusz is in Frederick right now - he started once last week (4/9) and his line was ok (4.2 ip 2er 5h/2bb/4k). He should have another start coming up either tonight or tomorrow.
