This series: Baltimore - 3, Boston - 1

At Fenway this year: Baltimore - 4-1, Boston - 1-4

The season is still relatively young, and I actually despise the Yanks much more than the Red Sox; but the O's have been playing well - even now, with 3 starters injured.

PLus they actually have two infielders leading the all-star voting. Jeter is like 50,000 votes behind Tejada and Brian Roberts is leading Soriano by a couple of votes as well.

I voted all allowable 25 all-star votes for every member of the O's. This is not realistic, but Roberts and Tejada should definately get in. Did you see the game last night? They were listing the order in voting so far, and almost every Oriole starter was somewhere in the top 8 or 10!

Like I've said before, D.C. area sports (yeah yeah, B-more for the O's...but nobody's perfect) are starting to shine again -- let's hope the Skins follow the lead of the Wiz and the O's!

I'm so conflicted about the Orioles, I like them... yet am not allowed to at the same time.

lol

I think they paid too much for Tejada and helped spike the market for Cabrera and Renteria... that said I am so glad to see Brian Roberts finally become the player he was supposed to be, I guess it's the year for high draft picks to come out of their shells!

Anyway, I love the idea of building a "team" in baseball instead of just a mercenary group. With the Red Sox they may have spent some money but look around the diamond. Jason Varitek, Kevin Millar, Mark Bellhorn, Edgar Renteria, Bill Mueller, Manny Ramirez, Johnny Damon, Trot Nixon, and David Ortiz... all guys who give 100% all the time and who mostly have pretty solid overall games. There's even a few really amazing bargains in there!

When the won the World Series that's as good as it's ever going to get in sports I think... where is there to go but down? No offense but the Redskins could go 10-10 in Superbowls for the next decade and beat the Cowboys by 50 points at every meeting and it still wouldn't even bring a fraction of the absolute bliss that a Red Sox domination of the Yankees and World Series brought for me...

I think what SkinsFan55 meant by stating how about them Red Sox is that they just got done ruling the Yankees AGAIN!!! That game on Saturday.....I missed it, but when I first heard that the Red Sox got 27 hits I thought the game was something like 18 or 19 innings long, but when I saw that they got that many hits in just 9 innings.....Lets just say that I never laughed so hard in my life :lol:

.

The O's have surprised me this year. I knew their lineup was good, but I had some serious doubts about their pitching. Thats what has really surprised me about the O's. If their pitchers can stay healthy and keep going hard............its gonna be alot of fun watching the Red Sox and O's play in October

Ok, I was wrong. Dang.

The Red Sox homered to take the lead and the win in the bottom of the 9th with two outs. :cry:

In this series: Baltimore = 2-2, Boston = 2-2

This year at Fenway so far: Baltimore = 5-2, Boston = 2-5

MAN! The O's had that game won! I think that's the second blown save for BJ Ryan this year.

All star voting has become a joke. GArciapara has 235,899 votes and he's on the DL since april 20. And he was hitting lights out withg a .157 avg and ZERO home runs before he got injured. :roll:
