They are my favorite team and I haven't followed them that much since it feels like we've sucked for forever since those solid teams that were making the playoffs in the mid 90's. At one point from 1988-1995 we had pitchers Curt Schilling, Kevin Brown, and Mike Mussina on our roster and never won anything with them lol. I also remember when there was a news report in 2006 that the O's might draft Jeffrey Maier, the kid who caught that controversial deep fly ball that ended up being a homer despite him interfering during the yankees playoff game and I was beside myself like what the hell is going on? lol
As just a casual observer, I was pleasantly surprised to see them have a nice record when I was looking at the standings today. Are they the real deal? How far do you think they are from winning the World Series? I know they have drafted high for years since they have sucked for so long, so is it just a culmination of them having a decent GM and building up talent from picking high in the draft/developing their farm system?
