Are the Baltimore Orioles for real???

[JMobile]

These guys come in and kick arse. Stand in First place in the most solidify division of the Majors. Been betting against them and looking at a reload real soon. The degen life.


For your time:

[LostBankroll]

dont worry they will come down to grace soon enough. I must say.......





IM GAY FOR MY BALTIMORE ORIOLES....

Im just hoping we can finish ahead of the Jays this year.

[rm18]

Great hitting but probably weak in all other aspects

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Any Orioles fans want to buy my Adam Jones M's Jersey? Worst sportswear purchase of my life...barely wore the thing before the man was gone..a damn shame.

Their bullpen is a mess and Johnson is not an MLB calibre closer. Eventually it's going to start costing them games.

No disrespect keyboarding, but not sure what you mean by this. I wouldn't say they have a great pen but they've been doing pretty well IMO. L10 games... 2.38 ERA, 3.13 xERA, 3.88 FiP, 1.24 WHIP, ratio of 59:20 Gb/Fb. They did get swept by the Yanks and lost 2 in overtime but have won all the other series and is 2-0 vs CWS with 2 more games to go in this series. Johnson also has converted all 5 of his save opps. Granted its still early in the season but not really much to complain about "yet" on their bullpen. Baltimore as a whole has been making me $$ so far. Now that I've said that, watch, later today... bullpen gets shelled. Hunter may get a shot at beating Peavy tomorrow and give Balt the win in this series then Hammel will probably get shelled vs Floyd IMO. Regardless how this turns out, that's my take on Balt. Good luck on your plays bro.

Not for real.
Pitching is below average
Errors in fielding
Batting is ok
Very tough division

They started 8-0 last year and well

[jbart28]

Jim Johnson has great stuff but he must pitch ahead or he is very predictable. That late action high 90's fastball and sinker is pretty nasty

[warriorfan707]

lmao funny thread

no chance in hell they even sniff winning that division

they will be lucky to win 75 games

I am a Yankees Fan but I will bet you they finish higher than the red sox if you feel so strongly about them being bad.

Oh, and your tag line above your AVI is a bet that is drawing dead 10 games into the season. If you wanna bet that one too lemme know. I'm on the under for even money.

Giants are drawing rigamortis. Lincecum has a torn UCL and doesnt know it yet. He will have an MRI by the end of the month-

O'S MAGIC BABY

jbart, what's up with this torn UCL on Lincecum? Should I ship him immed in my fantasy league?

[taxe91]

they arent for real. but they are definitely capable of putting good streaks together. at the end of 2010 when buck showalter came on board they were one of the best teams in baseball.

im a sox fan and i'll take that bet. you must be kidding yourself

[juuso]

Good team, but plays in the toughest division. If pitching performs well, they might surprise many, but playoff spot is most likely out of the question.

[jbart28]

Get rid of Timmay now before he has no value. If you wait you will end up with Jamie Moyer which isnt bad.

Timmay will be on the DL within his next 5 starts.

All indications are his elbow is messed up. Not throwing sliders, velocity and command off-

[jbart28]

We can do a transfer on 5d at the end of the year if u wanna

Bobby Valentine is a cancer. He must be replaced. The booze brothers will tank until the front office has no choice but to get rid of him.

[HOT WINGS]

Seems like the O's always start good before completely falling off in June/July

You bring up being a Yankees fan as if it makes you more credible with this call.

[RubberKettle]

Why Not Version 2?

I doubt it, but never know.

[oiler]

did the same thing last year and still finished near the bottom,so dont get excited,they will finish near bottom

[fergie's balls]

so far their OPS vs Lefties is 2nd best in baseball, they are smashing lefties. only TB better. Tampa #s vs lefties is off the charts.

[keyboarding]

Granted its still early in the season but not really much to complain about "yet" on their bullpen.

I don't see that bullpen keeping them winning as the season progresses. When Kevin Gregg was the potential closer if Johnson struggled out of the gate you know you have problems.

[LostBankroll]

Os babie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ron29301]

Bmore O's all the way. We are ready this year. Keep fading all you want.

[face]

got a bunch of guys that can hit and a crappy bullpen. anything can happen any game with them i guess.

[Gamble32jn]

dude....jmobile its time to post a nudie!!!! I aint gonna ask again....we ALL wanna see one....lmao

[face]

yea just when you start to think "the o's are pretty good" they start to lose every game in the summer

[JMobile]

dude....jmobile its time to post a nudie!!!! I aint gonna ask again....we ALL wanna see one....lmao

LOL, I can PM you the name. Lots of her on the web.


Anyways, anyone faded the O's today? They are on board already in the 2nd inning

[taxe91]

I don't even use 5 dimes..

Also is nobody correct the guy who said they went 8-0 last year? Pretty sure no team has done that in years.. Let alone the crappy orioles

[JMobile]

I faded the Orioles today....

[jbart28]

No just is supposed to help get me the bet I want since a thinking bettor would think I just hate the red sox and am betting out of hatred/emotion. level 2 thinking does exist on this site by some

[homerbush]

I bet the red sox wish they could have lindstrom and johnson in the 8th and 9th.

[MatI]

Obviously a genius at work here.

[billysink]

I do not think they are any better than 75-77 wins in the long run. But that will be more than enough for me.

[JMobile]

Taking the O's today with T.Hunter on the mound at home vs the Jays.

[Brock Landers]

Hunter was horrible his last time out
Jays are good on the road
