[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 733145, member: 322"] Well the O's are 5-2-1 (5 wins, 2 losses, 1 moral victory blown lead. O's fans need to count moral victories.) O's took Red Sox 2-1, got swept by Yankees 0-2 (with one blown lead late) and swept Rays 3-0. Of course, I now expect the season to be called since the O's are doing well with their retread players.
