Show StopperIf the season started Aug. 3, 2010, when Buck Showalter took over the O's.
Team W-L GB
1. Orioles 38-23 --
2. Blue Jays 32-27 5
3. Yankees 32-29 6
4. Rays 30-30 7 1/2
5. Red Sox 29-30 8
Showalter is getting a lot of credit for the success, rightly, but he knows the Orioles still have work to do; the evolution must continue if Baltimore is going to contend seriously against the Yankees and Red Sox. They need more pitching, more consistency in the offense. Showalter told the players at the outset of spring training that the winter work of the front office was finished, and that the managers and the coaches can only do so much; it comes down to the players.
On Monday, the Orioles' players were good. Roberts mashed a pivotal home run, his second of the season, and yet again the pitching was good; Baltimore's ERA in the first four games is a clean 1.00, and the staff has held opponents to a .152 average.
It's a start.
Honestly, I just want the team to finish over .500
That would be a HUGE step in the right direction. They've responded well to Buck and it's easy to see that the culture of the team has changed since he came on board. I waswhen I turned on the O's/Tigers game on Monday and saw the crowd.

You're really not worried about the Red Sox? Yea there off to a rough start, but I wouldn't count them out yet.
At the end of the day they're still the Orioles.

Although I'm happy for the O's "so called" success so far this year let's look back on this thead in late May and see where they stand.

4-0 start is really nothing to toot your horn over...but in looking at the #'s since Buck took over, how can you not be somewhat optimistic?
Like I said...I just want the team to finish over .500 this season.
