Low? Low?!!!! What you talkin' about, low?
Their magic number is 156. And you'd better believe every Orioles fan knows it. After 10 years of purgatory, the baseball gods gave the Birds a week to remember to open 2008, as they completed a four-game sweep of Seattle on Monday to improve to 5-1 and remain in SOLE possession of first place in the AL East. Someone posting under the handle "Aubrey Huff" chimed in on the blog at roanoke.com under my quick thought from last Monday, an Opening Day loss-inspired rant headlined "Optimism low for Orioles." Huffs post? "Dont look now...but the Os are 3-1!!" Know what? Huffs right. Scrap that previous post. Optimism is HIGH for the Orioles. Crazy, irrational, loony-bin, never-gonna-last high. And I love it. -- Aaron McFarling
