The Orioles' sixth straight win extended their American League-best record to 6-1, their best start since they began the 1998 season with a 7-1 mark. In winning six straight, the Orioles have accomplished something in the season's first week that they did just twice all last year...
"This has been great," said second baseman Brian Roberts, who had an RBI single. "Winning is always fun."

the only reason to even pay attention to the first month of the season is for fantasy baseball purposes

I don't follow baseball at all really, but haven't they had a good start the past couple of years? Or maybe it was just last year, but I remember O fans getting excited and realizing that it was for nothing.

Why haven't the Tigers fired Leyland yet? They canned Phil Garner when he started 0-6 one year.

I think I can quote our Athletic Director and answer your question at the same time! "Its not always about wins and loses."

Getting excited about your baseball team in April is fine but really it is sort of like a race across the country on a bike and getting a 5 minute head start. There is way, way, way too much ground to be covered to call any lead significant at this stage of the race. Go Phillies!
