The hitting has really been great this year. Hardy, Wieters, Markakis, Jones, Beta...everyone is playing well at the plate.

Markakis hasn't even really been hitting as well as you can generally expect from him (last night's timely dinger notwithstanding). If the pitching holds up, and some of the hitters can raise their averages, we're really going to be in business.
I agree with this but from what I've seen of Chen you are going to get what you see. My concern with Chen is when the game hits the 5th inning. His ball seems to steadily rise in the zone. By the time the 7th rolls around he is throwing belt high 91 mph fastballs that teams will feast on.
I think once his stamina and body gets use to pitching every 5th day he will be good a number 2 on any team. That's just my opinion on his potential.

These guys aren't that bad for a team that can't beat a community college team.
It's becoming a little scary- this game is only the 3rd O's game I've ever watched (it's live in England) and we've won every one of them!
I'm beginning to think I can drop the cautious from my cautious optimism.
Of course as soon as I say that they decide to make it interesting.
5 in a row! 13 games over .500! MLB best 15-5 on the road!
i dont think buck will let the wheels come off, but they could come back to "normal" and finish .500. anything over is gravy :) go O's
p.s. i wish they bring back this logo

Awesome start for the O's. Some people will say "They start off good every
year and fall off." But here is something they never start off good
with,winning games on the road.
