How come people here haven't been talking about the hottest team in baseball?

Question

Now, I know that the Baltimore Orioles are way out of the playoff race, but they've won eight of nine since Showalter became the manager. In that stretch they swept the Angels and took three of four from the White Sox. Every aspect of the game seems to have improved. Whatever Showalter did to get those boys going, I'm liking it.

BQ: Could the Orioles be next year's breakout team?

? · Accepted Answer

Yup, this is exactly why I was calling for Lou Piniella's head back in May.  Change is always a good thing for a team that can't seem to win baseball games.  The players are beliving they can win, and that's 1/2 the battle. 

BQ: No.  I mean, they could win like 73-74 games next year, but I honestly don't see the talent on that team to win any more than that. Buck is a great manager that has never gotten enough respect.

Probably because they would have to pretty much win every game for the rest of the season to even see an outside shot at the wild card, but Buck sure has put the Fear of God in them boys huh?

I had predicted the O's would be this year's breakout team, might have missed it by a year.

yes i think they could be very good the rest of the season and into next season especially since they have a young team. however, winning the AL east will be very difficult because that would make all 5 teams contenders of some sort. but itd be cool to see them do well, as they have been. lets go O's
