The Nationals and Orioles are both in first place

[James Ford]

...just had to say it and jinx them. Both will probably lose Sunday and drop out of first.

If they win hopefully you'll drop out of this board.

The same day as the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking. Surely not a coincidence.

The Nats are for real. Screw this second Wild Card bullshit, they're gonna win the division.

I'm a big Orioles fan, and I love looking at the standings right now

but, unfortunately, from experience, I fear this will be like the opening Fillmore schedule

and then...

[vansmack]

Yep.

The Angels are in last place and the Dodgers are in first, and I'm not the slightest bit worried.

That Nats starting rotation is legit, though.  A lot of questions on offense, but many parts to make a deal by midseason if they're still around.  The playoffs are a definite possibility.

The O's have no chance.  Zero.

I think the Nationals have a great team this year.

And I'm jealous.

Because I am an Orioles fan.

I do love these first few weeks though when the Orioles remember they play baseball.

[DeathFromAbove1979]

Didn't the O's start like 4-0 last season and everyone in Bmore shit their pants? We'll see where they are in another month.

[i am gay and i like cats]

it is baltimore.  it's like getting all excited because they finally opened a diet frozen yogurt shop, in hell.

Me, too.

The Nats have made the most of their draft picks and are now seen as a good place to play as they are a team on the rise.

The O's have squandered their picks for over a decade now and it's clear that just about nobody wants to play for a team that isn't going anywhere anytime soon.  Sad.

It's a 15-20 year rebuilding process.  Just be patient. 

After all, Angelos can't live forever.  Or can he?

I'm a Phillies fan so I've never been concerned about the Nats; until this year. They have a good rotation and better bats (at the moment) than the Phillies. If Harper pans out as planned and Utley/Howard don't return at 100% I'm thinking a 6th NL East Title is out of reach. I'm kind of worried about the Marlins (hitting combo of Reyes/Ramirez) too. I'll just keep telling myself that the first 10 games are not representative of an entire season. 

[Seth Hurwitz]

I just wish the O's would stay in it

they take an un-recoverable nosedive at some point every year

then they play well and...if only it weren't for that nosedive

and why is it that they are so stubborn about admitting that you simply can't use Kevin Gregg?

[Yada]

LOL @ you guys discussing standings 10 games into the season.

Come on now.

[Seth Hurwitz]

well we can't discuss it the last 10 days so get it while you can

[K8teebug]

The Orioles typically implode in July.

I just love baseball.  Of course I would freak out if we make the playoffs again, but I'm just so excited baseball is back.
