We should be able to at least win 2 of the games.

The Orioles have an improved bullpen, must not underestimate them.

well, here goes nothing. This rotation is a major question mark, hopefully Ortiz is rejuvenated. I like his control and the defense could potentially make him a 15 game winner

Ortiz is one of those high-risk medium-reward guys.

Erik Bedard is a stud...Santana is gonna have to pitch an avg. type Santana game to beat him

If Bedard's a stud, then what's Johan considered?

THE best pitcher in the game.
just saw an interesting fact that the twins have won there last 25 home games when Santana has made the start.
On the other side Here's a few of bedards numbers vs the twins from an article on the O's site.
The Twins beat Bedard twice last season, battering him around to a .395 batting average and 4.66 ERA. Bedard has actually never beaten Minnesota, but he's worked to a 1.64 ERA in his two starts at the Metrodome. Whatever the case, he won't sneak up on anyone. The Twins and every other opponent will pay a lot of attention to Bedard.

Santana is in his own dimension.

Brad Radke threw out the first pitch. We will win this one for Herb Carneal and Brad.

That was a great game to go to, I'm glad I skipped class. I was standing in line for a dome dog when Tejada got picked off, and the entire hallway cheered.

Haha, I ended up going to the game too. Terrible seats though, they were GA and I ended up sitting BEHIND the curtains in left. I'm gonna try to go to more games this year on the nights when they have the cheap dome dogs, hopefully they still have those.

I think rev was there too.
I'm pretty pissed about tonight. Usually when games are on my29 in Minnesota they put it on FSN in South Dakota. Tonight on FSN... the Timberwolves.
I love the Wolves, but they're killing me right now.
