37-22 since June 1st, and they have a winning record against every AL East team except for the Bombers.
As much as I've grown to despise aspects of my favorite childhood sport, this is the magic of baseball. NO ONE saw this coming.
Last sports team to make a historic run that was unexpected might have been the Jaguars when they took the Patriots to the brink in the AFC Championship several years ago. But that Jags team had an incredible defense surrounding a horrid QB. It sort of made sense that they made a run...after all, the Ravens won a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer at QB.
You look at the Orioles lineup today and you think "god, this team has to really suck."
They just keep finding ways to pull wins out of their fannies.
