Can we all see some light at the end of the tunnel. There is nothing like a 5 game winning streak to awaken sleeping fans. I like the tweaking of the lineup and substitutions Trembley is making. Everyone seems to be participating in the resurgence of this team. Now if we could play the NL East every day. Brian Roberts seems to be popping out of his lathargic hitting and fielding streak. Jeremy Guthrie pitched like the #1 starter he is supposed to be out dueling Cole Hamels. WHAT A WEEKEND!!!!

There are those who might say the Orioles current 5 game winning streak ( 2 vs. Mets-3 vs. Phils) is tainted because the Mets have more injuries than Heinz has varieties and the Phils are in a tailspin losing 8 of 9 on their just concluded homestand. One thing you need to do is beat bad teams or teams going bad and that’s exactly what the Orioles did this past week. It may not be as impressive as if they had swept the Dodgers and won 2 of 3 from the Red Sox but a win against a floundering team is worth the same as win vs. a first place team. The Orioles are starting to learn how to win. And how about Robert Andino who just keeps getting better every game. On the downside Luke Scott is 3 for his last 19 including striking out with the bases loaded and with runners on 1st and 3rd Saturday and striking out 3 times yesterday. Here’s hoping “Phil” gets hot at Bethpage and wins the U.S. Open.
