The Orioles are 12 games back after the first month of the season. How many games back of the division leader will the finish? I will say 57.

    Same with the Pirates, Reds, and Royals.

    Reds and Royals have quite a few good, young players. time to consolidate them and the pirates into one good young team image though they will still need a 5th starter lol.

    That is the easiest question I have ever heard; Peter Angelos happened.

    Angelos

    History has taught us that when the biggest ego is in the owner's box the team is doomed. Do you remember the look on Angelos's face when he was booed on September 06, 1995 because no one wanted to hear his long winded B.S.; they just wanted to hear Ripken. I remember; I will never forget it. The best that can happen to the O's is Angelos selling the team.image

    But as soon as the Royals prospects start to break out and near arbitration eligibility, they're traded for more prospects...

    Gotta love baseball's economics.

    The correct answer is 30 games back.

    You were close, lol, may have been right if they had stuck with Samuel or Tremblay. Orioles have some talent, tough division and Angelos the problem, hard to use the division as an excuse with the way the Rays are playing. However looks like there last ditch effort, Crawford not returning and some others pricing themselves out with good play and attendence issues. Guess it goes back to Angeloss.
