One thing I wonder with the Orioles is how their starting pitching will hold up...Having Tillman and Chen as your two best is very scary. That being said, an Orioles/Royals match-up should be very gritty. I really don't think the Tigers or Angels were prepared for what was coming their way.
I don't care who wins between the two...I like both teams...should be outstanding either way.

People should love the underdog. Don't forget most media outlets had the Orioles finishing last in the A.L. East. I don't understand the idea that the Orioles have horrible starting pitching. Our starters had a lower ERA than the "Big 3" of Detroit and are almost statistically even with Kansas City. The overall ERA is 7th in MLB. Perhaps the Orioles are getting overlooked because they ran away with the division? Regardless, they play much better with a chip on their shoulder.
