Perhaps the Orioles are getting overlooked because they ran away with the division? Regardless, they play much better with a chip on their shoulder.

You are right...because they ran away with the AL East, the attention isn't there. As far as their pitching goes...I'm just saying that I believe their starters are vulnerable. Tillman isn't an ace, Chen isn't an ace...seems like they have a bunch of #3 type rotation guys and we could see this come to a head in the upcoming series or the World Series if they make it.
