3-0 Home Opener!

With less than an hour until Earl Weaver throws the opening day pitch at Camden Yards, the excitement amongst Orioles' fans is certainly higher than its been in a long time, I look forward to the home opener every year, but am usually disappointed. However, I feel this year is special, this is the year the Baltimore Orioles become a serious team in major league baseball. The pressure is on Jake Arrieta, who will be throwing against the 1-2 Detroit Tigers, who lost their opening series to the Yankees. It will be a tough game, as Detroit has some heavy hitters in Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez, who the Orioles failed to sign this offseason. I'm expecting a solid performance out of Jake Arrieta, but he will definitely need the run support. I'm also fairly confident that the Orioles bats will deliver today against Rick Porcello, who went 10-12 last year with a 4.92 ERA, the bats shouldn't be outmatched, but at this point I just hope for a well played game from everyone. Let's cherish this image and keep racking up the W's! Let's go O's!
