New Beginnings (Well not new, but at least 10 years old)

The last time the Baltimore Orioles started the season 6-1 was back in 1998, which, if i'm not mistaken, was the year after the Orioles were defeated in Game 6 of the ALCS against Cleveland.  Also, former Manager of the Year Davey Johnson was fired, even though he took the Orioles to 2 consecutive ALCS appearances, because of his hostile relationship with Peter "Don't Wake Me" Angelos.  By the end of the year, the Orioles finished up with a disappointing 79-83 record, after losing several players to injuries and being poorly managed by former Pitching Coach Ray Miller.
