   In response to Jeff Heatwole's question, "Do the O's have a chance?" my
answer is: possibly.  The loss of Flanagan will eventually hurt, and as I said
in an earlier posting, to expect both Lynn and Lacy to have big years at their 
"advanced career state" ( read age ) may be asking too much.  I also think 
their bullpen is a little weak.  I am a dyed-in-the-wool O's HATER - they have
been the Tiger's nemesis for too many years now (-: .  Seriously, I do expect
them to be in the race, at least until late August-early September, if not
longer.
  
No cerebral signoff,
