>Lynn is only 34 years old and Lacy 36,
OK-I'll take back what I said about Lynn's age after seeing the start he's
off to.  I still think hitting in the same lineup with Murray and Ripken has
helped immensely(wouldn't it help anyone?).
  
>The O's pitching staff is by far the best in the major leagues...
Here I must definitely disagree-I feel Detroit's starters ( Morris, Petry,
Terrell, Wilcox ) compare with ANY starting staff in the bigs.  Juan Buerenger
is a sometime dependable 5th arm.  As far as the bullpens compare-I'll take 
Hernandez, Lopez, and Doug Bair over your three anytime.
  
>I think they had a lucky year in 1984...
You cannot imagine hoe sick and tired I am of hearing this statement.  They
won those games, didn't they?  I will agree their start was amazing, but they
still had to perform just like anyone else would.
  
The O's are definitely tough in September-if they're close by September 1, it
will be interesting.  I am also worried about Toronto.  But I still must say-
Go Tigers!!
