Lucky in a game, maybe, but not an entire baseball season.

A team in last place or close for the past 5 to 10 years? I would said is LUCKY season. Look at Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Texas, Detroit, Yankees, SF, TB, Angels, St. Louis, Boston, LA Dogers, etc. teams that on time or another have been consistent for few years, NOT 1 year.

Until otherrwise they win the big game and continue for a few years and prove me wrong, Yes a call it LUCK!. Then I will give due were due is deserve.

NOTE: : The Baltimore Orioles have won the World Series three times: 1966 (Los Angeles Dodgers); 1970 (Cincinnati Reds); 1983 (Phillies).

Baseball seasons are too long to consider it luck.

And in the past ten years the Yankees have one World Series win. With the highest payroll in baseball that's not what I would call a good return for the money.

However, NYY has win the Division several years and been in the playoffs. When was the last time the O's participate in any playoffs?

NYY have won a Total of 27 World Series FYI!!!! Respect History.

Please spare me the pain about the highest payroll, however for all the injuries they had this year they have played better than what I expected.
Cry me a river, OK!

Because that is all you know about baseball, quote the same thing over and over and over.

Accept the reality, a Lucky season any team has one. Florida Marlins and other teams did in the past. This year is the O's and they could go to win the whole thing, so how knows... GL

You better start reading your own posts Jose. You brought up until they win the big game (World Series right?) and you brought up the Orioles World Series wins. I then bring up the fact that the Yanks have only one World Series win in the past ten years, now you switch it to just playoffs.

Not crying over the payroll issue, it's just a fact and I am fine with it. I am just not a fan of the Yankee fan superiority attitude when the fact is that the Yankees can afford to buy all the best players at crazy salaries. Lets see how good a team the Yankees can field with a 100M payroll.

I am impressed that you have determined my knowledge of baseball from a few posts here.

Regardless of what happens, The O's have had a great season (not a lucky one) and I expect the upswing to continue. Of course that is being said with my obviously limited baseball knowledge.

As you refered "I'm not a fan of the Yankee fan superiority attitude" = Yankee Hater!

I have been a fan of the Yankees since the 70's when Reggie Jackson hit 3 HRs in one game against the LA Dodgers in the WS. There is where he got the name Mr. October. I'm a real fan win or lose and I do not have an attitude of superiority.

And again there you go with the damn payroll again!!!!!!!!!

Yes, NYY has the biggest payroll for 2012, however there are 7 more teams that have a difference of only around $200,000 to $300,000 less on payroll than NYY. And a least three or four of them are not making it this year.

And without going to the playoffs you cannot make it to the WS...Duuuuhhhhh!!!

NYY might have only one WS in the last 10 yrs which is one more than the O's.

The whole issue is Consistenty year in and year out like the teams I mentioned before, something the O's have not done in years.

Talk about statistics/injuries, etc. and quit crying about payrolls....
