“We’ve already had more fun than at anytime last year,” Huff said after Baltimore’s sixth straight victory, 8-1 on Tuesday to ruin the Texas Rangers’ home opener.
Huff matched a career high with four hits and drove in four runs after Scott Moore and Luke Scott hit early home runs in the first road game for the Orioles (6-1), who have the American League’s best record. The winning streak already equals their longest of last season.
“We had six (last year)? It didn’t feel like it,” said Huff, referring to the 93-loss season when they finished fourth in the AL East for the ninth time in 10 years. “We’re relaxed. Everybody’s written us off.”

Rangers owner Tom Hicks left his field-level seats in the top of the third inning, only minutes before the start of Liverpool’s game against Arsenal in the European Champions League. Hicks owns the Liverpool squad, and retreated to his bunker suite to watch that game, though it was still on the television he has at his field seat.

1. Pat Rapper's Delight Posted: April 08, 2008 at 10:59 PM (#2735724)Probably just jonesing for a game where 3 scores is a rout of epic proportions, not runs tacked on at the end to make the score look somewhat more respectable.
If he could just combine the Rangers offense (5 runs/game) with Liverpool's defense (0.76 goals/game)... that's what, about a 158-4 pace over a full season?
Also this was their second win by a starting pitcher. Boo-yah!
Not by mass. Or volume.
Today? Absolutely. The Liverpool game was great (and I'm not a Liverpool fan).
Or salary....
I do love this about sports.
The Brewers are also 6-1 now, if that helps any.
