When Pessimism Fails

The Orioles not only beat the Twins, but they won a game:

1) After placing 2 key players on the DL -- corner outfielders Sammy Sosa and Luis Matos.
2) Against Johan Santana, who hasn't lost since sometime in the middle of last season and though he didn't get the loss, still... he didn't win.
3) Behind the offensive prowess of... Larry Bigbie, B.J. Surhoff, and Jay Gibbons (Tejada, Mora, Roberts, Lopez who???)

Dare I start believing?
