Their first test would have been the first game of the season. They are off to a good start, don't treat them like the '85 Bears.
The White Sox are in first in the Central, the Blue Jays are right on the Os heels and the Yankees (while losing to the Royals as I type) are the Yankees. Those 3 teams are better than Tampa/Seattle/Texas. A lot of people despite the hot start are discounting it due to who they've faced, so if they can play well next week then things might be more serious. As for me, Im just enjoying seeing the Os play the best baseball Ive seen them play in a really long time.
And the Orioles havent started 6-1 since 1998 (they started 7-1 that year) which was year 1 of the 10 year slide. Theyve already matched the longest winning streaks they had last year (which they did twice, aided by sweeps of the Royals and D-Rays).
