Orioles taking flight?

I'm tempted to say that things are looking up for the Orioles right now, especially after winning the first two games of the series against the Yankees.

(Here's On the Yankee Beat's coverage of the game. via Ballbug.)

But then again, we're not out of May yet and last year the Orioles were 27 - 27 at the end of May, finishing up the month on a 5 game winning streak and in second place, 10 games behind the eventual World Champion Red Sox.

An 8 - 18 June was the first of three months in which the team didn't even play .350 ball. (They went 9 - 19 in August and 10 - 19 in September, too.)

So right now the question is: Is it an improvement that the Orioles are fighting for 4th place with the New York Yankees instead of the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays?
