The Orioles are either going to be the best team in the AL East this season, or the worst, according to respondents of "It's Your Call."

Although a slim majority (23 percent) picked the Orioles to finish third, 21 percent of the respondents gave the AL East pennant to the home team while 17 percent -- the next highest total -- put it in the basement.

The remaining votes among the 425 responses broke down this way: second place, 14 percent; fourth place, 10.5 percent; fifth place, 6.5 percent; and sixth place 8 percent.

"It's Your Call" represents a sampling of opinions from certain segments of the community, but it is not balanced demographically, as would be done in a scientific public opinion poll.
