2. Quote from the movie 12 Angry Men:
Juror #7: You a Yankee fan?

Juror #5: No, Baltimore.

Juror #7: Baltimore? That's like being hit in the head

with a crow bar once a day.

3. You might to want to get out of the way of the Seahawks fans.
There's going to be a stampede.

8. Ah yes...
but the Nats won't always be. The O's are fucked until Pete A. is in a pine box...longer if the next generation of Angelos idiots don't sell. The O's problems aren't financial, they're mismanagement. For all the talk you hear about small-market...the O's are in the top third of the league in revenues and third in the AL East in revenues...and are in the running every year for the worst team in the AL East.

I feel bad for O's fans.

12. Thankfully, I hedged my bets.
I followed three teams this year...the Orioles, Marlins and Rays.

The Orioles...well, they were the Orioles. But I've got to love them. It's just in my blood.

The Marlins gave me a little to cheer about but just couldn't get it done in the end.

The Rays? I'm telling you, they are headed to the World Series.

after we traded all our good hitters (other than McClouth and Doumit) :banghead:


At least our long-suffering alum Jason Bay was able to help out the Red Sox and score the winning run. That seems to be the closest we have got (by one remove) to the play-offs any time lately. :cry:

10. I am a Marylander, born in Baltimore.
The Orioles suck, they have since the late 1980s. That's just the fact.
We need to get rid of Peter Angelos aka Peter Diablos. :puke:
