Nats making jim palmer eat his words

[LiveStrongSkins]

I remember before the season started there was a big segment on comcast about the nats/os. Jim palmer was asked if the nats had any affect on the orioles fan base etc. He answered by laughing and saying, "if i wanted to see class a ball i would go to a minor league game." I personally want to see the nats and os do well, i just thought it was funny that the nats are doing so well and just recalled palmer saying that in march.

Especially since we outdraw them... it will only get better (or worse, depending on your perspective) once the new stadium is ready.

Im definetly a nats fan all the way... im just not an orioles hater. I cant wait to see what the stadium is going to look like. I wonder if theyre going to give it an old time feel with a modern twist or make a state of the art ball park. Either way things are only going up from here. Free agents are really going to look at washington as a good place to play.

I'm an Orioles hater, I always have been. Jim Palmer is a jerk who likes to hear himself talk.

Count me in on the Orioles H-A-T-E-R camp. I'm a Washingtonian not a Baltimoran. For you O's fans, how do you think your Ravens are going to do this year? And don't even try to say its different because it isn't. Cheering for Washington's geographic rival in baseball is no different than cheering for the geographic rival in football. In fact, the Ravens and its ownership has never had the audacity to disrespect and mistreat Washingtonians, while the O's have.

I grew up on the O's and Skins, so not everyone is stictly a Skins/Nats fan. Once you are brought up on a team, I am firm believer that you can not abandon them just because another team pops up in your area. I could have also done that with the Ravens, but did not.

He said that? Interesting. I'm 3 years running on my boycott of Camden Yards and the only time I would consider going back is to see the Nats play there. And comments like these are why. Most, not all, but most O's fans are pretty obnoxious when it comes to the Nats. Not really sure why. You support your team, we'll support ours.

Wow. I can't believe he said that.

I grew up a huge O's fan, and I can't believe Palmer would disrespect a Major League team like that. My love for the Nats has grown past the O's and Phillies(lived there for 15 years).

Palmer turned into such a turd. I hope people have made sure he remembers saying that!

Love for a Baseball team does not equal love for a football team. My love for the the Skins will never die!

I also grew up and Orioles fan. I was 14 when they won the World Series and could name you the lineup for all O's team from the late 70s to mid 80s. However, I am a believer that loyalty is a two-way street. You will not run into a more loyal person than me, but it has to be reciprocated. The O's management has done a lot of disrispect to ALL its fans but specially to its Washington based fans. Damage that is irriversible. These comments by Jim Palmer are just another exampleof how this organization is so vendictive. You can turn a blind eye to it if you like, but as long as people like you do, it will never change.

Jim Palmer is an excellent analyst who tends to make horrible jokes. During a game the other day, fellow announcer Jim Hunter mentioned that Nomar Garciapparra was winning the NL SS vote despite being injured for almost all of the year. Palmer then cracked, "I guess his Italian supporters are getting on their computers and voting for him."

Italian? He's latino and from California. oops.

My love for you will never die either :tongue:




J/k, sorry, your statement just cracked me up.

How many of the so called "Orioles Haters" are just really Angelos haters and would like the O's if he wasn't the owner?

You can put me in that category.


Although I am sick and damn tired of O's fans shouiting "O" during the national anthem at RFK. Whomever started that chant should be beaten. I personally find it very disrespectful, not just to Nats fans, but to the anthem in general.

I'm definitely in that category too.
