Official 2012 Baltimore Orioles Thread

[Fight4RGIII]

This would be the most boring playoff series ever for America.

From my POV:

If you have zero allegiance to baseball and you started following the Nats since they came to DC - good for you and I have no issue with who you root for.

If you followed the Orioles since childhood (or if that was your only team you watched) and then jumped ship when the Nats came to town, that's weak. ESPECIALLY if one of your main reasons was due to how Angelos was running things.

I don't see how any fan of one team can all of a sudden jump ship. I'm loyal to the teams that I've followed since childhood. I'm sorry, but I'll NEVER see eye-to-eye with any "ex" O's fan who jumped ship like that.

*How are your feelings towards ex-Skins fans who started cheering for the Ravens for many reasons - one of which is due to how Dan Snyder runs the team here in DC?

They can root for whoever they want though if they root for the Ravens because the Skins have sucked, well that shows how diehard they were. But they can still root for who they want. I grew up an Indians fan because my Dad's from Cleveland (lots of wins, no titles, sigh). We always wanted our own hometown team though. And we got it, and now we cheer for the Nationals and have since 2005.

O's need 3 defensive outs to win.

O's need 9 defensive outs from Boston as well.

Stomach acid...

Sticks, I don't really care how anyone came to become a fan of any team (my college roommate became a Seahawks fan because he got one of those gum ball machine helmets when his family moved here) as long as they stick with that team. So, Nats, Cowboys, Yankees, whatever as long as they are there during last place and first place finishes.

Back to baseball...3 more outs from JJ to at least make tomorrow meaningful!

Wow Jones! Close call.

[TheDoyler23]

Johnson had no interest in giving in to Zobrist 3-0.

Orioles win! 51 saves for JJ!

[TheDoyler23]

Never a doubt.

GO REDSOX!

Yankees/Red Sox is on MLB Network, for those that get it.

Sigh of relief. Manny has a cannon but should throw that to first. Great win. Tons of respect for Joe Maddon and the Rays.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Go Sox!

I can't believe my Birds have won 93 games this season. Amazing!!

[abdcskins]

Oh boy....Boston....hold on.

Yep, maybe they respect us enough to play their pups tomorrow.

I have to say that we should probably be rooting for the A's tonight. IF the A's win tonight and the O's win tomorrow, it would guarantee that the wildcard game, should the O's end up there, would be in Baltimore regardless of the A's-Rangers game tomorrow.

October is going to be a very very long month.

If the Sox hold on, I won't concern myself with what's happening out west tomorrow!
