Game time change pisses me off

Today the Os announced that day game scheduled for Sunday 7/31 against the White Sox has been moved to 8:00 PM to accommodate ESPN. Thanks a lot guys. This game was one of their kids "dugout club" games, and I had planned to take my 3 year old son to the game. 8:00 PM is way too late for a three year old. Grrr.

Star-divide

This was going to be the only chance to take my kid to a game while I was visiting MD. Anyway, as I noted in another thread, much to my heartbreak, my son has decided he is a Red Sox fan (we live in RI). He was threatening to wear his Red Sox hat to the game. Now he has taken to further torturing me by throwing his Orioles dugout club baseball around the house saying "I'm going to play for the Red Sox when I grow up!" (Not with your old man's genes you won't.)

Sorry for the rant, but this really spoils my plans. We were going to go with my brother, his wife and his 2 year old daughter. I had even sold the 2 good seats I bought to the game so we could do a  big family outing. Grrrr.

Take him!
He can catch up on sleep on the way home.  This might be your only chance to reconvert him back to Oriole-ism.
Why not 2005?

It's just too late...
He never takes naps and goes like a madman from like 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, then totally crashes. No way he would stay awake through the game, and woe onto anyone within 20 sections of us if he did!

This might be your only chance to reconvert him back to Oriole-ism.

I know, I know. I was kind of counting on it. I've been hyping this game to him for weeks, now I have to tell him we can't go. I'm heartbroken!

You know what this means.
To him it's just another reason to dislike the O's.  I fear we may lose him forever.

Tell him...
Tell him if he's serious about playing in the Majors, he oughta dump that Red Sox cap and buy a Royals uni.
