Are you talking about posts on SOSH? I’m gonna head over there and see if I can find the posts you’re talking about. I could use a good laugh this afternoon.

The problem when the Red Sox and Yankees fans are in town is that the O’s fans feel like they have to fight back. The best way overall is to out cheer them and hope that the O’s outplay them. But it’s not always possible because the fans of other teams can get downright nasty at times and greater measures have to be taken. I’d be lying if I never told a Yankees fan to shut the fuck up, though I wish I hadn’t had to.

I’d never condone an Orioles fan shouting obscenities at Red Sox fans unprovoked. That’s what the guy on SOSH said was happening and if so, totally inappropriate. But I think what is probably going on is the O’s fans are SO tired of the years of abuse that some of them go to the park looking for a fight.

You just go and cheer your ass off for your team and if the other fans begin behaving inappropriately (and I include chanting Let’s Go Red Sox in being inappropriate), then you handle it on a case by case basis.

And for the record I was at the game on Tuesday night and while there was a lot of cheering and such in my section, nothing happened near me that I would have been embarassed to have my 10 year old niece near. Although I did have some friends in the LF upper deck and they said it was pretty rowdy over there.

The Baltimore fans were really terrible and the city itself is a shithole. CNNSI ranking Camden 5th for nicest area surrounding the ballpark is a farse … I might advise against bringing the kids to Camden in the future unless you’re in a luxury box or packing heat. The ballpark itself is great, though. It’s like the eye of a category 5 hurricane

I’ve taken my kids to Camden Yards about 25 times in the past several years – day and night. The neighborhoods in the immediate vicinity are fine. You are over-reacting to a lousy game.

You would not have wanted your kids sitting in my section, I can tell you that. Unless you wanted them learning words like “f-cking faggot” and “c-nt.” We weren’t the ones being yelled at, but the people who were were minding their own business and doing nothing but “Let’s go Red Sox” chants. They also happened to be sitting right behind us, so it was getting screamed directly into our ears. It was fans of all ages too, not just your typical drunken college kids. Although there were plenty of them, too. Our section alone, which was pretty small, had probably 4 or 5 small groups band together all hammered and spewing that language. It wasn’t much better on the way out. “Boston is a sh-thole,” “F-ck you faggots back to Boston,” “Belicheat is a c-nt.” There were a lot of people like this too, not just a few kids pissing in the punch bowl. We passed about 4 spots where people had just pulled over and were yelling this garbage.

I’ve been down there a handful of times before this season, and even from watching TV last night I could see that the O’s fans seemed to have a bit more of an edge to them than usual. Boston sports fans are probably the most hated fans in America right now, and witnessing your stadium being sacked by opposing fans for 5 years adds gasoline to the bitterness.

The team jumped to a surprising start this season. However, it’s hard to see them staying in contention. Once the team starts losing, Camden Yards will quiet down and once again become “Fenway South” for future road trips.

Having been to Baltimore many times over the years, they are generally great fans. But last night it was ugly all around. People yelling and screaming at the Sox fans on the way into the stadium, during the game in our section, and every section, fights breaking out in several sections.

Some of the language in our section last night made me think I was in Philadelphia.

I’ll also chip in by saying the O’s fans were atypically fired up and, in some cases, inappropriate last night. There was a couple right behind us that was just being belligerently drunk and annoying, screaming “siddown, fatass!!!” at Papi everytime he made an out. When Manny grounded into the double play they screamed right into my ear and I literally had to turn around and tell them to tone it down, as it’s only May. It seemed like this was happening in every section based on what other Sox fans were telling me.

Oh, no, O’s fans were being INAPPROPRIATE!

i used to go to a sox-o’s game every year because i LIKED their fans. Someone to jaw about hating the yanks with. but call camden fenway south for 5 years and shits gonna happen. you think if they called fenway “yankee stadium north” that the sox fans would take it and like it?

if you dont want to deal with the abuse, then ya probably shouldnt spout off. the kid that gets picked on the most is usually the one that hits back the hardest.

has anyone BEEN to yankee stadium? it isnt exactly in times square. its in the bronx. and thats not a nice place. y=guess when your team loses, ya gotta bust on the city right?

Listen. I say this every time so none of the delicate sensibility Red Sox fans have a fit and start crying the way they did for 86 years—I know some great, wonderful Red Sox fans. Truly excellent baseball fans, knowledgable and passionate and super people.

If they can’t see where this is coming from, it speaks volumes about them. And it has nothing to do with their team being good. I openly rooted for the Red Sox as an adopted band of brothers in 2004—it was glorious what they did. But the bandwagoneers they’ve picked up have been a scourge on their entire fanbase.

I cannot and will not condone behavior some of the people are reporting back, though. Fights are idiotic wastes of time and tell a story about both sides of the altercation in 99.9999% of all cases. Shitty fans, shitty people. All that “faggot” talk is for garbage human beings. Honestly, if you can’t think of something more creative than “you’re a homosexual, which is bad!” you have some serious issues and are probably an asshole, and I don’t care what hat you’re wearing.

But David Ortiz being called “fatass” is just what it is, typical trash talk.

And as for the stupidest comment of all of them:

Just got back from the game. Great seats, but the Sox ruined my fucking night along with the obnoxious Orioles fans around me. They fucking screamed their heads off like it was a playoff game. Have some fucking pride.

Yes, and next time you’re all at Camden Yards, if you beat the Orioles, please sit quietly and don’t chant or have any fun with your team winning or do anything of that nature. It’s just the Orioles. Have some fucking pride.

That comment in itself pretty much sums up exactly why we hate you, Red Sox “Nation.” And I know not all of you think like that.
