Screw you. We’ve put up with some fucked up shit from our ownership and management. We supported the team for a long-ass time. The last good team was in 1997. In recent years they’ve been truly abominable, and often played like they don’t care.

The people who read and post on this blog are some of the few fans PGA hasn’t managed to alienate yet. We actually do care that other teams’ fans invade our stadium. We go to games. Don’t fucking lecture us.

Also, you’re a fan of two MLB teams and two NFL teams, so you have no position to talk to us about fan-ness. Why don’t you grow a pair and choose between New York and Ohio, assclown?

you pretty much have no idea what you are talking about. if you we’re a consistent reader of this blog you’d know these are pretty much the die-hardest fans there are. pretend we care? you think we’d be even talking about the orioles let alone living and (mostly) dying with them if we didnt care? THEY HAVENT WON IN 10 YEARS. I live 250 miles away and I average 5-6 games a year in camden. and i know countless others on this board who blow me out of the water. so yea, go screw.

I could understand you critisizing the fans who are just there for the good times, but if you had any sense at all you would know that the people who spend at least five nights a week watching the O’s play baseball and posting on this site are not the reason the park isn’t filling up. No team has had to go through what the O’s have had to deal with the past ten years sans the Pirates and Kansas City, although the Royals had a good year in 2003 I believe. I go to 21 games a year at Orioles Park and watch almost all of the others at home, and the team that I watch loses most of those games. Look at Pittsburgh’s attendance records, look at Kansas City’s, it is the same shit for them. Pittsburgh got a new park in 2001 and have been under the league average every year. The O’s sold out almost every game between 1993-2006 although Baltimore is supposedly a “dying city.” There are not 50,000 die hard fans for any team who are willing to buy tickets night in and night out for a losing team. There is a very small minority who will buy season tickets regardless of how good the team is, and when the club is winning games the stadium fills up with bandwagon fans and people whose interests perks up when a team wins. That is true for any team.

Baltimore was, by the way, above the league average in attendance every year since 1988, most notably eight of the ten years post 1997 when they had 0, count em, 0 winning seasons. I knew that the last time the Yanks made the playoffs was 1992 so I looked for their attendance that year. So much history. So many world titles. Such a huge city. 21,000 a year? Can you imagine going to your own stadium and having every asshole from Boston wearing as much red as they possibly can? There is no point to even go to the Red Sox/Yankees games because you are just surrounded by a bunch of people who think that they are somehow rebellious because they are chanting for their team in another ballpark. It is just flat out disrespectful. They come to the inner harbor and think that they are a Godsend and know Baltimore from the two nights they spend there. I don’t go to the Red Sox/Yankee games anymore because it turns into a shouting match between the visitors, who really do think that they are sticking it to us by wearing their colors, and the guys who goes to two O’s game a year and know that Miguel Tejada is a monster. It is pathetic to me when you have the Orioles fans trying to get cheers going in late August when their team is 15 games back. You can tell they aren’t real fans. Nostalgia only lasts so long, the O’s won the World Series in 1983 and had very high attendance records until the 2007 season, and even in ‘07 they were somehow near the league average.

But thanks for bringing this issue to the table, we never realized that we have been bad for the past decade and/or other fans are occupying our stadium. Cheers!

He’s just looking to get a rise out of everyone rather than having a serious discussion.

...eat a bag of dick.

I’ve also been to six games this year so far. So basically? Shut up.

Thanks for putting a damper on my otherwise-perfect Sunday morning.

Now where do I get my 2009 road uni?

...you fucking douchebag.

How’s your pink hat fit?

Why are NY and MA losing population than they attract? People don’t care to stay because the states are relatively high tax with an eroding economic base? People in MA and NY make me sad. They should show more pride in their states.

As cynical as we are, we are the ones that will still support the team when they’re 0-162

As exitfare said, wrong place for this. Go tell the casual fans. Or better yet, go back in time and stop a ten-year sub-.500 streak from happening.

Read around—you’ll find people sick of hearing the Boston cheers everywhere. But those fans buy the tickets. What do you wanna do, ban them?
