This could be the worst crowd I've ever seen at the Yard
It looks like there are less than 7k at the game.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

And on top of that
There are a disproportionate amount of Rays fans.

Bandwagon?
It’s hard to imagine too many people grew up loving the Rays and then moved to Baltimore.

Oh of course
I’m sure it’s people who have lived in Orlando/Miami at one point in their life and have been to a Rays game and are now diehard.

Looooouuuuuuuu!
That was an incredibly bad pitch by Shields.

When you have a crowd this size
Making that much noise, even the greats are vulnerable.

1/4 of Carlos Pena's RBIs have come against the O's
maybe the team should take Dempsey’s “Don’t pitch to Pena” thing seriously.

Can the O's forfeit?
Just don’t bat in the bottom of the ninth. Make it clear that they are pu$$ie$ who have given up instead of going through the charade.

Who in their right mind
Would possibly want to come to Baltimore?

it's a losing culture
And that’s tough to change. The Detroit Lions (my NFL squadron) have the same thing. …I hate sports.

honestly
As bad as the O’s have been the last 11 years, I think the Lions might be even more pathetic. Ain’t no Nick Markakis or Matt Wieters on the Lions. Matt Millen is Syd Thrift x2.

The Lions are pathetic
They’ve NEVER been good. I don’t believe they have ever reached the Superbowl, have they? I’m not really counting pre 1960’s crap, if we did count the 50’s then the Cleveland Browns would be one of the winningest franchises in pro football. Ford as an owner is pathetic and the casual NFL fan who watches two games a year could call Matt Millen out on his atrocious decisions in the draft and over the course of a season.
To me it’s amazing because theoretically a team in the NFL should have enough luck to scrap together at least one championship caliber team; in that league you can’t really accurately predict who will win the title because of the sudden death, elimination style playoffs, and the fact that a team only needs to string together 19 good games to win it all. In baseball, even if a team does everything right it can take 4-8 years to establish a perennial contender.

closest we ever got to the Super Bowl...
was that NFC title game drubbing the Redskins gave us in the Mark Rypien year.

Moore was a rookie that year
Started 1 game, played in 13. He didn’t come on until a couple years later. He was awesome.
To give you an example of how this franchise is run these days, Moore offered a couple years ago to come to camp and work with Mike Williams, since they’re guys with similar talents. The Lions declined.

So, how did you like
Ford, Jr. saying he’d fire Millen if he was allowed?

Now that's a good comment
Shame his pop won’t die and leave the Lions to him. Barry Sanders might have played another 5 years had he not had to run behind the worst managed franchise in the league.

it's about time he was honest
Millen is indefensible. If you worked at Best Buy as a salesman and had his results, you’d be gone in six months, tops.
