What do they next three games hold in store for the O's????

they’re nowhere near as bad as Cowboys fans

for a win tonight when I’m down there with the Dugout Club-ers. Anything beyond that is gravy….

Yankees fans are wonderful people* who support a team with a rich tradition that is unrivaled by any other team in sports.

*Except for Jeffery Maier, who I would pay good money to punch in the face.

I have nothing nice to say about Red Sox fans. When we were at the game a month or so back when A-Rod returned to the lineup (and the O’s got shut out 4-0), there was a couple wearing Red Sox shirts. So, O’s and Yankees fans alike began to boo them. The guy looks up at us with this look like “why on Earth would you boo us?” Brilliant folks, those Red Sox fans.

And let’s be clear: Red Sox fans, particularly in Baltimore, are more likely to be the bandwagon bunch. We’re talking about a team that hadn’t done a thing in 86 years, then finally breaks the phony baloney curse their dopey fans trumped up to explain their teams futility. Now, look at that, tons of Red Sox fans in Baltimore, a city also utterly devoid of baseball champions since the year I was brought into this world.

Don’t get me wrong, the Yankees have that great appeal throughout the ages, which so many folks find detestable. However, if we’re talking the past five years, I’ve got to think it’s the Red Sox that have the bandwagon fans more so than the Yanks.

how the series will play, but thanks for the reminder that Wed is a day game. I was going to sit this one out, but I can’t resist a “everyone-else-is-at-work” game.

Last year’s sox day game was the only good thing Jay Payton ever did… that grand slam off of Okajima.

I should have added a both option! I still hate the extra charge on tix when these two teams are in town-doesn’t keep any of their so-called fans out, since they can’t afford to go see a game at either of their stadiums without offering up their first born for a seat!!! Thank you Camden Yards for sparring me my child and allowing her to enjoy the O’s since she was born.

Love that story of the Sox fans looking like how could you possibly BOO THEM?? Well we will any chance we can and if you don’t like it go home and watch FEVER PITCH for the 100th time! (sorry Fallon, I do like your late nite gig though).

If you’re driving to a beautiful stadium, to a see a good baseball game in our city, you should be respectful. Esspecially when you get in on pennies on the dollar compared to other stadiums (well not literally). I hate hearing about that goddamned FENWAY when we’re at the Yard.

I am going on wed and I am just preparing myself to walk into Fenway park…. I mean Camden Yards. Sox fans have no respect for anyone, I just hope I get to call a few of them out tomorrow. It is such a different stadium when they are in town, I mean it’s like you go in already angry before the game even starts because of what you know will be there waiting for you, a bunch of Sox fans, most probably only fans since 2004!

I heard a pretty hilarious stat yesterday on ESPN 980 (DC’s home for the O’s). The top road team draw in all of baseball is the New York Yankees.

Second is the Chicago Cubs.

Third is the WASHINGTON NATIONALS.

Fourth is the Boston Red Sox.

It should be noted that only a thousand or so fans separate first and fourth, so probably only a couple hundred seperate the Nats and the Red Sox. But still, outdrawn by the freakin’ Nats. Warms my heart.

The hosts, and I tend to agree with this, felt that the reason the Nats draw such good crowds on the road is that it’s automatic win night for the home team. I really don’t see why else folks would endeavor to watch that brand of so-called baseball, unless teams just happen to give away toys and jerseys whenever the Nats come to town (see: this past Saturday with the Markickass jerseys and 40k+ fans in attendance).
