New on This Blog
I am new to this blog, but it seems cool. A nice refresh from living in a city, which I consider to have the most annoying fans in sports. Do you guys hate Boston fans more or NY fans? Who is worse when they visit?
by James (Lost in Boston) on Nov 28, 2010 12:41 PM EST reply actions
Depends on the age of the fan
Most older Boston fans aren’t toolbags. Almost all NY fans are but the young Boston fans are 100x worse than most NY fans. I guess it’s a push?

agree with Geoffrey
young Boston is just the worst, all of NY is almost as bad but at least they have something to brag about, Boston’s 6 kajillion dollar payroll played exactly as many playoff games as the O’s this year.

Welcome!
You’ll find that for Orioles fans, Camden Chat is THE place to hold onto your sanity. Ain’t no better way to get through another losing season or a Garret Atkins signing.
Oh, and while both fans can de assholes, the Boston fans are far worse when they actually visit Baltimore.

A well loved lawnmower though lol
Jeter sells the most jerseys around. But you guys are right, it is not equal payback for Mussina.
I know I need a shrink. That Mussina wound still stings when I think of it.
The Finley, Schilling trade wound is mostly healed but still bleeds now and then. The 1989 team will always go down as one of my favorites and they broke it up
Muss still hurts me too
but as good as Shilling was, I hate that guy. I would have had a hard time rooting for him, even if we was racking up those numbers in an O’s uni.

I just walked out of my house to find my parking spot empty. Thought my car was stolen until my neighbor told me he saw it getting towed yesterday (I didn’t leave the house yesterday. One of those days). Why? I have no idea. So now I’m waiting for my friend to come and get me to take me to pick up my car. Which was towed from my parking spot in front of my house. For which I’ll have to pay $300. For reasons I cannot begin to imagine.

What recourse do you have?
Towing companies can’t just go around towing cars and forcing you to pay $300 to get it back… or can they?
Well it's Greenwood Towing
Which is the company the city uses, so I’m assuming it’s city sanctioned. Although I can’t think of any reason for it. The only blemish on my record is a parking ticket I got a few weeks ago but that surely can’t be it, the deadline for paying it hasn’t even arrived.

That sucks.
And Baltimore City only uses ONE towing company? That’s odd. There’s a rotation down here, so all the companies get their share of the pie, so to speak. Quite the racket. I can’t believe other towing companies haven’t sued to be included.

just picked it up
It wasn’t the city, but the towing place wouldn’t give me any details other than it was authorized by my townhouse management office. I have no idea their justification, but I do know my December rent check is going to be $300 less.

eh
they also just sucked. How do you let Gerhart get so many fucking yards on that last drive when you know they’re giving it to him every play? And then the icing on the cake was the 50 year old scrub QB with a broken ankle running for a first down with the game on the line. They just suck. If not for Banks that’s feeling a lot more like a blowout.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
yeah, not buying it
They were down to a running back they signed off the practice squad. Their O-line is still beat up from last week. And MN has a very good pass rush which McNabb had to step around all day, since he didn’t have Portis to help block for him.
Despite all this, they moved the ball on MN all day long. They actually won time of possession until GB’s final drive. It was nothing like a blowout, particularly since Banks’ return only led to a field goal, and MN got a gimme field goal themselves on Moss’ tipped ball.
I’m not saying the ’Skins are even remotely a playoff team, but they played MN pretty even today and had a lot of good drives end with no points because of poor execution.

the season was over before it began
anything better than 4 wins was gravy given how shitty they’ve been and how much they need an overhaul.
that said, the Skins have played over their heads this year at times, and have played down to the competition at other times. I thought today would be a tight game and it was. MN is not as bad as they were under Childress.
Their remaining games are the Giants (2x), Dallas, Jacksonville, and Tampa Bay. I am pretty confident they’ll win two of those five.

this is true about the Skins playing well this year at times
the Packers game comes to mind. I think they’re record will definitely be misleading, I had them as the last place team in the east this year but they’ve surprised me. as have the Cowboys, just for the opposite reason.

upside:
exposing the cowboys early, beating Chicago and Green Bay, losing in close games to both Houston and Indy. The Houston game was especially one they should have won.
Downside: Losing convincingly to Detroit and St. Louis, and of course the MNF game against Philly.
They will be a much better team next year. I’m still not sold on McNabb, though.

we need to draft one
Mcnabb will have to be the guy for the next year, but I don’t think he’s the guy long-term.
- still makes too many bad decisions
- still can’t throw an accurate short pass
- still can’t fire the team up when they need it
When Banks’ TD was called back today for the illegal block, they cut to McNabb dejectedly shaking his head as he s-l-o-lw-l-y trotted out to the field. He had no energy. In that situation, a leader hustles out, shakes it off and says, “fuck it, we’re going to score anyway.”

but from what I can tell, the Best team in the AFC is either the Jets, Patriots, or Steelers, maybe the Ravens. Jets have losses to the Ravens, and an obviously very good Packers team. the Patriots have losses to the Browns (yikes) and Jets. Steelers to the Patriots, Saints, and Ravens. Ravens have losses to the Falcons, Bengals (yikes again), and Patriots. in all but two of the cases (Pats/Browns, Ravens/Bungals) these teams have beaten the teams they were supposed to beat which separates them from every other team so far this year.

The Steelers barely squeaked by Buffalo today (yikes). The Patriots, who I think are probably the best team in the AFC, were dominated by the Lions a week ago, until they woke the fuck up.
And I don’t see how the Jets being SHUTOUT by the Packers advances your argument.
This is one of those unprovable discussions. Every team has gone through its shitty games over the course of this season, and there is no one dominant team this year in either conference.

So to win the week I need:
-San Diego Win OR
-SF win and < 44 point scored tomorrow night
San Diego win and SF win pulls me within 3 games of first
Other possible winners:
Stacey: Indianapolis Win, SF Win, and > 44 points scored
Jeff Galfer: Indianapolis Win, SF Win
so
do I take Colts over Chargers? I’m really on the fence about this one.

I wouldn't
Indy’s still beat up, San Diego’s had there number in recent years, is starting to get healthy, and is starting their signature second half run.
Man I made shitty picks this week.

Fuck Indianapolis
I was going on hunches this week which clearly failed. KC can, in fact, win on the road, and Miami is not entirely offense-less. St. Louis should have lost that game though and I’m not at all sad that Philly lost and Vick fumbled 4 times.

Hey at least you made picks.
I forgot before I went out of town.

No sir, I don't like it
I mean, it might be great, but it’s hard for me to dig anything that’s really taking the show off course from the books because I love them so much. Hopefully it’s just a short stop on their path to where they should be headed.

What happened that was different from the book?

There was no CDC visit in the books
alot of little things have been different up to this point (mainly adding new charecters and changing what happened in ATL a bit), but this CDC thing looks like it’s gonna be a big part of the story, and that is definitely not where they ended up in the books.

That's interesting that they made such a big change
Having not read the books, I am thoroughly enjoying the series. I’m bummed that it’s over next week. But I know that if I’d read them I wouldn’t like what was happening. I have a hard time with that when I see a movie based on a book that I love.

Well I still love the show
but no where near as much as I loved the books. It might ruin the show for you just a tiny bit, but the books are oh so worth reading. Get the compendium already. I promise you it’s amazing. You can even stay behind the show if you want. There are enough marker points that line up (like heading back to Atlanta and the sister’s death) that you’ll know roughly where you are in the book as it relates to the show.

I'm probably going to read them.
But I know that if I start I won’t be able to wait with the show. I don’t have that kind of self control.
That sister’s death was so sad!
Does that part with the other guy getting left on the road happen in the books? I don’t understand why he would want that. Just put a bullet in my head already, if that’s me.

I dont remember him at all
It’s possible (it was so early on and I havent reread everything recently), but I really dont remember him even being a charecter.
The compendium covers the first 48 books, and though theyve been jumping around a bit it seems like they’ve covered about 5-7 of the books so far. You might be waiting a while if you want to wait to read it that way. However, they do make softcover volumes that only cover 6 books at a time. That would def. keep you from going ahead (as long as you only buy one at a time).

he wasn't in there at all
I wonder if the CDC becomes the place they find in the books? that I could live with.

I was thinking that
but I dont get why they’d do that (unless they couldnt find one of those places to film at, which I could understand). However there is a lot of location specific stuff that happened there that wouldnt be possible now in this gov’t building.
Whatever. I’m gonna watch it no matter what they do.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
for sure
I bet we know by next episode. If they hunker down and stay there, I think that’s the direction they’re taking. If not, I bet they go to the other place next season.

Never read the graphic novels
but I usually don’t have too much of a problem when the filmed version of a story deviates from the written version, as long as everything works. It’s a different medium.
Javier Vazquez signs with Marlins
1/$7M. He has a NTC, from what it looks like he wanted to be close to home (Puerto Rico). Pitching in that big ballpark will help him out a lot, but his decrease in FB velo has to be an ominous sign.
Librarians are hiding something
man I wish he'd have stayed in New York

I just had a beautiful idea
freakin out right now. if I can find a cheaper one you’re looking at a fan of the game streak of dominance the likes of which has never been seen.

I never knew there was such a demand for these types of things. I thought that maybe, if I was lucky, I’d find one on eBay or something. go figure.
