ORIOLES
Read a great article about Nate McClouth over the weekend. Nearly brought tears to my eyes, until I remembered he is a healthy 30 year old multi-millionaire. Now I can't find the article. Anybody know which one I'm talking about?
stadiums are so overrated…. as is ballpark food…i don't understand people who go to games only to spend their time chowing and talking about food…i guess its like people who eat at gas stations or something… i don't know why people care so much about that stuff… all i care about is the baseball… i remember watching the nats at RFK and yeah the stadium and food sucked but i still had a great time

I love seeing baseball games at different stadiums. I love talking to fans of the home team, and seeing different teams play. Eventually, I'll get to all the ones I want to see. I think most stadiums are really great! I just don't have much of a desire to see the dome stadiums which don't have retractable roofs.
I take my own food to Orioles games.
Thanks, that's the one!

The Rays aren't my team. Just tired of lazy armchair quarterbacking by hO's fans who haven't even been to the stadium.

Hey, me too. Cubs fans are the most pathetic sacks of shit ever to grace Earth. I even laugh at them on the Metro. They deserve it.

So, what does everyone think will happen this week? I'm guessing we'll be going to a Wild Card game on Friday, but I do also have high hopes to beat the Yankees.
And by "we", I mean me and my friends :)

Seems to me the loser of a divisional tie-break game should be considered the #1 wild card team. This seems to contradict that notion.

Agreed. We should all have informed opinions before we post anything on this board. Like you for instance.
I have NOT been to the Trop (will not watch baseball indoors), the newish Milwaukee and Nationals stadium (if you can believe that!) and the new Minnesota and Florida stadiums. That's it. I saw the old versions of each of those stadiums, though.
