ORIOLES

5 Straight.

12 runs last night.

Love still living in this Orioles wormhole of good baseball.

hell yeah….sweep! 

I will just be happy if they finish above .500

ummm… 930 is in DC. We're Nats fans here!

It's a natural thing
;D

Some of us 930 fans are from Baltimore.

Others live in DC and have been baseball fans for more than 7 years and fewer than 41.

Lame

The Braves hadn't been shut out in consecutive games since June, 1999.  Go O's.

been one for a long long time

there weren't other options when I started

made a lot of friends there, and it's still the best ballpark anywhere to actually go see a game, enjoy good food, and be comfortable

and I've been to a LOT of other stadiums, including all of the classics

so tell me what's lame about that

Nothing.  Camden Yards is home. 

yes, it is great…and I love the fact that I can walk to the stadium.  I really like the new rooftop centerfield bar.

if you live 40 miles away in Baltimore..

This is typical DC.. in no other town in America would people not be expected to root for their team.. only in DC is it accepted that people root for anybody BUT the nats.. i have so many friends who have lived here 20 years and insist they are Yankees , Phillies, O's or whatever first…


Hey Jackie, you live in DC for 20 years how about you root for YOUR local team.

(none of this denies how awesome Camden Yards is..)

there are plenty of people that live in baltimore area that don't cheer for the orioles.  see: any yankees or red sox game

True.  Nice to see that more Orioles fans are going to the game now though, even if they are fair weather fans! 

the new rooftop bar is really wonderful! 

My husband and I bought tickets for all the Legends games this year.  The Frank Robinson game was wonderful!  Looking forward to Earl Weaver next weekend.

I sincerely hate that, home is where the heart is, right? Home, sweet, home? Root, root, root for the home team? Home field advantage? It makes no sense to me how people can be born in DC and not root for the Nats or Skins, or Caps, or Wizards, or United. It's not blind homerism, but it is about rooting for the home team. I don't get how people can't wrap their heads around that notion and for some reason it seems like it IS only in DC/around the DC metro area.

Thinking about heading up to Camden to the Nats/O's series this week!

I never said I didn't root for the Nats

they are my other team

Ewwwwww.

Go O's.

I also root for the Nationals when they're not playing the Orioles.  I support all local teams!  But, I grew up in Baltimore, and also with the Orioles.  The Orioles trump all other sports teams for me.

Oh no no, I didn't mean I didn't understand why YOU didn't, I don't hold anything against people who are O's fans at all, except that they're O's fans hahaha but I understand wanting to root for a team and DC not having one for years. It's like Ravens fans not liking Redskins fans/Redskins, even though some of them DID root for the Redskins before the Ravens…

Another thing is I don't get how O's fans can shit on Nats fans for liking a "new" team, and yet the Ravens are totally OK because they've been around for over a decade… Kind of hypocritical if you ask me. I still love Baltimore as a city.
