No Oriole fan would do that.

The OP is just trying to stir up trouble.

I don't know if the OP is trying to start trouble or not.

In my opinion The Red Sox, Yankees "hatred" is mostly caused by "jealousy". Yankees and the Sox, have better players, better fans, better management, and better ownership that will spend money on good players, which in baseball is how a team wins.


Red Sox were just fun to watch late in the year. It's nice to see Koji get a ring.

This is a Baltimore message board. The OP is trolling.
Maybe you are right though this perhaps does belong in the sports section...

I will say though:
I also have zero ties to Boston and NY.

I realized in July or August that the O's weren't in it when:

-When they still didn't have a 5th starting (arguably they didn't have a legit 4th starting pitcher either),
-They had a player barely hitting .200 playing 2nd base every day,
-A closer who was blowing saves all year long.

I'm more of a real baseball fan. If I had my way Pittsburgh or Washington would have won it.... but oh well....


I respect the Sox for building a good team, after a terrible year and winning that's what made them fun to watch. Honestly I was cheering more for Koji.(A former Oriole)

As for the David Ortiz steroid use claim..
O's fans practically begged for Brian Roberts to come back from injury for what 2-3 years? cheered him at every turn and he is also guilty of cheating.

O's have a less then clean record of roiders.

I liked Koji when he was here - after they turned him into a relief pitcher. I was disappointed when he was traded but the Orioles ended up getting Chris Davis (from Texas for non-fans reading) so I guess it evened out, or did it?
I never cared for Andy MacPhail because I thought he was lazy. The one trade that did work out was getting Jones and Tillman from Seattle.

I'm a Nats fan too. I was born in Washington, DC and spent my whole life in the area until last year when I moved here.

Hate to point a finger at the Orioles 2013 season but if Johnson didn't blow all those save chances that he didn't blow last season...
At least they are doing much better since Dan Duquette arrived. He deserves more credit for the Orioles turning it around than Showalter is getting.

There a ton of Yanks fans here in Baltimore!!! I used to work at Camden Yards, and if it wasn't for Boston and New York baseball fanatics, we'd never make any money.

Were you preaching that line before 2004?

Wait a second! Your a Yankees fan congratulating the Boston Red Sox?? Just when I thought you didn't have any more surprises up your sleeve.

Kid, I think it's time you turn in your Yankees fan card immediately.
