SuperBash Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If you want the big boys, you are going to have to give out bad contracts. If you want ok players towards the back end of their careers, you give them Oriole contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Umm. I'm an O's fan and I would prefer you guys didn't get better players than us? We already have better players than you. One more wouldn't make any difference. :pfft: Just kidding.....kinda. ---------- Post added January-24th-2012 at 08:45 PM ---------- If you want the big boys, you are going to have to give out bad contracts.

SuperBash Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 And as an O's fan, we just saw Darvish, Fielder, AND Pujols come to the AL. GREAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 And as an O's fan, we just saw Darvish, Fielder, AND Pujols come to the AL. GREAT! The O's will just have to do it the hard way. Great drafting and superior scouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 And as an O's fan, we just saw Darvish, Fielder, AND Pujols come to the AL. GREAT! Reminds of the 80s and the Bullets. I'd always see headlines like this in the paper or hear it on the Radio: Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls invade the Capital Centre to take on the Bullets Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics come to the Capital Centre to play the Bullets Magic Johnson and the Lakers take on the Bullets. You see the theme there? Marketing the other team and their star players to sell tickets on our home court? That's what you are suggesting will happen to the Orioles and I'd rather have our own stars to market to get fans to come out or else you'll have the same thing happen when the Steelers invaded Fed Ex.

The, "Great," was implied sarcastically since it even further hurts our near non existent playoff chances. I suggest we get our own stars also but with our owner and the way we've developed and drafted players over the last decade, chances were slim to have stars at this point. Hopefully Dylan Bundy and Manny Machado are the next big things in the MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thome is 41, I believe. But of course we'll (well, me anyway) will be there. When will you folks venture up? Few years from now?

Y'all need some serious help, acting like spoiled children being egged on by all your friends tends to ruin a baseball game for anyone no wearing red pinstripes. The fact that Philly fans are proud of their reputation speaks sadly of the entire town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still root for the O's, but they make it harder and harder for me every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as Phillie fans, we have the opportunity to do that in DC each weekend series, sometimes even week day sereies, until the Nats put up a winning record probably.

My neighbor is from Philly, and until he moved down here he couldn't understand why Philly fans have the rep they have. He took his daughters to a Philly-Nats game in DC, and texted me his apologies for the behavior of Philly fans. Over a few beers, he admitted that after the game he completely understood why other fans loathe Philly fans. I am glad you feel proud to take over another teams park. Funny, you couldn't even take over your own park 7 years ago. #FRONTRUNNERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I went to a game in Philly last year...vs. Oakland. After they lost the crowd chanted "E-A-G-L-E-S...EAGLES!" at the Phillies. It was a scene for sure. Way to support your team there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the issue is, these bus trips and fan groups that go. They drink, drink, drink on the buses, tailgate, then go in the game. Do I enjoy those bus trips, and the beers on them? Yes. But i'm the last person to go around and talk trash. In DC I like to splurge and sit close because usually they are buy one get one free or something, so I usually chat it up with the season ticket holders and such. Those outfields are the group tickets...and they are the buses...and that's where you get your issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to superozman, but typical Philly fan. Prove them wrong or embarrass them and they wanna fight. Unless they are outnumbered. Then they sit quietly. Put them in a group to feed off each others stupidity, chaos ensues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
