HOW BOUT DEM O's

[ValKehl]

I understand that the Orioles won't be playing at home during the National this year - maybe this is a good thing?!

However, just down the road, the rapidly-rising Washington Nationals will be playing at home in their near-new stadium - Wed. & Thurs. nights against the Phillies and Friday & Sat. nights plus Sunday afternoon against Miami. This just may be the year my Nats make the playoffs!!

Pretty humorous. I'm a White Sox fan, but I like to root for the O's when their interests don't conflict. I was 11 years old when Ripken broke the consecutive games record, and I've had a soft spot for the O's ever since. I'm also a fan of the Royals when its convenient, since a bunch of my extended family is from KC and are Royals fans.

Basically, I tend to root for teams that are currently no threat at all to the White Sox...not that the White Sox are expected to be any threat this season.

What would this thread be without a reply from a long-suffering Cubs fan? Go Cubbies! This is our year! Dale Sveum will lead us to the promised land!

Atleast your teams don't spend $90M+ a year and still manage to suck. Oh it's rough being a Mets fan...

I do think we'll be around .500 this season though.

Now that has to hurt. Baltimore has a great ballpark, but the ownership needs to go.

At least in the college game the Os were up against their own pitchers and catcher. What's their excuse for losing to their AAA team yesterday?
Norfolk 6, Baltimore 4. Sheesh.
