Official Orioles and Nationals Thread 2012

As an Expos fan growing up, and a DC area native...I'm well within my rights to root for the Nationalsif you grew up following dc baseball, you are innocent

ravens fans

WUT. I'm confused.

I was an Orioles fan since I was a kid because they were the closest to DC, but I'm also a Nats fan because they're now the "official" home team.

So. What does that make people from Baltimore, who rooted for the Redskins but now root for the Ravens?

I'm still into both teams and root for both to do well and will continue to do so until Baltimore area fans act like there's some intense rivalry between the two.

I really used to root for the Ravens too until many of their fans turned into total pricks.

They were always pricks. They're all on that Ray Lewis ish. They're all super hardcore about their fandom. And its not like Redskins hardcore, it's just flat out assholeishness.

D-Rave you can't cheer for the Nats because you were a O's fan first and you can not be a fan of Tupac becasue he died when you were only ten.

Come on get with the game!

I actually like the Ravens the team; their fans make me want to invite Cowboy fans over for drinks.

Plus as soon as the Ravens slip and the Skins exceed out comes all their old gear. Of late I have been getting lots of "beeps" about my licenses plate (MD Skins one) and folks yelling "go RGIII" and positive stuff. I live in the heart of Ravens country and it is like they are just back pocketing the Skins in case we blow up with RGIII.

lol <3

Sometimes I feel like that. Because the O's and the Nats are within 45 minutes of each other it has to be either or. And if it came down to choosing, I'd honestly choose the Nats just because.. Hell, their stadium is like 15 minutes from my house. Haha.

But when it comes down to choosing, it's actually really hard because I've had positive experiences with Orioles fans and Nats fans so. I don't like making that decision.

I haven't been to a Nats game yet though. I hear their games are pretty fun.

Here is what I do. I was born in DC in 73. I live there until I was 6; my dad became a Skins fan thus my fan hood for the team. We moved back "home" to RI where I became a Celtics, Bruins, and Red Sox fan but I still loved my Skins and never cheered for the Pats.

Now I live in the B-more area. I cheer Skins, Bruins, Celtics, and Sox but I have no problem pulling for the Nats, O's and Caps; it actually gives me more viewing options at night. I will cheer for Nats O's and Caps but it has none of the passion that I have for my first loves. I even yelled "F_ck you Caps!" last night after Chara's goal. Nor will you catch me with any Nats, O's or Caps gear.

Hah and what if they didn't exist when i was growing up? Alot of DC sports fans support all teams here. So when the Nats came in, we support.
