[12thMan]

Headed to the Nats game this evening. Strassy on the mound and a brew in hand.

i loosely follow the orioles. they are my favorite baseball team, but that's not saying much. i like baseball slightly more than hockey and slightly less than basketball.

nationals fans under the age of 40 are like ravens fans under the age of 30, can't trust 'em

As a Nats fan under 40, I'm curious to know why. I've been following the Nats since they moved back to DC. I followed the Orioles prior to that, but never got into them too much since they are Baltimore's team.

Yeah same here. Why can't I be trusted?

No they weren't? They're Baltimore's home team, I can claim that they were the team I followed most closely due to geographical location but that never means I claimed them as my team.

As an Expos fan growing up, and a DC area native...I'm well within my rights to root for the Nationals

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?

not a loyal dog that's fo sho

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.
