Orioles versus Nationals

[BDBohnzie]

i have the same dilemma. my fiancee looks at me funny when i talk about going to Nats games over O's games...logically, since i work in Falls Church, it's much easier for me to hit Nats games after work than O's games...

I've come to the conclusion that I am still an O's fan, but will root for the Nats. Can't help but do so. I too am fed up with the way that Angelos has handled the team, and would love an excuse to jump ship...but I simply can't do it. my loyalties are too strong...

i remember my first O's game...1986, O's/A's in a makeup that was too almost rained out...luckily we were sitting under the mezzanine at Memorial Stadium. I was 7 years old, and all i remember was that the final score was 4-1, and Ripken advanced twice on wild pitches. i actually just found the box score...Canseco played in that game, and Dave Stewart started for the A's.

so i've been an O's fan for almost 20 years...well, at least from when i understood until now...can't turn my back now. if i knew a time when the Senators were here, maybe...but since that was way before my time, i'm an O's fan.
