The thing that p*sses me off the most isn't the Sox Nation coming in and taking over like it does in every stadium they play in (the exception, _maybe_ ,being Yankee Stadium), it's the shameless pandering of the stadium itself to the Bosox fans. At any game where the Red Sox are in town, you can go into the one of the various ORIOLES STORES inside the stadium and buy Red Sox gear.

It's getting to the point that no matter who we're playing, there's an audible cheer when the opposing team gets a hit. It's not always overpowering like the BoSox or Yankees; but we shouldn't be able to hear Oakland A's fans at Camden Yards AT ALL.
