Which is kind of the point, in the grand scheme. The entire scope of the Baltimore sport fan, and let's face it...Dan isn't the only one. We're all representing different aspects of fans, you know? But I'm glad we're generating this debate amongst ourselves.

Now, we need to get the word out to the masses.

That's pretty common, Dan. I think it's a side effect of baseball being a 162 game season, you know? Plus, there's that old joke with teeth: Baltimore is a football town with a baseball problem.

the ravens arent my excuse. My feelings on it are that by the time football rolls around, I can't take anymore nightly beatings courtesy of the O's. I love 'em I do. I grew up with the O's and they will always be my team. I just can't watch them flounder all season long. Maybe I am a shitty fan, but I give it my all every year and they dont reciprocate the effort. IMO

You're missing the point.

Your desire for "stimulation" doesn't prevent you from watching or rooting for both teams in that short period they are both in-season.

That's what I was getting at: if you don't WANT to watch the Orioles, fine, but don't use the Ravens as an excuse.

I love both teams. My problem is, with so many games, the orioles start to lose me as the season drifts out of control. Every year I burn with orioles magic. And every year it crumbles to ashes within months. this year alone I went to 7 games in the first two months. I was at Wieters second game when he got on base for the first time. I was pumped. But they started to drop off again and the
