A Note About Baseball in Baltimore

Dear Baltimorons:

Brooks (and Frank) haven't been Orioles for over 30 years. Brooks retired in 77. The mayflower took the colts away 25 years ago. Grow up. You have a new NFL team that has a Super Bowl Trophy.

You've been bitching about management bringing the O's veterans, so they built from within and have prospects and now you're bitching they have prospects instead of veterans. Make up your minds. I'll see all of you that are 'disappointed' in the team at the Yard in 2-3 years pretending you stood by the team the whole time.

I find it entertaining that Baltimore's big 'Dundalk born and raised' media constantly bashes the Baseball Organization in this city. Maybe that has something to do with the team revoking media passes the season after he staged a protest in the team's stadium? Possibly still bitter, hurt and confused that a professional organization doesn't like to be publicly humiliated?

Don't get me wrong Nestor, I understand the irritation that some members of the sports media are loyalists, or even apologists, but that doesn't meant that you have to be a complete pessimist and detractor to every aspect of major league baseball in the city to balance the scale. I thought you prided yourself on your journalism? Isn't a big part of journalism objective criticism? Congrats on swaying the sheeple with your Dundalk accent. I don't buy it.

But hey, what do I know? I'm just a fan. All I know is just as I hate the Red Sox fans mysteriously showing up in Baltimore after they win a ring, I'll despise you and your brethren jumping on the O's bandwagon when the pendulum swings the other way.
