I like the booing

Although we as fans don't go to the Yard in the 3 million person range anymore (there's a reason for that, O's FO), when we do show up we need to show that we're not happy with the losing.

When they play like ****, boo them. When you leave a closer in to give up the tying run and then the go ahead run when he obviously doesn't have it, boo Trembley. When Izturis is facing a wild pitcher and fouls out on the first pitch, boo him. When the O's have runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs and can't score, boo them. And then don't go back anymore.

I've reached a breaking point. This is my last year of watching ****ty baseball.

Hey, it only took like 13 years of losing.......... the fans might finally be a little tired of the same ol' results.

Half the fans there today won't be paying attention in a month.

They'll probably have good reason. It's hard to pay attention when they're most likely going to be 15 or so games out.

Half the fans there today won't be paying attention tomorrow.

Fixed that for you.

Well said, Orioles fans have been patient long enough. And it has nothing to do with the last few games. The Orioles need to re-establish their winning tradition right now. We can't settle for less. We must to expect to win, any less is unacceptable.

How does booing help anything though? Gonzalez actually holds himself accountable for his mistakes.

So we should cheer him?

Sure, why not.

Only you would make this leap of illogic. Brilliant. I should no longer be surprised by the worthlessness of your posts.

Soon the booing by Orioles fans will turn to cheering by Red Sox and Yankees fans. The wonderful sounds of spring/summer in Baltimore.

I will say this though. This kind of stuff makes for some great reading on the hangout!!! (Although I obviously want a few more wins!) Much more entertaining. So glad were past the offseason and the hundreds of trade proposal threads.

Love you too beautiful.

It's not just for him. It's for MacPhail, it's for Angelos, It's for the people sitting in the seat next to you. We're not the Pirates, we're not the Royals. We've allowed the perception of our team to be "they're a small market in the toughest division in baseball who have no chance to compete." We're not a small market team, we're not poor. People cry for a salary cap while we used to have attendance marks over 3 million, we have a RSN, we have one of the best stadiums in baseball. Yet, we fans complain about the Yankees and the Red Sox and how much money they have. If you turn the clock back 12 years, we were in a very similar situation as both of those teams. They continued to win, we turned to ****. Yeah, NY has a huge market size, but to pull a Pedro and call them our daddy isn't what this organization was about for decades.

Every year, I tell my friends how excited I am about the start of the new season. They chuckle a little bit and say the O's suck. And I say, "Man, have you heard about (Roberts, Markakis, the way Guthrie pitched last year, Wieters, Bauer, Riley, etc., depending on the year)? They're about to turn the corner." Every year, I look like a fool. I'm tired.

And, for the record, this isn't a reactionary thread about today's game. It's a culmination of the last 12 years with today giving me the feeling that we're a long way away still.
