ESPN can't let it go

Meanwhile, the Cinderella team of the American League bracket upset yet another higher-seed team in the AL championship. By a margin of 3,103 votes, fans declared they prefer the orange and black Baltimore Orioles over the traditional uniform worn by everyone from Babe Ruth to Derek Jeter. Or perhaps fans just hate the Yankees' pinstripes.

I might spend the next 4 hours at my desk just voting in "incognito mode"

To be fair, Tony, it's not really alllll ESPN this time -- it's Jim Caple trying to rationalize the win by the 13th-seeded team in his AL bracket. Sorry Jim, ya just screwed it up! Put on your big boy pants and own it! :laughlol:

Mentioning "incognito mode" has seriously cut into my nap time.

I like how he managed to slip in that people should check out the caps. In the video where Lukas and Caple discuss their seedings, prior to the voting, Lukas is very surprised by Caples ranking of the O's and A's. As near as I can tell, Caple just REALLY hates the white-panel cap.

Still 55-45% at 2,800+ votes...We need to get all the remaining St. Louis Browns fans to vote too....stick it to the Cardinals once and for all.

Wow...how in the hell are we beating the Cardinals?

Wow...how in the hell are we beating the Cardinals?

These things tend to be won by the fanbase that wants it the most.

I honestly like our Uni's better than theirs. The Baltimore Gray Uni is my favorite.

Don't count on it. He just posted an article today talking about how disappointed he is that some old retro uniforms he hated as a kid are starting to come back strong (and he included the Orioles).

........ "these caps and jerseys just inspire painful memories in fans old enough to remember when they were worn on the field by the likes of Mario Mendoza, Bob Kearney and Salome Barojas rather than by young fans standing in line for beer."

*********************************

Painful Memories ??? He describes baseball uniforms that he disliked as "Painful memories???"

I would hate to think of how Caple would have survived alcoholism from his parents, an absentee father (or mother), and/or physical and emotional abuse at the hands of parents, teachers, and relatives.

Caple's whining is as annoying as a sore loser of a silly uniform contest could possibly be.

Baltimore Oriole Fans are the Best Pound for Pound fans in the world.
