I come to repent

[Dr. Unk]

I have to admit that although I look at the scores every night, I found it hard to watch this team early on.  I have been sucked in lately, and I feel like Major League, saying who the #### are these guys, but damn, they are really fun to watch.  I'm pretty stoked for the future.  Looks like this rebuild may be going somewhere, finally.  Please forgive my sins.

Lol.  Been with them since the early 70's, but they've made it tough for a while.

Son, you must say ‘mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa’ 200 times as your penance.

I posted this elsewhere. Growing up as a kid in Edmondson Heights in the 70s, My dad introduced me to an O's team that was the most successful team of that era. I remember the 1979 through 1983 stretch where they were the "super F-ing" ball club. My dad had tickets to game 6 of the '83 World Series. I didn't get to go (for obvious reasons) but just figured that I would get my chance to go another WS in the years to come. 

Almost 40 years without playing in a World Series. That's so depressing when you frame it like that

My Dad took me in 1965.. I was first aware of the Orioles when they actually were one of the truly great dynasties … i have been to 1 game in every World Series they have played .. that  83 Series was me and my now ex brother-in-law law

i have raised two adult children since 1983 telling them both growing up that we are at the next World Series .. now I tell my 8 year old granddaughter that too lol

What was great also about 1966 was not only winning but the Yankees finishing 10th… before divisions started in 1969 lol

It's so funny. My twins were born in 2000. Around 2009 my daughter said to me "Dad, why do you like the Orioles? They never win."

Mine too...but started in '68.  Literally my oldest of 4 thinks my Oriole obsession is "cute".  She called to give condolences when the streak stopped at 10 wins.
