Do you have a bad W/L record while attending games?

I had press passes from 2001-2019. You tell me what you think my W-L record was. :D

Seriously though, our Hangout nights used to have a pretty decent record despite some bad teams.

I mean, I'm going to today, so that 100% means a loss. So we're already down one.

Me too. I can’t even remember the last time I saw a win. 
 

But we should just hope this game gets cancelled mid game because we have no chance of winning. Maybe there will be like too many female streakers or something. 
 

It’s going to suck really bad to watch Josh Donaldson and Aaron Judge hit a combined 8 HR this series.

You can get the Yankees +400 for the sweep. I’m taking my mortgage money and putting it all on that bet at the new sportsbook lounge at OPACY. It’ll be nice to party all summer while you suckers pay your mortgages. 
 

Lead pipe lock. Borrow from your retirement. Retire early.

If you're John Angelos, this must be a weird one. On the one hand, the home opener series vs the Yankees is going to bring in buckets of cash. On the other hand, if the O's get swept, it could cause thousands of casual fans to simply assume the team sucks and they go spend their money elsewhere for the rest of the season. It's also gonna be like 40 degrees for tomorrow night's game which means it will be like 98% Yankees fans.

So if I understand you correctly, you think that the MLB scheduler is, to borrow a phrase from Earl Weaver, "is here just to **** us?"

BTW, that quote is the most irrational, but hilarious quote probably ever captured during an umpire argument. I had to laugh when the Umpire Bill Haller said back to him during the argument, "Oh you're going to be in the Hall of Fame? Why? For F***ing up World Series!" 

Ouch man, very ouch! :D

One day I'm going to do a piece on the 1979 World Series and how Earl's very strange bullpen usage may have actually cost the Orioles that series. 

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Earl. He was my manager growing up so there's a special place in my heart for him, but yeah, his team's did come up small more than big in the playoffs and World Series upon retrospect.

    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
