Quotes signs "Saverna Park hates you" and "we hate you"

Colin says "there's a big difference between being passionate and saying 'I hate you'"

Says sarcastically that Tex would be a better person if he took less money and went to work every day with no hope of making the post season.

One fan calls in and says "Yeah O's fans boo Teixeira but when the Yanks show up and he sits out, they feel like they've been ripped off" Colin agrees O's fans are selective.

Another fan calls in and refers to the Tex relationship as him "dumping" the Orioles. Colin can't see it at all. "You never had him in the first place... how could he dump you?"

Another fan calls in and says we (Orioles) have been waiting for a winning team for a long time and we're overdoing it with the booing. Colin says good call "Passion is no excuse for hate. Get a life haters."

I don't think he has a problem with the booing just the hating. He feels some fans crossed the line. I don't.

It's just a game but a very emotional one for a lot of us and we take things personal. That's just the way it is.

I'll stand on the side of the haters. :). Wrong or not, we have to stand for something. Had we been given a chance to beat the offer and couldn't, maybe things would be different. Hating him may bring as much life to Baltimore as loving him would have... at least when the Yankees are in town.

Maybe the "hates" thing is a little extreme, but who cares. Is Tex gonna go home and cry himself to sleep because of it? Professional athletes with over $100 mill should know they need to have some thick skin. The fans will do as they want.

Your mistake was listening to that moronic imbecile in the first place. Why bother listening to an angry, bitter, know-nothing? If you pay attention to the lowest common denominator of sports talk, expect to hear LCD-level content.

You can boo a guy all you want and talk about how you hate him all you want, but directing those types of insults at a guy is crossing the line. Booing is part of sports past, present, and future. Personal insults have no place in the game.

Just more confirmation that me not listening to, nor watching, ESPN has been the correct choice for me over the past few years. Since when did having a passionate crowd at a sporting event become a bad thing? I expected nothing less, and loved hearing it on the TV.

These "journalists" are making more out of this than the players are. Then again, ESPN needs to step up to the plate and be the Yankee apologists that they typically are.

I didn't read this but I sort of agree that it is possible to go over the top. Do I want Tex to be ashamed? Sure. Do I want him to regret choosing the Yankees? Yes. But some people on here are talking about stuff like "haha I bet his family is miserable" and stuff like that. I get passion, but that's a bit bizarre. I don't really want him to suffer.

      O's Acquire Thyago Vieira

      By Phil Beckett · Posted

      Wake me up when it happens. I haven’t seen anything yet. I guess this guy had no plans at all when he bought the team. Typical. Just another arrogant billionaire. This is another reason the fans should own the team. I can see tons of things this team could be doing better. I do believe though Mike Elias is fantastic. I’ve heard other people worry that he might leave the team and I was horrified when he mentioned the lift off and then the Angelos’s completely pulled the plug on him and made him look like a fool. I thought he was gonna quit and join another team.   and I absolutely am not the only person who thought that. It was mentioned here and on Camden chat and all the oriole chat rooms on Facebook and everywhere else. You can tell I’m a big fan of the Orioles.     Heck, lots of people were saying that too. Not just me. I’ll bet there other threads here on the same subject.

      I understand your disdain for the Angelos ownership.  I'm hesitant to paint Rubenstein with the same brush. He's doing and saying things that are as diametrically opposed to the old regime as I can possible imagine

      I can’t believe y’all are even engaging with this nonsense.   As to the merits of this move, it looks like an effort at marginal improvement.  Probably a nothingburger, but sometimes these moves surprise.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By emmett16 · Posted

      I watched Cade pitch tonight on the Worcester broadcast.  The announcers were gushing over him.  He didn’t have his good stuff or command but battled.  He gave up 2 HR early and then settled in.  He was at 73 pitches in the 5th when Holliday booted a routine ball that cost him about ~10+ pitches or he’d likely have gone 7.  It was good to see him battle without his A stuff.  He still hasn’t given up more than 3 runs in a game on the season.

      It’s real easy just to forget 30 years of crap from that lousy billionaire and then another billionaire I don’t know anything about buys the team.   And you’re not suspicious at all?   Maybe that’s why our country sucks up the billionaires all the time.   I hate them. I wish they didn’t own the team. I wish the fans owned the team. Billionaires only think of profit. I always think about Cal Ripken and how great his career could’ve been if he wasn’t stuck stuck on the cheap Angelo’s teams where he never got to play in the World Series. So all we get to hear about is stupid Derek Jeter.

      Can't you see what you're doing? You're blaming the current ownership for the cheap ass Angelos ownership.

      Stop saying I’m going to cry about anything. It’s rude and telling
