Re: Baltimore Orioles fans feedback?

I heard this news this morning and I was not surprised one bit. These guys talk a good game but they lie through their teeth. "I took something that was not a steroid but caused a positive result." WTF are you taking?

I lost all faith in baseball (and most sports) after the strikes in the 80's and 90's. The records for homeruns do not come close to what was accomplished 50 years ago. The ball wasn't loaded then and the outfield walls weren't so damn close to the plate. Sorry, the game is just not inspiring and is normally boring as hell.

I will say that Ripkin Jr. deserves his record. To play that many games without a break is truly incredible. He's the last thing that came out of the Orioles that Baltimore can be proud of, IMOHO.

I do occasionally go to a minor league game here in Bowie. Those are a blast. The hometown, goofy atmosphere where people have fun is what baseball is all about. MLB has lost that touch in it's greed.

Agreed. I've boycotted MLB for years. It was getting bad enough when Angelos tried to buy a 1st place team instead of the old fashioned way of bringing talent up through the minors. Then there were the strikes or threat of strikes. It also burned me to see players running after balls with a couple pounds of gold around their necks. The last straw for me was when they gave out a $200M contract. I won't spend $5 on a hotdog or give them any of my money to be given to these overpaid players with egos the size of their paychecks.
