EarlJam's Enemy List
- His neighbor
- Angelos
- who else?
Texas Rangers: 30
Baltimore Orls: 3
The O's were up 3-0 going into the top of the 4th. Now I know this particular game is not Angelos' fault, however, well, hey, us O's fans know. The guy has to go.
Our once very proud franchise has become a laughing stock. Baltimore fans deserve better. This is just embarrassing.

P.S. EarlJam does not really want Peter Angelos to perish. EarlJam recognizes that the man has likely done plenty of good for the community. EarlJam was simply using the term "die" as a metaphor for a desire to have him replaced by someone more competent.

The ESPN headline has the 30 run output as an MLB record high since 1900.
Perhaps the Toronto Argonauts (Canadian Football) will be playing at home when EarlJam visits Toronto?
To make matters worse, I just saw a report that the O's are rehiring their current manager.
Cheers?

The people of Baltimore wanted to canonize Angelos after the last Orioles world championship, hon.
Texas up 3-0 in the 3rd inning of game 2 by the way.

And the Rangers had 29 hits. Without perusing the box score for double plays, that means they had 2 more hits than outs. They were 29 for 56 - they had a .518 batting average for the game! If there were (some) double plays, where one at bat accounted for more than one out, it is higher than that. Amazing.
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

What a horrible day for O's fans. I remember when we signed Tejada and there was a glimmer of hope. Bedard has been the lone bright spot since the the O's fake playoff run 3 years ago. We must be trying to build from the draft but I haven't heard many rumors of any dynamo pitching studs in our minor leagues... *Sigh*
...9 more in game two. That's 29 for the day. What's the record for that? Oops, 39. Math still sucks. I read OK but don't figure so well.

I heard they set the record for runs scored in a double-header... before the 2nd game started
It isn't easy to give up 30 runs in six innings. That, combined with their 0-21 start of '88 (also not an easy task) and I don't know whether to be quite impressed or simply mortified.
Oh! The Woes of the O's!
And while we are talking baseball woes, the Braves suck lemons too. They are going, going, going.......almost gone.

I think it's time for O's fans to storm the palace and dethrone the proverbial king.
Is there any way O's fans can legally oust Angelos?
This is probably the brightest spot on a most depressing year for the Rangers. We're still the second worst team in the AL, and still have no pitching.
As far as the Braves go, well, it feels like only two weeks ago Tex was the savior who was going to win them the pennant...
I don't see how O's fans would win with this scenario. Plus that would mean we're fair weather fans. And you're right, Angelos would get more money from MLB. That's my whole issue with him. He doesn't care about having a winning team, just making money. Though if he had a contender he would make money.
I guess what I was proposing was some way to make the O's lose money, a lot of money, to the point where Angelos would want to sell the team. I think it's different from being a fair weather fan, but more of a boycott - you still support the O's but won't contribute money, because you know that in the long run it will make the team worse.
