One of the worst losses I've ever seen in all my years as an Orioles fan. Up 7-0, then 7-1 in the 7th, eventually lose 8-7. That's it, we've hit rock bottom.

It was worse for me, sitting in a section half full of braves fans. Ah the Braves, only the Yankees, Red Sox, and Cubs have more bandwagon fans.

I agree with your assessment all the way up through the Cubs. Their fans have been there through all the losing through all the years, all 96 consecutive years of them.

That was painful to watch ... so much for this club competing this year. Hopefully they can add an arm or two (or three) next year and stay in the race.

the thing about the braves is that they dont have too many fans in atlanta because everybody in atlanta moved down there and grew up rooting for other teams

Why not include the Orioles fans? Seems to me since you guys started losing, ol' Camden Yards doesn't see as many fans as they used to, hence Angelos doing all of his crying about his team not being able to withstand another franchise so close. If they won more games, they would sell more seats. Simple math if you ask me, but then those that would come should be considered bandwagoners, right?

BTW, most bandwagoners don't show their faces when the their team has a losing record as MY Braves do, so what makes them (us) bandwagoners?

Yeah the problem with the attendance at Camden Yards is that Angelos is asking WAY too much money for a team that has no chance of winning. Nobody wants to pay up the bejeezus to see a team that sucks. Makes no sense. Theres no salary cap, and Angelos is loaded, do what the Yankees do.
