Can I pretend I never lived in Baltimore?

As a kid, I was a "Junior Oriole". This meant that we got cheap bleacher seats, in the old Memorial Stadium, to see the home games. We also got all sorts of cool give aways, and got invited to special pre-game events. I was a huge fan all the way through college. I went to a few games after Camden Yards become the home of the Orioles, but it wasn't quite the same. Then, I moved to new england. I never became a Red Sox fan (and probably never will). However, every time the Orioles played the Sox or the Yankees, I rooted for the birds. Today, I simply must hang my head in shame. This is a travesty of epic proportions:

Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles 30 to 3. The Rangers scored the most runs in a single game in the last 110 years. Yikes! How do you show your face in public again after suffering that kind of defeat? Do you try to look on the bright side, "I was in a record breaking game!"

Heh. Yeah. No amount of PPT is going to help those boys tonight.

I saw that and was amazed. And that comes on the heels of them making the temporary manager permanent. Talk about a whuppin'!
