From The City That Reeds

Beantown got taught a lesson in humility last night, and needless to say it was much deserved. The Orioles comeback victory is what both teams needed  so next time Boston can check their arrogance at the door and actually finish the game with a 17-1 win.

The bandwagon of Red Sox fans overpowered O’s fans in Camden Yards with probably some of the stupidest reasons for following a team. My own roommate loves the Red Sox, would you like to know why? Sure you would, its because he was recruited to a couple of Boston area schools for lacrosse. Yeah, seriously-and he lives in Michigan who actually has a decent baseball team.

But following the rain delay and the 10-1 lead, the Sox came back out as if they were playing the Westminster Salvo Auto Parts Gremlins.

The Sox were all smiles and stupidity after the delay. The grandest of all was when they ran off the field with only two outs, the type of arrogance that proved that Boston did not respect the Orioles. But why should they? Baltimore is the last place team in the AL East, nonetheless Boston, you still have to play the game.

Even with help last night from the umpires Boston still failed to finish the O’s off. Oh, do you need proof? How about when Kevin Youkilis faked to get hit by a pitch and the umpire allowed it, giving Youkilis a RBI. Don’t believe me? Well when jolly ole Kevin was ACTUALLY hit by pitch later in the game, his acting skills were dispelled by his real pain and agony, its all in the reaction ladies and gentlemen.

You find me a Boston fan that lives outside of the state of Massachusetts, and its not hard, who cares about the Bruins. Ask them if they can name three players on the Bruins team, and I can almost guarantee you, that nine out of 10 cannot.

I blame ESPN for creating the Boston nation, and it starts with Bill Simmons. Bill Simmons gets his own freaking three billion word column once a week to cream all over the greatness of Boston sports and give virtual fellatio to Tom Brady. Almost every sporting event you go to there will be a Boston fan present, regardless if a Boston team is playing,  and I blame you ESPN.

But nothing will change, in a week O’s fans will be as miserable as always- 20 games out of the race with no hope of ever winning the AL East because every other team in the division is good. However, last night Baltimore fans were just lucky enough to withstand the storm an
