I think you went to too many games.
I went to five Nats games and one Orioles game this year. That's the most I've ever been to, and that feels like about my max. It helps that I was I different people with me for each game (well the husband-wife-daughter combination was the same for two games). It also helped that the Nats were 4-1 in games I attended (the loss being a ninth inning come from behind affair), and the O's were 1-0.
Almost all male professional athletes are grossly overpaid. And will always be so, unless the fans protest with non-attendance and nonviewing. Which won't happen, because we're a world full of blockheads.
I'm still taking the sign! Even if they don't make the playoffs, I still believe...
And I'm a happy Orioles fan even if they don't. Nothing like going to games at the end of September happy that they had a good season instead of all depressed like I did for 14 years.
The Season ended in August when JJ blew all those saves. I haven't been to a game in September. I have one game left that I have on Stubhub. Hopefully a Red Sox fan takes it off my hands. I think the problem with baseball is that it is just boring. Without beer and a close game and lots of screaming fans it is pretty unbearable. Last 3 games I went to were pretty bad loses. Maybe going to too many games is my problem.
It would be cool if we could get another sport in Baltimore. Soccer would be good. Baseball players are way overpaid for what they do. What do they say? Baseball players are paid for what they have done in the past and Football players are paid for what they will do in the future.
