Checking in on the local teams

Heard on the radio first thing this morning:

"Orioles fans.....

"Brian Roberts came back from an early season injury to lead the league in stolen bases and be among the leaders in batting average, on-base percentage and hits over the last month. What will he do over the next month?

"The O's take on the Padres Tuesday night. Don't miss the action."


Let's pretend for a minute that B-Rob could be one of the major draws of the American League (even though currently ranked 72nd in Yahoo's player rankings). Here's what happened to the O's in the next few hours:

-- Manager Sam Perlozzo was canned.

-- The team snapped its eight game losing streak ... by taking a day off.

-- The team was sent out of town. They say its for a six-game road trip, but ...


You can really feel the brob. Don't miss the action.

Let's see, no mention of the Phillies. No Flyers. No Sixers. Not even any Eagles chants. Nope, I don't see any mention of local teams. Just blah, blah, blahdity, blah.

Paulie -- somebody has to pay attention to these losers because the "locals" down here just try to forget they have a team. It's fun for us to live in a place where the fans are suffering even more than we do!
