Watching the baseball game between Baltimore and Boston. Notice how carefully I phrases that comment... not saying watching the Orioles play baseball. The last two seasons, plus this year, the Orioles continue to trade any most of the good players. It's all under the premise that they are sacrificing (that's a baseball term) the current team for the future of building a younger better team that can develop into a contending team once again. So when I questioned this, as many other fans have, we have been told the we don't understand anything about baseball. What I do understand, as many fans have, it's not much fun to watch the Orioles be the second worst team in baseball.... Especially when it seems that the Orioles do everything to make sure they are among the worst. This is reflected by the fans since attendance is third worst in the league, according to this article. So, are they truly working to build the team of the future by what's happening the past three seasons? Perhaps.. but how long will the fans support the team via attendance or watching the team on tv? Apparently fans via attendance indicate that things have reached their limit.
I been thinking about the first "Major League" movie where the owners got rid of all the good players, to have the worst team in baseball, so attendance and fan support would hit rock bottom, so they could move the team to another city. Seemed like a far fetched notion.. and then this articles appeared. Maybe ... not just a feeling.
