What's Going On, Baltimore?

We are in the midst of a Baltimore sports collapse right now.
The Ravens had a fantastic season last season, with a 13-3 record and a first round bye in the playoffs. Then came the hated Indianapolis Colts (back)into town and the Ravens offense was horrendous, even though the defense was great. Neither team put a touchdown on the board, but Vinatieri's 5 field goals was enough to secure a win. That must have carried over into this past season, where they started off 4-2, but then went on to lose 9 straight games and end the season with a 5-11 mark, last in the AFC North. We then fired Billick and currently have no direction whatsoever.
With the Orioles, where do I begin? We have never been the same after that infamous Jeff Maier incident and have had losing records for like 10 straight years. The Birds were doing fairly well in 2005 until Raffy wagged his finger at congress and our whole season went down the drain. Our ownership is horrible and stubborn as they refuse to sell the team to a more worthy owner, like Cal Ripken. There was the "Free The Birds" rally that accomplished absolutely nothing because, like I said, the ownership is stubborn and refused to aknowledge that we were unhappy. They made a huge mistake in hiring Leo Mazzzone and signed a contract with Dave Trembley (who?) to be their manager instead of trying harder to find a proven one. Then came the Mitchel Report, where the Orioles were heavily represented (I think about 19 players).
Can somebody please tell me what is going on?

Jeffrey Maier will get his ass kicked in the state of Maryland.

@burns1210 No he's scouting for the Cleveland Indians. For real!

@CircaMay85 Yeah whatever happened to that little brat Maier?

Besides the Ravens best thing going on Balt these days is Morgan St hoops. 2 straight NCAA tourney appearances & a coach back on the rise in (46 yr old) Todd Bozeman. I'm surprised more & more big name schools didn't go after him. He won't be at MSU too much longer. He'll get nabbed by a big school for sure.

well just to be fair we did go after joe girardi but he signed with the yankees prolly for sentimental reasons since he played on their 90's world series teams

Good, move North

RAVENS 3-0 BABY

[burns1210]

Gibbons...what's he doing these days? Mowing lawns?

We would have gone to Baltimore with a 2-0 advantage, thats a pretty big momentum changer, going home 2-0 in a best of 7 is much better than 1-1. We wouldn't have had to go back to Yankee Stadium.
