More 'Orioles Hangout' goodness
http://forum.orioleshangout.com/foru...-Hurts-So-Much
Why This Loss Hurts So Much I completely disagree with those who say we had more talent than the Royals. In fact, I think we had the least amount of talent starting the playoffs than any other team in the AL. We had an offense missing 3 starters. There isn't another team in the AL that could have done more under these conditions. The reason it hurts so bad is that we lucked into the best matchup possible and our magic ran out. I was hoping beyond hope for more magic but was cognizant of the fact that our offense wasn't going to be able to score in Detroit, Oakland or Kansas City. We need more speed. We need more obp. We need more consistency. The most painful thing about this is that our luck got transferred to a team that wasn't much better than us. Make no mistake, had we gotten their luck, we could have won. The answer is to get better because next year, we may find ourselves facing a team with a 200-250 million cap in the playoffs. KC didn't swing for the hills. WE did... every. Single. Time. It was like clockwork. Yost did the same thing pretty much every game. Grind out a couple of runs, swap in a few pinch runners in late innings and manage the bullpen properly. And now they're going to the WS and we aren't. MSK We had plenty of opportunities, especially with bases loaded, to counteract the luck the classless royals displayed. For some reason following the first game loss we seemed to choke and lose belief in ourselves - which is maddening because that belief has won us so many games this year. It is a shame we didn't get the Angels as I think they were a better matchup for us and think we would be WS bound right now, but it wasn't to be. I don't think the royals luck can continue, and think - and hope - it will be a procession for the NL winners. Just gutted really. Such an immense opportunity now gone. And to think a few weeks ago many were talking up a possible beltway WS, and I was certain we would be there with or without the Nats. Oh, and on another note - if the Os had reached the WS I would have won ?500 and if they won that, it would be ?2000 - so extra gutted to get this close and throw it away |

I swear that's the grammar of ChiefsandO'sbundle of sticks. That's the exact type mistakes he makes. I'd bet it's him. Check his posts and you'll probably find 15k of his 17k posts are all twitter updates.

A bunch of Orioles fans quickly coming to CP to search the names SNR and Hootie.
Gosh, I hope they go back a few years. There is some really good shit.

Human nature being what it is there will be some Oriolerkers who can't stay away from CP now. I frankly think it's an unhealthy compulsion that will lead many of them to a life of drugs and prostitution. But that's gotta be better than being on that hangout.
Hiiii guys. You all seem nice.

![]() ![]() ![]() When the Orioles were in the ALCS, they were worried about banning their own because certain guys were too ****ing negative. They also had a bunch of TROLL ALERT threads going on at the time. Those fans are so ****ing worried about getting trolled. It's like they think they're Jason ****ing Bourne and people are out to get them |

Only the people who don't know how to use twitter, and really, only 10% of them. So like, 3 people. Maybe...
I couldn't name any of them. |

He's not bad. He follows people I don't follow or I don't know about so I don't mind him posting tweets.
And I don't think that's him in that post anyway.

They call us losers? I beg to differ. My broom broke from smacking a toothless b-more douchebag too many times.
WTF is Baltimore famous for, anyway? Let's see... A murdering football player that got away with it, crabs, Omar from The Wire and section 8 housing. Anything else? |
