good one.
pointing out that the simple generalities being forwarded by those who usually are accusing the same thing of some other group was merely that, a point made

Either that or the Orioles' owner ran for cover before the cameras could see the look on his face.

Seems quite unsportsmanlike to pummel the other team like that. I didn't think we did that anymore.

Are you much of a baseball fan? I mean it isn't like guys are going to go to the plate and try to strike out. You take the pitches the other team throws you and you try to make contact. You don't intentionally go out to hit 30+ runs, or at least you don't go into a game and expect to hit like that. They say in baseball that hitting is contagious, last night it turned into a epidemic. Last night was a fluke and it was pretty cool that it happened in our lifetime.

I watch the game, like the sport, but not a big baseball fan. I'm just saying that you can tone it down, after you score 9 runs in one inning and see that happening again. The coach pulls the big guys and let's so of the other guys play. I don't know, and I don't really care since it wasn't "my" team getting spanked.

Well, it is worth noting, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ramon Vazquez, the bottom two batters in Texas' lineup, each homered twice and finished with seven RBIs.
"That was ridiculous. I have never been in anything like that in my life," said Saltalamacchia, who went 4-for-6 with a walk and scored five runs. He came in batting .179 and finished at .262.
.....I mean that is just remarkable. This pounding was coming from up & down the order. Like I said, a fluke night. I don't see anything unsportsmanlike about it.

Ooooohhhh. I quit watching the Birds (and baseball altogether) when Cal retired, but still this is sad.
