Only for Nationals fans who live in the D.C. area. I have never lived in or near D.C. and I really don't care about the Orioles.But yeah the Nats and Orioles don't get along. True story: I once met a girl who had moved down here to Texas from Maryland. I said "Oh, I'm a Nats fan." She said "Go Birds" and never spoke to me again.
... ... ...Umm, yes? (You've succeeded in rendering me speechless. Most here will attest the impossibility of such a feat.)
haha. i just thought because they are in 2 different leagues and "share" (I use that term loosely) MASN maybe there was no real rivalry. guess i was wrong. lol
Just curious since I'm new to the area, is there a Nationals-Orioles rivalry?
along these lines i founds this video i thought was funny
freak Baltimore, hell freak Maryland
i know they don't meet every year, but is there a Redskins Ravens rivalry at all?
The orioles are a garbage franchise in a garbage city, and we would not dignify them with a rivalry. However, most of us do hate them, but that's because they kept baseball out of DC for 30+ years.
The real rivalry we have is with the Phillies. Atlanta is second. The O's are not even on the radar.Sure, we hate 'em because Angelos kept us from having a team for so long, but that's a fading memory.
Yeah, that's where my original question was kind of hinting at. I understand Nl East rivalries and NL rivalries... i get the the O's tried their best to prevent a team from coming to washington...but does that really cause a rivalry? To me that kinda just seems like political crap...not real rivalry.
Oh, there's genuine hate there but the longer we have a team, it'll fade.
