News Baltimore Orioles Vs. Tampa Bay Rays - in Baltimore - no FANS - Empty STADIUM!

[Harmon]

A sad day in America...

Fucking savages.

The sun was out ? perfect spring baseball weather. The scoreboard in right-center field lit up with the starting lineups. But it was so quiet at first pitch that you could hear the click of camera shutters.

And the fans were on the wrong side of the gates.

Their city still uneasy after a riot two days earlier, the Baltimore Orioles locked up their ballpark and played a game Wednesday with nobody in the stands. The low murmur of a weekday afternoon crowd was replaced with eerie silence.

"Baseball history will be made here today," play-by-play broadcaster Gary Thorne said to the TV camera as he went on the air. But it wasn't the kind of history anybody wanted to make.

Foul balls clattered into empty seats. TV viewers heard only the scattered encouraging shouts of players in the dugout. A first-inning home run by the Orioles' Chris Davis was met with the muffled enthusiasm of a golf tournament.

"We need this game to be played," Orioles outfielder Adam Jones told reporters, "but we need the city to be healed first."

Should've allowed the public in - but only people who could provide proof of employment (current pay stub).

That would largely filter out the dindu nuffins troublemakers.

Was actually against the Chicago White Sox, not the Rays.

But, they moved the Rays/Orioles games this weekend to Tampa that were supposed to be played in Baltimore.

But that would not be political correct, you have to consider peoples feelings.

I haven't received a pay stub since 2002. I haven't received a ccbill check since 08 when I set up bank wires. That is so stupid.

"Ya I'll let you in to watch the game I just have to call your boss to check your employment creds."

Weird and sad day for Baseball, Baltimore and America.

TV news shows however will love the eerie visuals.

Need I explain the joke?

Nahhh, nvm.

You're right, that's so stupid. Much better sense playin' to an empty stadium.
