Re: High possibility Ray Lewis throws opening day first pitch for O's
I know a couple people that went to the game and they thought it was great; couldn't help but get teary eyed...
and it gives the kids some history and perspective to remember too IMO.

Re: High possibility Ray Lewis throws opening day first pitch for O's
I understand all of that....
I guess one of my biggest issues is that it was built up by the organization and marketing team as some big attraction. It could have been both and, arguably done even more effectively if the moment of silence came right after everyone's attention was on Harbaugh, Flacco's, or Ray's pitch.
The O's marketed this, and had people on the radio hyping this big secret. For me, my initial reaction is "it's a big letdown"... but what do I know? I'm just an irreverent heathen.
The difference between the Ravens and the O's is that the Ravens keep raising the bar as an organization, year after year.... while the O's keep doing things that not only make me scratch my head in confusion, but sometimes leave my jaw dropped open and shaking my head in disbelief.
Again, I say... Fuck the 0's

I want to know what moron thought this "ball on the mound" was a great idea.
A fucking waste if you ask me.

Agreed.
Earl was an Oriole and its only right that he be honored on the first Orioles opening day that he couldn't watch. The Ravens are my favorite team, hell, I'm wearing purple in Camden Yards as I type, but I understand and approve of the O's desire to honor their dead before celebrating someone else's glory.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

So fuck the O's because you want to throw a hissy fit because one of the Ravens didn't throw out the first pitch? I seen something on Orioles hangout where they had asked Flacco but he declined due to prior commitment.
Its one game of 81 there will be other opportunities for a Raven to throw out the first pitch.

Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

I'm glad they honored Earl.
Didn't even think of that one, but the man definitely deserved the honor.
Anyways ... what's the score?Twenty years of Cheers.
Thanks Baltimore Ravens Fans - You're the Best!

Re: High possibility Ray Lewis throws opening day first pitch for O's
The Ravens winning the superbowl is a big deal for the entire city and certainly for sports fans in the city.
Im sorry to hear that the Orioles dont seem to think so.
