Orioles Fans Walk Out In Protest: At exactly 5:08 p.m. yesterday (in honor of #5 and #8), about 1,000 Baltimore Orioles fans, many wearing black t-shirts saying "For Pete's Sake/Free The Birds," walked out of the stadium en masse in the fourth inning of a makeup game against the Detroit Tigers to protest Peter Angelos' apparent disinterest in fielding a competitive team.
The O's are about to complete their ninth consecutive losing season, all under the management of Angelos.

It is sad to watch the once proud Orioles. I was a fan in the 70's and 80's and loved to see the passion Cal Ripkin had for the game. It is amazing to see expansion clubs win World Series while the great clubs of the past flounder year to year. If management does not have passion to win, get out of the game. It hurts the game and the city.
