So how did you watch the Rangers and the Oriels?, live on TV or MLB.com?, watching the updates on ESPN or your local station and wonder if what you were reading was actually correct or the figment of the imagination of the guy who updates the tracker. Or were you like me,who logged on the next morning and went, what??????????? That can't be true, crikey, it is!!!!!!!!

Much of what I read on this game has been about the Rangers but what was it like to be in the Oriel dugout?. What was it like for the manager to sit there and watch the scoreboard go mad, to be in the bullpen, praying that the phone wouldn't ring, to be waiting to bat thinking, we only need a 20 run rally to claw ourselves back into this.!!!!!!!!!!! To be an Oriels fan watching on telly, did you switch over to CSI (CSI is always on some channel) or did you suffer? . Or were you an Oriel fan at the game itself, trying to slink under your seat as the crowd went wild. And what was Cal thinking?

I was at Camden Yards only a few weeks back (v Tampa) and my heart goes out to you guys.

I've been there at other sports, I watched Arsenal ship 6 to Man Utd in 91, watched Ireland ship 40+ to England at Twickenham in rugby a few years ago, but these things go in circles, life goes on and there will come a time when it will turn around for you. Early on this year, Ireland put 40+ on England as we anhilated them,Arsenal went on to win the championship in 91. Be brave, and remember it could be worse, you don't have Barry Bonds in your team!!!!
