Last night, while listening to the radio broadcast, play by play announcer, Fred Manfra, made reference to the Orioles fans booing Mark Teixeira every time he made a plate appearance.
I know, I know. The guy betrayed Baltimore. He said he wanted to play closer to his home, and was allegedly offered a fairly lucrative deal to play for the Birds. He ended up taking the money ($30 million more) and the winning tradition in New York and betrayed his childhood team. We know it was a business decision, but then he had the nerve to talk about his love for the Yankees as a kid.
But really? That was over 3 years ago. Aren’t we bigger than this? Can’t we enjoy the Birds success without the hate? Can we just choose to move on?
NO FREAKING WAY! If he can live off the riches of his business decisions, he can face the consequences of being hated by another subset of fans. Keep it up O’s fans!
We can’t boo the O’s this year , so why not Mark???????????
The fact that he said “It’s nice to come home [to Baltimore]” the other day just ignited my fire. He should hear boos every time he steps to the plate in Baltimore for the rest of his career.
He made his bed in NYC so it is what it is to Bmore fans. He’s a defected plain and simple
We should keep booing him for invoking the names of Cal Ripken, Jr. and Eddie Murray during his inaugural press conference for the Yankees.
“Sure, I loved Cal. I loved Eddie. But my favorite player was Don Mattingly.”
What a tool. What a liar.
As long as he is a Yankmee, we should boo. F him and his $160 million. He chose to go to NY and we choose to boo him. As the Intimidator would say…Assclown!
I boo every Yankee. Tex is no different.
Well, I don’t boo for Mariano Rivera. He was soooo nice to Jen Royle and her dad when he had cancer. His kindness made me cry.
absolutly not!. As pointed out before “he made his bed”, now sleep in it. All he had to do from the beginning was say he wasn’t interested coming here but played us just to up the ante from others. Don’t begrudge him for the money, just the process he helped create.
The horse face politician, Tex, is hitting .196 from the 7th inning on or what is known as crunch time. He’s a good player when surrounded by a great cast. He’d have never lead this team out of the abyss the way fans would have expected simply because he’s not that kind of player. He would never have put this team on his back and lead them to the post season and deep down inside, he knew it.
He’d be a perfect politician as he flip flops so much when he talks trying to please everyone. He was at a ceremony for Eddie Murray two years ago and talked about how he “admired Eddie and Cal”, what a bunch of horse shit. People see right through him and his fat face deserves to be booed.
Why you calling Tex, horse face? He can’t help that he has a horse and is a horse’s ass. F’ing traitor. He got his WS and his $160 million, he can kiss my ass.
BOO!
TO BOO OR NOT TO BOO, IS THAT REALY THE QUESTION? THERE WILL ALWAYS BE HATEFULL FANS. HE WENT TO THE YANKEES, WHY NOT,
IT WAS-IS- A WINNING TEAM. WHO WOULDNT WANT TO PLAY FOR A
WINNER PLUS THE MONEY$$ AS LONG AS O’S FANS KEEP BOOING HIM
HE WILL KNOW THAT HE IS RECONIGIZED FOR HIS DECESION..
PEOPLE, GET OVER IT…
ROY
Get back on Trigger, Roy. You and horse face are probably related.
Tex, Severna Park hates you.
