The Baloo Family Baseball Apocalypse

Well, crap. My wife is a huge Rangers fan. Like, her dad watches every game and practically raised her at the ballpark kind of fan. Like the sort of fan who has a Steve Beuchelle jersey. She's kind of fanatical, as she smashed in a light fixture during Game 6 last year (which, to be honest, was very cool).
I like the Rangers. I live in Dallas. I go to about ten games a year and we watch most of their games on TV. But I grew up an O's fan and while I like the Rangers, I love the Orioles. I own a "Free the Birds" shirt. I can tell you the entire starting lineup of the 1983 World Series winner. I know the names of the umpires who screwed us (Rich Garcia in 1996, John Hirschbeck in 1997 though I blame Alomar for that one).
One game play in game? We are not talking right now. Seriously. It's chilly in the Baloo household.

I'm going to admit something...a woman with a sports team obsession is hot. I dig it.
My wife...well, she thinks the Cubs are an awesome basketball team.

Baloo, Mrs. Cocks is a tOSU fan and I of course am an LSU fan. So we had a similar situation in January of 2008. It really changes the dynamic of the house. You can't make jokes about really anything that you normally would, because it's somehow gonna be taken offensively.

The reaction was slightly different in the Stagg household.

I hope it doesn't carry over into the bedroom.

to the wifey for being a legit fan. Glad to know I'm not the only chick to break shite over a game.

My bf is a Louisville fan. We have to impose a 24 hour buffer when our teams play in football and basketball. And even then we just don't go there because it can get ugly in a hurry.
We didn't talk for a solid week after the Final Four this last year. Prayers sent.

Well now, this post explain a lot.
Theo Fleury jersey, John Kerry bobblehead, Lesbian Dance Therapy lessons and now this...

I'm a Reds fan by birth, but always had a soft spot for the O's. But since I've lived here,the O's have officially my adopted AL team. It's been so fun this year seeing the energy (normally reserved for the Ravens) around this city for the O's. And Camden has been absolutely alive. Can't wait to see them come away with the win tonight. Surely, they have one more miracle left in them...
In short, go O's!!
oh and I'm going with "Brooke" for your daughter's name (after Brooks Robinson)
