Think the natives at Camden Yards are getting a tad restless with the nifty 1-6 start the Orioles have going?
Well, they are. And apparently they're getting thirsty, too.
At least the ones who bother to show up. (The crowd of 9,129 for Monday night's 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays was the lowest in Camden yards' 19-year history.)
A well-orchestrated chant in the terrace box seats the other night turned the traditional bugle call over the PA system into -- you can't make this stuff up -- a plea for more equitable beverage pricing.
Instead of just yelling "CHARGE! after the bugle call, a half-dozen of these folks were yelling: CHARGE! LESS FOR BEER!"
They almost made it seem like a human rights issue. It was so moving, it almost brought tears to your eyes.
What, charging $6 or $7 for a beer at a ballgame is highway robbery? Well, sure, of course it is.
But look at the great baseball the fans get to watch.
Um, OK, never mind
