Agree with you 100% on the favorite person.

I am a long-time Orioles fan, which is about the most depressing thing you can be.  I used to listen to O's games on the radio every night back in the 80s when we lived in Bowie.  Now, whenever I hear Jon Miller on ESPN, I still think I'm listening to the O's.

I'm young enough and I STILL think of the Orioles when I hear Miller...He's got one of the best voices for announcing in all of sports.

That SOB Peter Angelos basically fired him.  I think it is safe to say that Angelos is not my favorite person.

I still stick by the Orioles -- even though they suck. Palmeiro is my all-time favorite player (got to meet him in person years ago at a "Baysox vs Orioles" game. I was jaw-dropped and he jokingly replied "I'm his cousin."

I still can't believe Bowie has a AA team.  They stared play several years after we moved to Wisconsin.

The sad thing about the O's is that they have no excuse for their suckage.  At least the Brewers can claim the whole small market / small payroll sob story.  The O's spend a fortune for their 70 wins year after year.  Still, I stand by them... and my Cubbies in the NL.

Religion:Southern baptist

Is that sarcasm?

Does being a Southern Baptist preclude being a Liberal Democrat?

I actually know of an extremely liberal Baptist church in Madison (Nekoma neighborhood, where my parents used to live).

So here I am.  I first posted here in 2003.  When some of y'all were in diapers, and I was a newlywed 26-year-old.  Since most of my cells have been changed out, I am, like, LITERALLY a different person.  Anyhoo...
