No Fans in Baltimore

A very odd afternoon game in Camden Yards with no fans.  Was it the right thing to do?  Depends on your point of view.  In this liability-conscious world the O's management felt that they could not protect their fans coming or going to the game.  For the fans it was a surrender to the idiot Baltimore rioters & looters who gave & continue to give the city a black eye.  This weekend's series against the Rays will be played in Tampa Bay instead of Baltimore.  Not only are vendors, parking lots, hotels, restaurants & bars losing income, just think of 4 home dates lost for the Orioles with no park revenue.  It's a shame that outside agitators & a few idiots take a serious social issue & escalate a problem with violent protests.
