Also for the record I am an O's fan (got to see Cal Ripken go 6-6 against Atlanta during his farewell tour).

Oh I know they are a good team, for right now at least, let's not forget they were sucking like us in the beginning of the season, hence the reason I was laughing at their fans.
They weren't 50-60% full when they were doing terrible, they just started showing up now that they are doing good, much like the Nationals 'fans' have been doing. As said though, most of those people were there for Strasburg, whether or not they were Braves fans.
