At the Baltimore Orioles game on Saturday, June 3, the Boston Red Sox and their fans will commit an atrocity the likes of which have never ever been seen before in professional sports.

Hey you people who accuse RMNB of maligning all the non-Caps DC sports team, deal with this. Here’s a signal boost for our friends at Carlyn Davis Casting (Washington’s other CDC), who are looking for folks of any gender and any ethnicity to participate in a shoot about the Washington Nationals.
It’s short notice, so please hop on it quick, and represent some #NatriolesMagictude. Details below.

This week’s series between the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals is going to stir up some of that old animosity around the DMV region. That’s fine. A little friendly ribbing is proper in sports as long as, deep down, we all know who is truly better.
I am a Baltimore Orioles fan, and this is my manifesto.

Some will say that baseball has divided the region. The Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals, who are in different leagues and don’t even play each other lest they both make the fall classic, seem to be mutually exclusive fandoms.
At least, that’s the premise of NBC 4’s latest promos. These videos, completely bereft of #NatriolesMagictude, depict a DMV split into two factions, each side leery of the other. The schism affects the playground, dog walks, even the TV room.

Update: Shirts are still available. Get on it.
DMV sports fans are living high on the hog. The Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals have each won their divisions and are now poised for the postseason. The Orioles just finished their best season probably since 1997, and the Nats closed out the regular with a dramatic no-hitter for Jordan Zimmermann. It’s good times on both ball fields.
Yet there are those among us who say you must choose one team and hate the other. The fan police say no true fan can support both Washington and Baltimore at the same time. They say support for one team is betrayal of the other.
Nuts to that. Instead, you and I shall stand shoulder to shoulder, and we’ll don this nifty new RMNB t-shirt, and we shall say, NATRIOLES MAGICTUDE, ‘HON.
