The rightfield wall looked much farther away for O's Raffy Palmeiro today in BP.

Raffy was frisked by security before being allowed on the field...he was able to smuggle in one of Sammy Sosa's batting practiced bats :icon_conf

Orioles coach Rick Dempsey informing the juiceman he would not be back in the lineup tonight.

HE should get booed every time he steps up, as well as Sammy Sosa.

If Oriole fans boo them both, I will have great respect for the citizens of Baltimore.

I'm guessing they pinch hit him at some point to get a feel for just how much backlash the hometown fans will display...I am thinking they boo him bad...they should

Yes - he will be booed at Camden Yards. O's fans (and count me as a lifer) booed loud and clear when Cal would ground into a double play in every crucial situation the last four years of his career. If you can boo Cal when he was the heart of O's baseball, we ceratinly can boo a roid user.

Raffy may have had a great career but he is not a long time Oriole and will be booed. Save for a few thousand die hards, O's fans are, by and large, fair weather and fickle and ONLY care about Boog, Brooks, Jim Palmer, Cal (though Angelos burned that bridge as well), Eddie Murray, Rick Dempsey and a few others from days gone by. When Mussina left for the Yanks, O's fans were legit pissed after Mussina assured everyone for years he would stay in Baltimore forever.

Free agency in baseball makes true die hard fans hard to come by. Raffy is Canseco's bitch.
