Move over Natinals, The Oriloes can’t spell either

The Washington Nationals have gotten a lot of flack for their misspelling snafus lately (Natinals, anyone?) … but they aren’t the only Beltway team that can’t spell their own team’s name.

Oriloes?

For shame -- you should've spelled it Marlyand.

Maybe it was a tribute to pitcher Billy Loes. Didn't he play for Baltimore in the '50s?

I see Congressional hearings in the future. Or we will have a generation of kids who can't spell. Or know where Brazil is on a world map.

Step one towards "Idiocracy."

Baltimore education has gone to hell, ever since Wild Bill Hagy stopped his spelling lessons.

I like "Oriloes". It's mellifluous.
