Losers

Saturday was tough. The Ravens lost and are out of the playoffs, but this was not an ordinary loss. What rankles is that they lost to the Colts. For a certain generation of Baltimoreans, the Colts logo will inevitably invoke the name "Irsay" and the image of Mayflower vans rolling through the night. This was the scene on South Charles Street after the game. Not a lot of joy there, and purple lights were going out all over the city.
