The Baltimore Texas earned the moniker of Cold League Choke Artists in the Hellmouth Cup.

Much like the Big Purple Machine in Detroit, the Baltimore Texas were initially seen as a strong postseason contender with a streak of unlucky occurrences. But as the Texas continued to make postseason appearance after postseason appearance, their losses quickly mounted, and by Season 8, when the Texas had already appeared in the LCS 4 times and lost all 4 times, it was clear that something was terribly wrong - the team was choking hard in the postseason - so they were officially dubbed Choke Artists.

Overall, the Texas choked in the League Division Series seven (7) times:

San Diego Balloon Animals (Season 6 LDS), lost in 3
Long Beach Flightless Birds (Season 10 LDS), lost in 5
Seattle Sneakers (Season 11 LDS), lost in 5
Ft. Worth Piano Tuners (Season 14 LDS), lost in 5
Long Beach Flightless Birds (Season 18 LDS), lost in 5
Phoenix Freshrolls (Season 20 LDS), lost in 5
Seattle Sneakers (Season 22 LDS), lost in 4

Overall, the Texas choked in the League Championship Series six (6) times:

Elko Astronauts (Season 2 LCS), lost in 5
Long Beach Flightless Birds (Season 4 LCS), lost in 5
Elko Astronauts (Season 5 LCS), lost in 5
Seattle Sneakers (Season 8 LCS), lost in 5
Jersey OSHA Violations (Season 12 LCS), lost in 5
Ft. Worth Piano Tuners (Season 19 LCS), lost in 5
