Nestor Aparicio tells Dennis Koulatsos about that night in Havana with Woody Harrelson and Andy Summers. And about sitting at the kids’ media table in Arlington, Texas for the ALDS Game 3 exit of the Baltimore Orioles.

We all wanted to see a better postseason showing from the Baltimore Orioles than a three-game sweep. Luke Jones joins Dennis Koulatsos to discuss the differences in October baseball and how the franchise will rebound from such a sudden and thorough exit from the World Series race.

Seth Elkin of Maryland Lottery tells Nestor about the aftermath of Poweball billion dollar jackpot fever and winning locally with some fun scratch-offs and seasonal play.

It was a beautiful regular season and a terrible thud of an ouster for the 2023 Baltimore Orioles. In the aftermath of Arlington and a sweep at the hands of the Texas Rangers, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the offseason of Mike Elias and the money of the Angelos family to support the next steps.

It all ended so suddenly after so much fun for Orioles fans. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what made the Birds not good enough in October in Arlington this week and how future Octobers must be different – especially the pitching but not discounting the hitting. The disappointment will linger but will it burn enough for a postseason return next Fall?

Earlier this month, Nestor Aparicio snuck off to his longtime sponsor and partners at the newly upgraded Planet Fitness in Reisterstown with lead trainer Quintin Dailey. Let him recap his Black Card spa tour day with new machines, devices and techniques that serve to settle the soul before or after exercising at PF.

Luke Jones and Nestor lament the sudden end of a glorious Orioles season in Arlington and what could’ve made things go differently for Brandon Hyde and a team that won 101 games in the regular season.

It’s been a rough week in Baltimore. We remain thankful that The Piano Man and the great Stevie Nicks came and sang to us. Even if the traffic was a nightmare.

It’s the greatest cocktail party story that Nestor Aparicio has in a lifetime journey that has exceeded all expectations. Back in March 1999 while in Havana, Cuba covering the Orioles historic baseball visit and Fidel Castro, he ran into Woody Harrelson and Andy Summers in La Bodeguita del Medio and convinced the legendary Hall of Fame guitarist from The Police to join a local band. Summers insisted that Nestor play the role of Sting in the band. Let the trio who were there tell you about it…

Legendary guitarist Andy Summers of The Police reunites with Nestor nearly a quarter of a century after their 1999 duet in Cuba, which you can hear at Baltimore Positive as well. His current tour brings him through York, Pennsylvania on Thursday, October 12th with a full multimedia show: “A Cracked Lens + A Missing String.”

While our city’s sports teams failed to bask in the afterglow of the amazing power to bring local folks together, our Chief Digital Officer Mike Rosenfeld of Web Connection lends the perspective to having been to Camden Yards, Pittsburgh and Jerusalem. The Orioles losses and the Ravens giveaway in Pittsburgh took a backseat to unthinkable violence and war halfway around the world.

When his usual comedic rants were softened by the Orioles fandom in his heart on the internet, we needed to reach to our favorite comedian Lewis Black to investigate his baseball soul from the D.C. suburbs to a life making jokes about Peter Angelos and Daniel Snyder. The man has suffered with Baltimore baseball and Washington football. Let him come clean on why Camden Yards in October is what heaven will feel like…

Dean Kremer surrendered six runs and the bats were again quiet as Baltimore was swept for the first time all season.

“These guys played their butts off for six months. We just didn’t play well for these last three unfortunately.”

Longtime Orioles public relations executive Rick Vaughn tells Nestor every Brooks Robinson story that will make you cry and remembers all of the building blocks of Orioles Magic. He’s also quite excited about the 2023 Orioles after spending two decades in Tampa Bay trying to build a winner there with Joe Maddon.

The bigger and louder the crowd, the worse this mostly young Orioles team seems to perform. That has to change in Texas.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the lost opportunity and the mounting “communication” problems in a disturbing loss to their arch rival in Pittsburgh and headed for the silence of London.

After going 8-5-1 last week, Nestor Aparicio is now up to 43-32-3 on the season and is feeling bullish about the Week 6 big purple party at Hollywood Casino in Perryville.

We’ll be there with fun, prizes and giveaways starting at 8 a.m. Come watch the game from Tottenham with us!

Despite striking out 16 Rangers hitters, Baltimore had only five hits and went 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position.

As busy as ever opening a new Baseball Warehouse in Columbia, the Orioles 1983 World Series MVP joined Nestor for a chat about the love of Baltimore baseball, the fun of fantasy camp in Florida and another championship parade for our long-suffering Birdwatchers.

The Baltimore manager spoke with media on the eve of the AL Division Series at Camden Yards.

We used to call it “Pittsburgh Week” but in Baltimore right now it’s a chance for Orioles fans to finally get to Camden Yards for playoff baseball.

In an easy victory over the Cleveland Browns, Lamar Jackson was a very efficient 15-of-19 throwing the football but Luke Jones and Nestor wonder if Todd Monken feels like he really needs to do more in the passing game. So far, so good.

Whether it’s Orioles playoffs, Pittsburgh week or a parking lot before Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks, it’s a week to remember in Baltimore. Leonard Raskin and Nestor discuss tickets, times, games and The Piano Man and Orioles playoff baseball downtown this week.

Speaking on Wednesday, the Baltimore manager wasn’t yet ready to name his starter for Game 1.

In our continuing education series with Wendy Bronfein of Curio Wellness, we discuss the laboratory and science of cannabis education beyond flower and new ways to take advantage of the benefits of the plant.

The Baltimore defense overwhelmed rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson while Lamar Jackson accounted for four touchdowns.

His brilliant art appears all over Baltimore because sports cartoonist Mike Ricigliano has been drawing ’em up since Bob Irsay took the Colts to Indianapolis.
