So this media situation is exactly what I tried to warn everyone about back in February. I spent a week with my “State of Baltimore Sports Media” blogs attempting to take 27 years of my knowledge as a kid...
It was only a matter of time. This orange collision course of wills regarding the Orioles and Peter Angelos vs. Cal Ripken finally exploded late last night when Ken Rosenthal leaked a story on FoxSports.com that claimed via several...
All aboard Orioles fans, pessimists and optimists alike, for another adventure in Orange Crush baseball here at WNST.net. The chat room is open. I'm hosting today (almost like radio -- but not quite). C'mon into our chat and say...
I was planning to do a three-year examination of the impact of Free The Birds today. I was going to hash out all of the issues – past, present and future – and reiterate my goals with our dormant...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZXHzZvqNUoI was watching the Orioles game against the Rangers tonight. Why? Because I love sports and there's nothing else on. The Orioles are advertising $1 tickets. All I needed to do was go to their website. They made it...
9:57 p.m. --The Orioles got a huge rookie debut from Brian Matusz tonight. Cesar Izturis flashed leather and even hit a home run as the Birds defeated the Detroit Tigers 8-2 at Comerica Park.
Matusz on his comfort and happiness...
Well, if they weren’t going to get the sweep at least they lost in dramatic fashion. Jamie Walker gave up a prodigious grand slam to Adam Dunn in the 7th inning and the Nats beat the O’s 8-5 to...
It's been more than 18 months since I traveled halfway across the planet with Cal Ripken and his crew for the Beijing baseball mission. With the release of "A Shortstop in China," it's given me a chance to "relive"...
It shouldn't have been so close in the end, but tonight was another "Oriole Magic" kinda night as the Birds jumped out to a big lead over the Yankees behind a nice starting effort from Koji Uehara and eventually...
There are two types of Orioles fans left in the Baltimore area and they are distinct groups:
Those who drink the Kool Aid…
And those, like me, who have examined the big picture of what’s happened to this franchise over the...
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll learn. Watch "No One Listens; Everyone Hears" – The Story of Baltimore Positive, Nestor Aparicio & WNST" here. A documentary film narrated by Kyf Brewer, Gina Schock, Mickey Cucchiella, Mike Brilhart, John Allen, Ray Bachman and Bill Cole. Special and eternal thanks to Gregg Landry and Blue Rock Productions for the spiritual guidance and documentary awesomeness on this project. Nestor and his family and partners would like to thank every one of you for four decades of support of WNST, our sponsors and advertisers who allow us to do this Baltimore Positive thing.
In an industry that has been famously and dangerously slow to change, the future of the Maryland Jockey Club, Preakness, Pimlico and Laurel is about to change dramtically and forever. Nestor had a lot of questions – and historical perspective – for David Richardson and Alan Foreman, who try to answer all of the mystery surrounding the Stronach family, the local tracks and the future of the second crown of horse racing's Triple Crown at Old Hilltop in Baltimore.
Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Orioles stacking wins against the New York Yankees and beating "Nasty" Nestor Cortes with a great effort from Dean Kremer and a depleted bullpen on Tuesday night at Camden Yards.
Our old NFL draftnik and historian Dennis Koulatsos joins Nestor for an annual evaluation of the Ravens' draft class and needs heading into the spring.
