Orioles latest scam: the $1 ticket ain’t a buck at all

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...

Orioles continue to sink even lower than we thought possible

As the biggest critic of Orioles ownership over the last decade, I've purposely refrained from being particularly hard on the team in 2009. Unfortunately for you, the WNST fans and true Baltimore sports lovers, they have me right where...

What do Peter Angelos, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez have in common?

I was scanning CNN this morning and saw this headline: "At least 34 private radio stations in Venezuela were closed indefinitely Friday, and 206 more were at risk of being shut down, a government official said." As I have said...

Sports Illustrated calls Angelos “worst owner in MLB”

Well, at least SOMEONE agrees with me. I've written tomes, if not The Illyiad, on the ownership debacle that has purged most of the fans of the Orioles from Oriole Park at Camden Yards over the last 15 years....

Preakness on my mind…

I'm up early this morning and reading online about the Preakness and where it stands in the realm of the sports world circa 2009. I've been googling videos, watching drunken fights, potty races, some bare breasts and (oh yeah)...

Angelos and Orioles put the screws to Dodgertown and Vero Beach

Not that anything should come as a surprise when Peter Angelos and his band of "friendly" attorneys are involved, but once again -- more than a thousand miles away -- an honorable and hospitable town has tired of dealing...

Unleash the fury…Harry Kalas and other “non-radio” tidbits

First, I hope Ray Bachman has fun doing the show from 2 til 6 today. (He won’t admit it, but he really loves talking sports and doing the show. And he loves when I’m not there.) I’m having a “business/strategy”...

The Orioles try to avoid ‘the broom’ for breakfast

To say the weekend in Boston has been counterproductive would be an understatement. Yesterday at Fenway, Koji Uehara was very, very good, allowing just two runs in 7 innings in what was the best start of the year for...
