As Mike Elias prepares another “we failed again but I’m keeping my job” press conference at The Warehouse to discuss the future of a sport that doesn’t feel like it’ll even hit the field next April, Nestor Aparicio pens a “Dear Mike Elias” #ColumnNes missive before the MLB playoff games begin and you lose interest in the Baltimore Orioles and their treacherous offseason of nothingness.
Longtime Meat Loaf drummer John Miceli shares tales of the myth of “Bat Out Of Hell” and the Neverland Express band as the “Celebrating Meat Loaf” group brings a special Halloween show to Rams Head in Annapolis on Saturday afternoon with the music of Jim Steinman with a Rocky Horror twist. And, finally, Nestor gets to tell the “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” Phil Rizzuto story at Merriweather Post Pavilion to the drummer who didn’t miss a beat on that fateful day in 1996.
Three decades ago when Mike Mussina was toeing the rubber at Camden Yards, his younger Mark struck up a friendship with Nestor that has lasted a lifetime. And in the week after a Baltimore Ravens’ victory over his beloved Dallas Cowboys, it was time to turn to a one-time WNST radio host when the station began 28 years ago to bring the MLB playoffs and our 28th anniversary music memory bank exploration full circle with a side order of Meat Loaf and Van Halen. And maybe some Tommy Conwell…
We are still baffled at the direction of the Baltimore Orioles and nothing was more troubling than watching Mike Elias and Craig Albernaz make excuses without accountability (or ownership representation) at a Monday press conference at The Warehouse that their own network, social media and website didn’t air live. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the future of the franchise and the tumultuous offseason ahead for MLB as the rest of baseball watches the postseason.
There is no one on earth better equipped to tell the story of the Houston Oilers becoming the Tennessee Titans than NFL historian and five-decade Houston Chronicle reporter John McClain, who always makes time to talk football and Hall of Fame worthiness with us. The General provides a full preview and review of how those LuvYaBlue uniforms wound up on Cam Ward on Sunday. Oh, and why the Texans stink so far…

It’s always fun to talk baseball in October with folks who live and love the game. Former MLB outfielder Casper Wells and our trusted sponsor with The Comfort Guys, Zach Dermer join Nestor for a state of baseball and the Orioles offseason from State Fare in Catonsville on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. We promise not to drop the ball…

Anytime we can bring our favorite baseball folks together to discuss the state of the game in the fall as the playoffs begin and the leaves change, we’re thrilled. We loved having former MLB outfielder and Towson Tigers alum Casper Wells talking seams with our longtime baseball insider Allen McCallum to debate the Orioles state of the franchise and another gloomy MLB offseason labor mess at State Fare on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.

We don’t think much about this Baltimore Orioles “program” is working as intended. After another season where most things went wrong and not enough went right, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the franchise’s long road back to the field with the Major League Baseball labor crisis about to ignite and what fans can expect with another Mike Elias “rebuild” that feels extremely unwarranted and unwanted by everyone but the ownership.

Coming off an ugly home beat, the Baltimore Ravens will hop a plane to Rio de Janeiro and a business trip against the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil. The lights will be bright, the turf will be questionable and the men of Jesse Minter will be depleted and need to respond against the biggest football brand in the world on international television from the legendary Maracana.

We don’t know a lot of folks who actually live or spend part of the year in Brazil but our defending champion of all things Canada knows a little bit about Rio. NFL insider Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report tells Nestor everything he knows about Maracana as the Cowboys await the Ravens in Brazil.
It’s the end of a long season and the Pete Alonso performance in Queens this week was as bizarre as anything Luke Jones and Nestor have seen in Major League Baseball. This season is about to fade away but before it does, we’re here to try to figure out where it goes after next weekend…

Sure, Luke Jones talked about the lousy baseball over the weekend and the four-game sweep by the Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards. But Nestor lost his mind in this one about the lack of respect this new ownership group had regarding “honoring” the surviving members of legendary 1966 Orioles World Series on their 60th anniversary. Imagine a guy named “Aparicio” living in Baltimore losing his freaking mind over the indignity of the whole shoddy performance? When is this nightmare season over?
As the baseball season winds down and the Orioles continue to flop at the bottom end of a weak AL Wild Card chase, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss all of the pending baseball issues in Birdland and question why in the world Mike Elias would be allowed to continue to run the operation.
With the Baltimore Orioles circling the drain the next two weeks and then watching the postseason once again from the outside, Luke Jones and Nestor begin to wave goodbye to any reality of a normal offseason in Birdland or anywhere MLB is played with the pending offseason labor war. The decisions about everything will fall to owners David Rubenstein and Michael Arougheti, who have proven hapless and feckless thus far in accountability regarding Mike Elias and the fans paying the freight. Baseball fans here are watching…

The big war in Major League Baseball is a percolating and longtime baseball insider and writer Dave Sheinin has seen it all before. In his new role with NOTUS in Washington, D.C., the longtime Post sportswriter gives Nestor and Ricig a primer on life after newspapers and the handbook for the battle ahead between owners and players at Koco’s Pub on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Billionaires vs. millionaires. We’ve seen this before…
With the Baltimore Ravens returning to Indianapolis to start a 31st season in the Charm City, Nestor reached to longtime St. Louis sportswriter Jeff Gordon, who was a colleague at The News American in March 1984 when the Mayflower vans came to Owings Mills. It left quite an impression on a young sportswriter from Detroit, who was in Baltimore learning the craft of local journalism under the fire of an Orioles World Series parade and an NFL team disappearing in the middle of the night. Let Gordo educate you…

It is certainly not a brand of baseball that is attractive or of high quality but “pennant race” MLB action is unfolding at Camden Yards as the Cleveland Guardians come to town with October on the brain. Our Cuyahoga insider Munch Bishop pitches in from Ohio as the sub-.500 Baltimore Orioles circle the drain and limp toward the finish line in a less-than-optimal baseball season in Birdland.

The losses are mounting and Luke Jones and Nestor discuss another Orioles loss to the Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards as Labor Day weekend heats up and the Birds don’t look up to the challenge of a pennant race.

What makes baseball great is a September pennant race series at Camden Yards between the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. This Labor Day weekend makes it a perfect time to check in with the hardest-working retired legend in New England. Sportswriter Bob Ryan of The Boston Globe and ESPN “The Sports Reporters” joins Nestor to talk about the greatest things he’s ever seen from behind a typewriter or a mobile device.

The Baltimore Orioles came one miracle leap and catch by Colton Cowser away from getting swept by the woeful Colorado Rockies in Denver. Two steps forward and three steps sideways as Luke Jones and Nestor recant every nice thing they said 48 hours ago as the Boston Red Sox come to Camden Yards for four games in a “pennant race” that feels very on brand for a sub-.500 outfit in September.

When we bring together old Baltimore Positive supporters and new ones, we wind up having the most fun on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. This time at The Fishmonger’s Daughter in Catonsville, Zach Dermer of The Comfort Guys joins Dennis Koulatsos of Koons Ford for a Baltimore sports fall primer on where the Orioles are and where the Ravens might be going as the leaves change and the birds flock together for the home team.
Was it the greatest catch we’ve ever seen? Luke Jones and Nestor are unsure of the legacy of Colton Cowser’s late-night, game-saving robbery in Denver, but the stakes have certainly risen as the Baltimore Orioles are back to .500 and ready to stalk a Wild Card berth in September at Camden Yards. Moo.
