The end of the season Orioles press conference they didn’t want you to see

/

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.

Dear Mike Elias: This is what operational failure looks like

/

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.

Getting defensive about playoff baseball and Orioles deficiencies with the glove this summer

/

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…

Casper Wells and Allen McCallum debate Orioles and MLB offseason labor mess with Nestor at State Fare on MD Crab Cake Tour

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.

The Orioles long, perilous road back to being a serious contender with lousiness of Team Mike Elias

/

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.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Ravens going to Rio and Orioles going golfing

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.

The 20th Anniversary of Free The Birds

/

On September 21, 2006, the listeners of Baltimore sports radio station WNST-AM 1570 came strong to Oriole Park at Camden Yards to voice their displeasure with Orioles owner Peter Angelos. The shockwaves were felt around the city and the sport. There was a lot of conversation and media in the aftermath. This is what it looked like before the walkout at 5:08 p.m. on 9/21/2006.

On and off the ice with former WBAL Sportsline host Jeff Rimer

He spent a decade here as one of the premier voices in Baltimore sports, and the now longtime hockey play-by-play voice of the Florida Panthers and Columbus Blue Jackets has written a memoir to share his amazing stories of Orioles baseball, hosting radio on WBAL and our local pursuit of an NFL team before the Ravens came to town. We competed extremely hard with Jeff Rimer 35 years ago, and it was a pleasure to welcome him on the show and hear his stories with The Greatest, and Pete Rose, too!

Picking up the pieces of the sorry state of Orioles

/

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?
