The Orioles will be better next year — and more new lies after The MacFailure

Our cool, growing (and still free!) sports media company had another great B2B-Business To Business event last week in Towson with @CoachBillick and an old friend and reader of WNST.net approached me and asked the eternal Orioles question: “So, Nasty,...

Happy 5th Anniversary to my Free The Birds friends who want change for Baltimore baseball

I’ve been watching the Baltimore Orioles since 1973 and I’m not sure any of us could’ve predicted what this franchise was to become back in the late 1980’s when Camden Yards was built, our city was starved without football...

Five years ago we did Free The Birds rally and I’m still proud of it

There’s been plenty written about the Orioles demise and the AL East standings and the empty stands at Camden Yards speak for themselves as to what the Baltimore community feels the value of the baseball team is circa 2011. The...

USA Today says MacPhail to resign at end of season

Although this shouldn't come as a shocker to anyone who has examined the Orioles' management situation following another last place finish, the USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported tonight that Orioles general manager Andy MacPhail is expected to resign at...

I hope Ripken isn’t next Orioles hero signing up to polish Angelos’ smelly turd?

On Tuesday night, as Camden Yards sat mostly empty on another beautiful summer night, it happened again. No, not just another “tough-luck, one-run Orioles loss” en route to what could possibly be the worst season of this era replete...

Sure, Angelos is at heart of Orioles misery but 25 others are accountable, too

This inglorious 14 years of misery, lies and ineptitude for fans of the Baltimore Orioles all over the world has been hard to watch at every level. I'm exasperated with the media corruption, lack of integrity and pure filth...

Here’s the truth: Baltimore doesn’t want to be told the truth about Angelos and Orioles

I bite my tongue a lot when it comes to the Orioles. Go back and read the last two or three years’ worth of material I’ve produced when it comes to Peter Angelos and you’ll see that while the...

Hey MacPhail: Give Guerrero the money today and tell the fans whether your salary is driven by wins or profit

It's Orioles FanFest Day and that means that MLB Commissioner-in-waiting Andy MacPhail would love nothing more than to make that "splash" announcement sometime after noon today. Perhaps they'll even enter the 21st century today by texting out that they've...

As purple Festivus season is upon us, alas the real Grinch continues to be Peter G. Angelos

It’s been 51 months now since the initial “Free The Birds” campaign that we launched at WNST.net in “Year Nine of The Black Cat” and motivated more than 2,000 other brave souls who said “enough is enough” to Peter...
