Nestor loses his mind on Luke Jones about the seemingly infinite awfulness of the Baltimore Orioles franchise in 2025

/

Sure, some of you will simply say that Nestor Aparicio (finally) lost his mind on the radio on Thursday morning after the Baltimore Orioles lost an 8-0 lead in Tampa in losing 12-8 in a minor league ballpark in Tampa. There’s been a lot of trauma over the years but even Jim Palmer called it the worst loss of the year for a team mired in last place in American League East and headed to The Bronx this weekend.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the incredible baseball life of “Henny” and all of the old-timer Baltimore sports media legends who kept the stories of Brooks and Frank alive over the years.

Assessing the Charlie Morton disaster

/

After a 24-2 beat down in his latest start, Luke Jones and Nestor wonder what happens next for Charlie Morton and the Baltimore Orioles’ beleaguered starting rotation with the season teetering in the wrong direction (already). Bad times in Birdland and no answers for the injured and American League’s worst rotation. Up next: the Washington Nationals.

ColumnNes: My letter to Orioles President Catie Griggs

/

This month, I’ve had many Orioles fans ask me on the streets of Baltimore why David Rubenstein, a full year into his new ownership and trying to spread a different image from Peter Angelos with a stunt like this bobblehead promotion this weekend, would continue to deny me legitimate press credentials after 40 years of covering Baltimore sports. So, I wrote this letter to new President Catie Griggs a month ago, a week before Opening Day:

Calling all of the big ones calls Collmus back home to West Baltimore for Preakness 149

/

If you love old Pimlico or know anything about Maryland horse racing, you know that legendary track announcer Larry Collmus is a Mount St. Joe boy. But, Nestor needed to know the rest of the story and further extended the legend of the great Clem Florio, who rides every race with the Triple Crown voice of the racing gods.

What I learned sitting on the roof in Houston and watching Ravens beat Texans in an empty stadium

/

How committed is Nestor Aparicio to covering the Baltimore Ravens as a lifelong journalist? He left BWI during the plague traveling to Houston along with just one other local journalist to cover a game before there was a vaccine in vacant NRG Stadium. Read his #ColumnNes report back from when “The Knee” was a thing that got NFL players blackballed and football was the only thing open for business during a worldwide pandemic.
