The continuing tributes to Mo Gaba are a reminder of everything that sports can be to a person, a community, a fan base, an organization, and a city. Mo being in the O's HOF is a fitting honor, but I can think of something else 1/

🔊Jim Palmer to Kevin Brown:

Then the giggling that followed 😅

I appreciate Rutschman waiting so he could talk to Henderson after the inning. He is 100% the leader of this team & if there is beef he's gonna quash it.
Fuck that fake controversy. Mussina chose to not have an emblem on his cap. The

retired numbers are players with the

Blow it all out of your ass, ESPN team.
"When Robinson retired after the 1977 season, Gordon Beard, a sportswriter, spoke at a gala honoring him. Beard said, 'In New York, they named a candy bar after Reggie Jackson. Here in Baltimore, we name our children after Brooks Robinson.'''
Very classy move from

Orioles bag, a signed note, and a gift card for Camden Yards for everyone sitting in the Bird Bath tonight.
Since we like to call Anthony Santander "Tony Taters", I am going to start calling his singles "tater tots" & any non-HR extra base hit "loaded tots".
It just feels right.
The thing about Brooks passing that hits me the hardest? He won't be here for our 1st home playoff game since 2014. I know for a fact he watched EVERY Orioles game, & I've had the thought of him in the owner's box, his face up on the Jumbotron, & hearing a packed OPACY *ROAR*.
The Astros' 1st trip to the postseason after their rebuild? Lost in the ALDS then won the WS 2 years later & made it to at least the ALCS 6 straight years (could go to 7 in 2023).
We're built like HOU was. I know it's tough, but keep that in mind.
#SoakItIn
Migraines are fucking unbearable. The fact that Pam Oliver can work through them at all means she is 1000 times tougher than any asswipe on here talking shit about her.
Pam Oliver suffers from chronic migraines which at times in the past, have caused slurred words.
She’s a true professional that seems to be finding a way to gut it out today.

It's almost like none of y'all read Astroball or paid attention to Houston over the last decade. The Burnes trade is our version of the Verlander trade. Watch us extend him before the trade deadline.
I'll see y'all on Pratt St. for the goddamn parade.

To all the pundits & "Orioles fans" who clamored to trade Jackson Holliday for Skubal or Crochet:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUU
Sincerely,

Whatever happens the rest of 2023, when you woke up on July 20th, the

were in 1st place in the ENTIRE American League.
We're ahead of schedule & all signs point to an extended run as a legit World Series-contending team for years to come.
Enjoy this,

So the Blue Jays broke Jordan Westburg's wrist & he's out for the foreseeable fucking future.
You know what I don't see? A bunch of O's fans saying "DIRTY PLAY", because we fucking understand pitching inside is what happens in baseball.
Other fans could learn a few things...
Okay. Enough of this shit. Whoever is the actual leader in the clubhouse (should be Rutschman, but Santander can also do it) needs to call a players-only team meeting and they need to do it IMMEDIATELY. This shit has to STOP.
#Birdland
I don't know why Don Knotts is trending, and honestly, I don't care. All I know is that sumbitch helped me rebuild my sidewalk and for that, I will be forever thankful.
I've done my best to give John Angelos the benefit of the doubt. I don't judge a man by the sins of his father. But w/the lease bullshit & this fucking mockery of punishing Kevin Brown I'm fucking done.
Put up or shut up, Johnny.
#Birdland
is fucking tired of this shit.
We have the best fucking record in the entire American League & we're trending because the owner of the team is a petulant, whiny cunt.
Actually, cunt is too good of a word for John Angelos. Cunts serve a fucking purpose. Johnny A just sucks up oxygen & shits on
#Birdland
fans.
Every time I see someone saying Hyde is a bad manager I think of shit like this. This team had EVERY reason to pack it in: down in the 9th, road trip to NY & BOS looming, hot as fuck weather, storm coming, multiple long as fuck games. But there's ZERO quit.

This right here is the kind of silly shit that needs to happen at ballparks more often. And not just in minor league parks.

If you respond to this with politics, you're going into the airlock. Maryland lost the lives of hardworking people trying to make our lives better. Grief doesn't have a political party.

Biden: Our hearts are still breaking. six lost their lives, most were immigrants but all were Marylanders. Hard-working, strong, and selfless… For all the families and loved ones who are grieving, I’ve come here to grieve with you.
Oh look. Another suburban snowflake scared of brown people wants to move the team to the white flight suburbs.
Fuck ENTIRELY OFF with this NIMBY bullshit. If you're so goddamn scared of the city watch the games on TV & order gear online. Ass.
Come on,
#Birdland
- admit it: when was the last time before tonight that you were actively disappointed that there was no
#Orioles
game that day?
Remember this feeling because we have no idea where the season will go.
But also because it'll be back soon & a lot more common.
So last night I pissed off a LOT of people when I said the "afraid to go to Camden Yards/Baltimore" is racially based. Well, for those of you who think I'm wrong but are willing to read facts I have some links for you: x/1
1) I ain't your buddy, ya fucking twat.
2) I don't want to hear your fucking excuses. The Yankees have hit the most opposing hitters this year. The O's are in the bottom 10.
3) Kjerstad is a good goddamn player. Your pitching staff is full of cunts.
I need someone to ask Hyde why he pitched Kimbrel in a tied game when he threw 40 goddamn pitches yesterday & Cano only threw 6.
Make him fucking justify that shitty goddamn decision.
If this is Corbin Burnes' last start as an Oriole, you can't say he didn't give us EVERYTHING he fucking had. HELL of an outing from him. Bats have failed him all goddamn day.
I don't know how Trey beats Alonso but making it to the finals of the

a year removed from cancer makes him the winner no matter what happens tonight.

#Birdland
I fucking miss Esskay Orioles hot dogs. They probably weren't that good, but damn if I didn't beg my mother for them every time she made the shopping list and headed to the local Giant.
If you ask me, the people who are so up in arms over the John Waters thing are exactly the fucking people who need some John Waters in their lives.
Also: if any of these motherfuckers want to come for one of the favored sons of Baltimore they gotta come through me.
At this point of the season, we need to play Holliday, Cowser, Kjerstad, & Mayo every day. Fuck the matchups. Time to learn on the job so we can make a more precise offseason training regimen for them.
#Birdland
There HAS to be something else. It can't be because Kevin Brown read a planned graphic. It just can't be. Even by the standards of a silver spoon, born on 3rd base, never had to work a day in his life John Angelos there HAS to be something else

Goddamn. RIP Ryan Minor. Forever known as the man who replaced Cal Ripken Jr. when he ended the streak.
When Ray Miller went to Minor's locker to tell him he was playing in place of Cal Ryan stared at him & said (after a long pause)
...Does he know?
Hey Brian Dozier:
1) It wasn't a no-hitter
2) Your team chose to shift up 7-0
3) If Sisco wears one next time we see you there will be blood
4) Blow it out your ass
Hey

- skip the clickbait bullshit article. I'll summarize it for you:
"I'm a huge Red Sox fan & the owner of my favorite team sucks donkey balls, unlike
@DM_Rubenstein
who is fucking awesome.
"Also, I eat farts."
Craig Kimbrel, 91mph Paint. 🖌️🎨
"I'm not sure what Reese McGuire said, but whatever it was, it got him tossed quickly."
"Oh, we know what he said now..." 🔊 🤣
As I've said, the City Connect jerseys have grown on me. But if they changed "Baltimore" to "Charm City" they'd be 1000% better, even if they didn't change ANYTHING ELSE.
Peter Angelos really wanted to win a World Series, but he tried to run a baseball team like a law firm and that was a recipe for disaster.
I, like all of Birdland, have my issues with the Angelos family, but I'm gonna put a moratorium on pissing on them for 24 hours.
Big respect to
@CalRipkenJr
&
@RipkenBaseball
for signing off on Jackson Holliday wearing the 7 for the
#Orioles
. It would've been easy (and understandable) for them to say no, but Holliday plays the game hard & he plays it the right way. He'll honor the legacy of Cal Sr.
I just said a little while ago that Brooks is my all-time favorite ballplayer. Nothing anyone can say will convince me he wasn't the greatest 3B of all time. The only things bigger than his talent were his love for Baltimore & his heart.
#RIPBrooks
The Johnny Damon Story:
June of 1999. I was living in Fells Point & working weekends at the Admiral's Cup & at BWI. I'd hit the Cup pretty much every night after work & this was no different. Around 11-11:30 in walks Johnny Damon, Sidney Ponson, & Scott Erickson 1/x
The fact that we were down to our last strike on 4 straight batters and pulled this win OUT OF OUR ASSES is fucking impressive as shit. The hitting coach deserves serious credit for helping this team as a whole to focus on the moment & not get distracted by other shit.

A friend just informed me they did this at Fenway tonight. These are the three firefighters we lost in a rowhouse fire in January. Excuse me for getting a little misty eyed. Class act.
@NFLonFOX
Out of left field choice: Bert Jones.
Jones stays healthy & the team doesn't shit the bed. The fans keep coming. Irsay can't justify move. No drafting Elway. Colts stay in Baltimore=Browns don't move here. Maybe they don't move at all.
Entire league is changed.
Exactly ZERO

games? I am shocked.
SHOCKED, I tell you.
Win 101 games and can't get a nationally televised on cable game. What in the hell do we have to do to get even a modicum of respect?
Day off
#Birdland
thoughts:
1) Jordan Westburg is the straw that stirs the drink for this team. He is officially my priority extension candidate.
2) To those who want Hyde gone: Who are you bringing in? I'm not against replacing him, but with who, & why?
Mountcastle & Mullins are two cornerstones of the foundation of the rebuild. If Hays can stay healthy he is another one.
The pieces are slowly falling into place. Be patient,
#Birdland
