  1. Nice! He's got to be from good stock. That's all we have this side of town... One more game against the Yankees today and then.... ..opening day at Camden Yards on Thursday afternoon...3:05 start I think. Got my 2nd Phizer shot today and I am itching to get out. Next Sunday and Thursday there are 1:05 starts against the red Sox and then the Mariners.It's tempting. I hear you can't bring food in and you have to go through a maze of moves to purchase food there. Can't they just swipe my card?
  2. O's were slaughtered 7-0 by the Stankies. Sceroler seems like the only bright spot of the game for them or the score would have been way worse. So...they played a real team and didn't match up.
  3. Yes! And how about Zimmermann! Ellicott City born and bread. Right next to the sweet air of Catonsville!
  4. 10-0 Orioles are up...still top of the 3rd inning. Ok....I've seen 3 days of the Red Sox pitchers and they suck. So....An assumption here....too early to tell how good the Orioles are. It looks like a 3 game sweep is in the making and from what I have seen, the Orioles are cashing on their opportunities. Few mental errors and the pitching is holding up. I don't know how well the Sox are as far as hitting and scoring. Are they making the O's pitchers look better than they are? I'm just getting back to watching baseball....maybe. I was an avid fan until 1999. Followed almost every game by radio or TV. So I have a lot of catching up to do.
  5. SNL brought up a good point. Why isn't QAnan jumping for joy? They got what they want. And more.....he was trafficing a 17 year old and Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet! They may be on to something...
  6. I wouldn't. You take the money. Mama didn't raise no dummy.
  7. After the first 3 innings I thought the Orioles would be lucky to get a hit or a run with how awesome Houck was pitching. He looked un-hittable. 4-2 O's win. Franco broke it open in the 4th with a 2 run single....and Harvey held the Sox to 1 run in 4 and 2/3rds innings. Plutko gets the win....the bull pen held up for the 2nd day in a row. Valdez make it nerve wracking in the 9th by allowing the first 2 batters to get on. Then....he got his shit together.
  8. And this will happen here..............
  9. "What do you say Mike?" I'm so glad that you asked and humbled to be here.... I'm a strong believer and fan of that. If the Ravens survive a schedule like that and make the playoffs...(and they will.. ) then they will be ready for the long awaited playoff run. Tickets are paid for and I can't wait to step into the Bank and my purple seat. It feels like a million years....So excited
  10. Like this! Baltimore Orioles @Orioles · 17h Likely the best Opening Day start in Orioles history. John. Means. Business. Oh they're looking real good for todays game... First pitch: 1:10 p.m. TV/Radio: MASN/105.7 FM Starting pitchers: Orioles RLHP Matt Harvey (0-3, 11.57 ERA in 2020) vs. Red Sox RHP Tanner Houck (3-0, 0.53 ERA in 2019) Could today be "Bombs Away!"
  11. Interesting....yet it's logical. Some are there for ego, fame and fortune. Some are statesman and servants of the people.
  12. Opening day 3-0 shut out of the Red Sox! The Means and Montcastle show. Means threw 7 scoreless innings. He had control all the way. At one point he set down 18 straight batters! Here's an obscure stat. Considering all the great Oriole pitchers of the past, Means is the first Orioles pitcher since 1901 to go 7 or more innings on Opening Day allowing 1 hit or fewer. Who'd-a-thunk?! Montcastle hit a 2 run double off the Green Monster. Sweet start to the season. I never expected Orioles pitching to hold up against that line up. Retirement is good. I got to watch my first opening day game in about 20 years. Not so good is the outrageous price for jerseys.... $259.99 Men's Baltimore Orioles Nike Black Alternate Authentic Team Jersey That is robbery.
  13. If no electoral college, then what? Popular vote only? I'm for term limits. What age limits? I definitely want the money out of politics. Money creates a conflict of interest....period. They are elected to serve the American people. Not their financial doners and backers. Currently it amounts to bribery no matter how it's cloaked. No parties is interesting. Candidates would actually have to state what they stand for. Elected officials would not be ham strung by having to go along party lines and voting blocks. They could vote their conscience on all issues. It would stop the games. It would stop knowingly being part of something that is inherently wrong like what the Republicans have been doing as a voting block. The Democrats are just as guilty of this. This dead lock power grab by political parties kills what is best for America....nothing gets done.
  14. I started following politics less than a year ago when I retired.....mainly because work and family left me with little time to keep up on it. like most citizens, I closed my eyes and trusted those who goven to do their jobs. In the last year I have learned that many of the elected officials in Congress do not belong there. It's scary to have so many unqualified and disinterested people supposedly representing us. I seriously doubt their ability to draft legislation or even be able to read and understand it....if they read it at all. So many are spineless chameleons. It's a shit show of shameless self promoting. Huge Ego Trips galore....and big businees owns and pulls the strings on so many. We are an Oligarcy disguised as a Democracy. Have been for well over a century. And...we just dodged the bullit on becoming an Autocracy. This goes for all parties. Change needs to start at the grass roots level. We need to stop voting for the charasmatic person to represent us. Those who says all the right things, but has no experience or track record of actually doing the work. Since I was a boy, I heard politicians say the same things over and over.... " It's time for Change! I'm for better schools and education. We must stop the crime! Our streets and neighborhoods need to be safe. Elect me and we'll get this done!" They all campaign on the need for change. Learn to say that loudly with a charasmatic smile and you have good odds on being elected. Well....nothing has changed except for the fact that it's continues to get worse. Where are the civic minded men and women of strong moral character and principle? Where are the representatives who actually see themselves, and go about their duties, as Servants for the People of the United States?
  15. He's going down....
  16. Like this: Implement a spot-and-choose overtime rule. Basically, one team would pick where the ball is spotted in overtime and then the second team would pick whether they want to play offense or defense. You can read more details on the rule by clicking here (proposed by Ravens). To keep all teams and candidates on equal ground, interviews for head coaching or coordinator jobs can't be held until after the conference title games and you can't make any hirings until after the Super Bowl (proposed by Bills). Allow the replay official and designated members of the officiating department to provide certain objective information to the on-field officials. Basically, the replay official and people in the league's officiating department would be allowed to help correct a call before it actually goes to replay (proposed by Competition Committee, Coaches Subcommittee, and the Ravens). Eliminate overtime in the preseason (proposed by competition committee). Expand the prohibition on blocking below the waist by offensive and defensive players on scrimmage downs when contact occurs beyond five yards on either side of the line of scrimmage and more than two yards outside of either offensive tackle (proposed by competition committee).
  17. He's a slimly weasel. There's a group of them. They have little interest in Congress but huge interest in promoting themselves in front of cameras and microphones on TV to cash in as much as possible. they are lobbying for TV commentator jobs.
  18. only it's a republican doing the sex trafficking's.....
  19. Solid addition. I'm good with this assessment..............now they don't have to draft a WR in the 1st round unless a really good one is there. Yea...he's got to stay healthy. I think he'll love playing with Lamar...get a second wind to his career.
  20. So glad they didn't sign Hilton. What were they thinking? 31 years old and not as productive as Marques Brown.

    Not much. He stills takes his family to Burger King to eat out. His teammates won't go for that.
  22. I agree. If they can make significant progress on this, then they become a legit SB contender. The Ravens run game is a QB's dream. Teams have to stack the box. The 'big play through the air' is there all day. This is an OC's Dream! Because of Henry, look what Tannehill can do with only one good receiver in AJ Brown. 33 TD's, 7 INT's and 106.5 QB rating. Lamar finished at a decent 26 TD's passing and 9 INT's for a respectable, but not great, 99.5 QB rating. He was sacked 29 times. His 7 rushing TD's matches Tannehill's 7. The Ravens finished 7th in scoring...not so bad. Titan's 4th. "I know...I know. Nobody wants this more than me. Now...Truss."

    $$$ Lucky Joe

    That's what we should call Joe Flacco. He's won a Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP and car. He gambled and bet on himself in free agency and cashed in huge. "They even gave me a car! "Felt Good!" For Ravens fans the first years of Joe's rookie contract were really good. And then he cashed in and became a bottom tier QB. Boring, inconsistent Joe. He didn't grow and develop off his Super Bowl season. He regressed and the Ravens paid for it. The fans did too as they had to watch an offense that hurt their eyes and brain. Eventually, finally, mercifully he was told to sit down and watch Lamar...even though there was no passing offense installed for him. "Well I'll be damned!" And then he became the NFL's highest paid cheerleader. Nevertheless!..... Financially, he can do no wrong. It seems people love giving him money;
  24. I don't see where Watkins would fit in and make a difference.
  25. Yea he will...for this year.
