So because I was just telling my mom I have a Buck Showalter story
At MASN we would get the raw footage of pregame press conferences and in one Buck opens it saying “I just learned what the eggplant emoji means” looks at the press and asks “do you know what it means”
Still mad it never aired lol
My daughter made Hellmo in preschool, and years later it still brings me delight.
I love Hanks' physical acting in that whole movie and definitely in that later scene. So twitchy, taking every fiber of his being not to raise his voice.
So Ron!
My best friend will be 10 in a few months. And much to my delight, she now requests Weird Al when we're driving around.
High marks for scrapple.

I was there too! And the pitcher that Chris Davis victimized at the end was the amphibious Pat Venditte.

Maybe Tuesday is The Day It Finally Happens.
Again: trans people are a very small minority. If your *KNEEJERK* reaction when you encounter these rare & beautiful butterflies is *ANYTHING* other than “What can I do to make your life a little brighter?” you need to interrogate yourself. Impede the life of trans ppl & you’re in danger, from me. ❤️
Both Derrick and Dave played for the Orioles. The only other father-son combos to play for Baltimore were Bob & Terry Kennedy, the Johns O'Donoghue, Dave & Steve Johnson, and Tim Raines Sr. & Jr. (who got to play together in 2001!).
Condolences. I used to take the MARC to DC for work and I still remember another rider saying that it stood for "Maybe A Reliable Commute".
At least this has more journalistic value than the Jesse Singal op-ed you gerbils published yesterday.
I was still 5 weeks away from turning 21! Insult to injury, haha.
I am forever cursed to remember Jason Michaels. I voluntarily sat through 17 innings of a Friday night game in 2003 between a bad Orioles team and an OK Phillies team. It was 1-1 from the top 3rd - top 17th, then this dude blasted an Omar Daal pitch for a 3-run HR. I should frame my ticket stub.
The Orioles played their first competitive game of 2026 (only 29 more of these until they actually count). Trevor Rogers and a cast of dozens shut out the Yankees' road lineup. Pete Alonso crushed his first home run as an O. This calls for the Biggest of Beer Fridays.
I realize that Pete might just be pandering to the hometown fans, but if so he is crushing it. I still think he's more Polar Bear than Pander Bear, though.
Sorry, I'm trying to delete it.
Craig Albernaz setting his pitching plan for today's game:
Every time Alby says or does something delightful, I remember that we upgraded from Mansolino to him, and it feels even better. Vibes off the charts.
He's an Orioles fan, and I can tell you from experience, that shit ages you.
The good news is, he's now undead. Bad news, sometimes he's just gonna lose a limb.
Once I'm back at home, I'll have to dig out my figures. I don't know which is my favorite, the Rob Dibble I found on clearance after he burned out, or the Albert Belle that has an Otis Nixon body type.
I love a custom baseball card. #orioles
Imagine that fucker plays for your rival. My crackpot belief is that the Yankees would be a .500 team at best without him.
