“Poehler raised her eyebrows to the people at home with a look that reminded me of the ones I’ve shared with countless women, a silent signal acknowledging that the man we’re supposed to be listening to isn’t saying anything worth hearing.”

...I’m sorry, what exactly is that $6 million spent on the studio actually spent on? Did they build a brand new building or something? They don’t need a giant ass, super spacious studio like it was a network talk show or something. They need a main desk area and then a side area for features or whatever, with some TVs…

It’s entirely because of Peter Angelos. Despite the fact that he hasn’t been an active part of the team in about a decade. 

Actually, the Ravens usually get Ian Eagle, not Jim Nantz. 

It’s the southwest part of Baltimore City. 

Pretty much. It’s probably the most purely “Baltimore” part of town. 

Shhh. Don’t tell the GMG guys that they have white men employed. 

Suburb of Baltimore City. 

Southwest section of Baltimore City. 

I’m actually excited to see Lamar progress and I hope that he succeeds this season.

It’s especially stupid because it was done in the Right Field Club. The Orioles have had a bunch of discounted ticket promotions the last few months, but all those seats are along Right and Center Field in the Upper Deck, meaning they wouldn’t see the sign unless it was on the Jumbotron. 

Eh, I can understand the notion to introduce such an option. Even when you’re on the winning end, beatdown games like that grow dull by the late game and both sides just want to end it and move on, except for players who want to pad their stats a little.

Ravens fan here. It’s not a theory. Like, we hate them in the sense that they’re a division rival and get upset when they actually beat the Ravens, but there’s no actual hate. Definitely nowhere near the Steelers, Pats, or Colts. Hell, it’s not even as big as the hate for the Bengals. The second paragraph pretty much…

Oh, and the collapse came in 1998. They actually went wire-to-wire in 1997.

Two things:

I wouldn’t put it past them considering that would likely get a LOT more money than even microtransactions would. 

He’s been injured most of the season. He’s still on the team because otherwise the team would have no natural outfielders on the roster. 

Who’s going to replace Hyde? The Orioles only have a handful of players that could be used to rebuild, and none of them, except MAYBE Mancini, are cornerstones. 

They’re not going on an epic run, but before getting bopped by the Yankees, the Orioles were playing .500 ball the past few weeks. 

Late to this, but that night, WBAL sports broadcaster Gerry Sandusky (who’s also the radio play-by-play for the Ravens) absolutely fucking went OFF on Chris Davis and called for his dismissal before he even got to the highlights.
