O's offer vouchers to Saturday's ticket buyers - Monday AND Tuesday Games PPD

[weams]

No problem sir. I remember last year (I think it was), a game getting rained out at Norfolk. We decided not to drive down (3+ hours) to see the games. The Tides would not refund or offer a credit. I contacted the Orioles and they offered me a free set of tickets for our troubles. The customer service of the Orioles has grown leaps and bounds since Buck arrived. I am very thankful for that.

It's the best in the business.

Nevermind. The Orioles are getting many calls about tonight's game. The rumor of downtown shutting down and all.

They always had nice people even when they stunk.

Also heard the Orioles and MLB and the police are in discussions about tonight's game.

Per the Sun:

A large group of juveniles and police in riot gear clashed near Mondawmin Mall on Monday afternoon, while the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and numerous downtown businesses closed early out of fears of violence downtown.

Staying away from politics just wanted anyone going to the game tonight or thinking of it to be aware.

Also this from the Sun:

e University of Maryland Baltimore, citing concerns about potentially violent activity in the area, abruptly closed its downtown campus Monday.

It was one of several Baltimore businesses, including Mondawmin Mall, T. Rowe Price and Lexington Market, that closed early Monday.

In a statement, UMB cited "scheduled activities today beginning at 3 p.m."

According to widely circulated flier, a high school "purge" was to take place at 3 p.m., starting at Mondawmin and ending downtown.

What does this even mean? Are they heading for a bigger standoff?

Looks like it.

I am not sure they are going to play. Parts of 83 blocked and see a lot of people going home from downtown.

It's up at Druid park. It's the High School kids.

Yeah just turned on the news to see what is going on.

My favorite comment so far is "They closed the Baltimore zoo, which is ironic since Baltimore is the zoo now"

Fayette Street is now closed b/t President and Gay.

So let's take it a step further. If they cancel tonight's game, do you try to move the remainder of the series to Chicago?

[Crazysilver03]

Light rail has been cancelled. And 395 closed. I don't think the game happens.

Maybe they could move it to DC? Are the Gnats in town?

No. No.

[Crazysilver03]

No. No.

I don't think this will get better. Most likely worse. I don't think MLB wants to be debating everyday to have a game.
