I haven’t owned a microwave since 2004. And don’t microwave at work, and try not to buy food from places that rely on a microwave. I read an article about Germany banning microwaves and talked about risks. It was long ago but there were claims about blood, stomach, and organ cancer. Things that seem to be increasing year over year in our country. 
 

Anyway, I use a toaster oven or the regular range. My wife enjoys it cold so to each their own. 

I wonder if the microwave itself is causing those issues or the garbage food that is being microwaved.

The WSJ doesn't say why the announcement was cancelled.

"Angelos, whose family has owned the Orioles for three decades, had reached an agreement with T. Rowe Price, an investment management firm headquartered in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, people familiar with the matter said. A press release had been drafted announcing the identity of the company that would replace the “Oriole” part of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. It was scheduled to be blasted out on Tuesday. 

But it turns out that Angelos was also working on something else. It emerged last week that he is selling a controlling stake in the Orioles to a group of investors led by local private-equity billionaire David Rubenstein. T. Rowe Price, which thought that it was about to plaster its name around Camden Yards, didn’t know anything about a possible sale until learning about it in the initial news reports. 

The future of the Orioles’ naming-rights situation remains unclear, but the episode perfectly encapsulates the confounding saga that will almost certainly end with Rubenstein taking control of the organization. Even days before the sale was finalized, many stakeholders were kept in the dark by Angelos or only partially aware of the status of negotiations, including Major League Baseball and even government officials.

Microwaves aren’t banned here in Germany. You find them in offices and such, not so frequently in homes because people just don’t think they’re good at cooking food (and they’re not wrong). It’s just a cultural thing.

Also, for reheating pizza, my two favorite options are either done in a cast iron skillet (covered, with a few drops of water in there to keep it from drying out), or if you have more pizza than fits in a skillet, a pizza stone in the oven heated on the highest temperature does a great job.

What, so they want a patch but balked at stadium naming rights? What a bunch of maroons. 

One of the original founders of the Carlyle group was a T. Rowe Price executive. Mr. Mathias actually received some money from T. Rowe Price to get the company started.

Why do you assume “at Camden Yards” Would be in the name?

 

That's what the WSJ reported
A press release had been drafted announcing the identity of the company that would replace the “Oriole” part of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, people familiar with the matter said.

Oh ok. Sorry, I missed that.  I agree that would be stupid but otoh, who really cares?  It’s still Camden Yards either way.

I prefer to reheat pizza in oven at 375, but a quick hack is to put in a covered frying pan, toss in a couple ice cubes, and let steam.

The best pizza to eat cold if you're in a hurry.......Ledo.   Breakfast of ex-champions.😆    

I'm not a fan of any frozen pizza.  Wegman's used to make decent pizza if you bought it fresh baked in the store.   Different strokes for different folks I guess

    • Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.
    • This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.
    • These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.  
    • There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.
    • I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.  
    • It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.
    • The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
