Blasphemy.  Supermarket pizza?!  (I've never had it, will try, tho... ;) )

Franks on Belair Rd, south of Northern Pkwy and DeSantis'.  Warming either up with a damp paper towel over top in the microwave or in a pan, with a bit of water and a lid are definitely the ways to go.

Re T. Rowe... TRP Park wouldn't be bad, but I'm still sort of confused as to why they wouldn't still want to go thru with it but maybe Rube's isn't interested.

I'd be okay with Oreo Park at Camden Yards.

My family started a new tradition two years ago.  The night before Thanksgiving, we get together and each bring pizza from a different place, and have a slice or two of each and compare.  It’s fun!

The article said that the naming rights were initially supposed to be announced today, but that the corporate sponsor was essentially blindsided by the sale so no announcement today. The WSJ was

My guess is they still want to go through with it.

But put yourself in their shoes.  What’s the reaction if this is announced this week?  “One final FU to the city on his way out the door”.  It forever tarnishes T Rowe’s association with Camden Yards as JA’s doing.  And David Rubinstein is prohibited from discussing it until he is approved as the next owner.

On the other hand, if they wait a couple months for Rubinstein to officially take the reigns, it can be positioned as a way to increase payroll competitiveness without the same skepticism that would come from JA delivering that message.  I’d expect the reception to be less negative with Rubinstein as the primary spokesman, if only because he won’t antagonize reporters by picking weird fights.

Yeah, I don't know about the negative feelings link to JA,  I hadn't really thought of it.  Unless the deal was leaving with JA, but I didn't get the impression with the sale that JA would be the beneficiary of the naming deal once the sale goes thru.

But I did think that if they still wanted it and Rubes is accepting then it would be a nice cash reserve to do something with for the team later on.  I guess there was also probably some prearranged deal where the naming would have been announced so maybe TRP, caught blindsided, is being prudent with just stepping back til the dust settles.  Kind of swarmy they weren't in the loop on the real intent and seeming immediacy to sell the team by JA, tho...   but that's not anything new. ;)

Legg Mason is no more, right?

Legg Mason is still around but it is a division of Franklin Templeton.  They moved from the original Legg Mason building in the Inner Harbor to the Legg Mason Tower in  Harbor East. The signage is now down on the Legg Mason Tower soon after the acquisition.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By theobird · Posted

      I’m a big supporter of Brandon Hyde, but the last game against Detroit I think he made a mistake. Second and third, nobody out….I would have had mullins bunt. He’s a good bunter, and with holiday at third I think that’s walk off.

      Ohtani

      So I guess Ohtani decided he was bored this year since he wasn’t pitching or playing the field, and decided to steal bases just to have something else to do besides hit.

      I’d say maybe they would have reached 2013 levels (2.357 mm), which would have been about another 76,000 fans.  I seriously doubt they would have reached 2014 (2.464 mm, another 183,000 fans).

      Great point. You are right Frobby. It wouldn't have been quite as bad if the Orioles dropped these series and they had to face Skubal both times but to be fortune enough not to get him either time and still lose 4 of 6 was even more disheartening.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Gurgi · Posted

      Pretty much exactly what I am thinking.  I even had to cut back on my watching the games because the frustration was killing me.  Now I save all games on DVR and peek at the score if it is safe to watch.  This is odd because when the Orioles suck and they are far below .500 I watch every single game.  Sometimes every single inning of the year.   Crazy if the Orioles had STARTED the year sucking and had to spend the last two months in an amazing race to catch up for a chance for the playoffs we would all be thrilled.   But end the season on a three month skid of misery and the same playoff spot just feels empty.
