Look. I'm not the most knowledgeable about baseball. I love it but I'm dumb as shit. I try not to judge others who are also dumb as shit, but there's a trade proposal on the O's Reddit that is so bad I literally yelled at my phone.

I think wake up dead man is my favorite. The least funny of the 3 but the most heart. Fun locked room mystery. Glenn Close and Josh O'Connor put up great performances. Lots of homage to classic serials and noirs. Would have liked more Kerry Washington but it was bordering on too long already.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I replied but also I'm gonna quote. Spaghetti. Sorry to all those who think they love it, but I promise in almost every situation if you replace it with a different long noodle your dish will be improved. Most of the time fettuccine is the actual correct choice.
a second day of the same discourse? no. no thank you.
instead I need you to name your least favorite pasta shape

Well I'm sorry for bringing this on us after I had the audacity to post mid game, but also that's ball 4 this game should be tied.

I try not to live tweet the games cause they lose when I do but God damn does this team feel fun to watch again. Logically I know we're out of the post season race but if they keep this pace I'm going to spend the entire back half of the season thrilled and hopeful.

So we have Sanchez and a prayer for our catchers now. Unless they decide to pull up Basallo after insisting they wouldn't
Tony Mansolino said catcher Chadwick Tromp is likely headed to the injured list tomorrow with a back strain

I honestly never know the exact formula for who records a W but I can usually understand why when looking at a game. How the fuck does Akin get credited with the win here though???

Lately the O's only win on games I don't watch, and it's been hard not to check them out live (I caved Wednesday after the second and tuned in 🙃). I think this game will be easy for me not to watch 😬
#Orioles lineup for opener vs. Yankees.
No Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holliday or Cedric Mullins against LHP Max Fried.

Jesus we just can not play in these little league parks. That being said MLB should really have a hard conversation with Tampa and A's ownership. Tampa gets a little leniency but As is an actual embarrassment.

Midnight Organ Fight and Pedestrian Verse. Its rare for any band to make a 10/10, much less two of them. Scott was such an incredible treasure.

Holy shit that was a risky pitch into Raleigh but I'll take it. Plus now we don't have to face him in the 9th.

Silent J shutting up a lot of haters lately. He has looked shaky for a long time (and still has a lot he can work on) but I'm happy to see him showing up when we need it recently.

Seattle has the second highest umpire favorability of all teams in 2025. Baltimore has the second lowest. The umps tonight are *reeeeeally* trying to make both of them #1.

A bust of a season but it does feel like we're better base runners this year. Mateo, Mullins, Holliday, and Gunnar all feel like they get a free second base any time they get to first.

I really don't understand why so many Os fans seem to *want* Mayo to fail. Like, I get being frustrated that a prospect with high expectations seems like a bust. But it feels like so many people want him to suck just because Elias drafted him. Can we not root for failure for our players?
