Itstrainingtime Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I was fortunate as a kid to see #5 play at the very end of his career. He epitomized everything good about baseball, and as a human being, he made our fanbase so very proud of him. For as long ago as retired as a player and then later as an announcing partner of the late, great Chuck Thompson...this news greatly saddens me. Brooks was all class, all the way. Baltimore lost a great adopted son today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around this time of the year the top of the mountain gets blasted with it's first major snowfall while everyone else sees rain. It's pretty easy to climb to the top. This is when I would set a tent at the top of the mountain and do mushrooms or something lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Os now with their best record since 1980. Magic number is 1. 2 years removed from a 110 loss season, they will win 100+. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a 20 minute segment the other day on the Os. Gave Elias and Hyde alot of praise. Talked about how they have nailed there drafts since Elias has been here and the few before. Said they had several generational players on the team or soon to be on the team. ( Holiday) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Orioles are actually pretty lucky to have #1 in the AL.. there are 3 teams with 100+ loses, 1 about to do 110+ loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 As Chuck Thompson -- a bit before my time but I've seen videos of his PBP and he was awesome at it -- used to say, "ain't the beer cold!" From 110 losses to 100 (and counting) wins and the best record in the AL. Pretty good progression. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing the O's have had through the decades: great announcers.

The announcing was always great, even though the teams often sucked. The team doesn't suck anymore. Watching the celebration and most of these guys aren't much older than my daughter.

Expand He used that line for emphatic moments in games, like a walk off home run. Apparently a pro golfer used that as an alternative to swearing after missing a big putt and Chuck picked up on it. You are 100% correct on our announcers through the years. We've been blessed as fans to have had some truly great ones. Chuck's in the hall of fame and Jon Miller is certainly on his way as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
