“We live in a homophobic society”
- Charles Barkley on the passing of Jason Collins
America is not “afraid of homosexuals.”
We’re just sick & tired of having LGBTQ Pride shoved down our throats in sports, our jobs, tv/movies, & education.

Mark DeRosa - "I'm going to play the hot hand."
Also Mark DeRosa, doesn't play the guy leading the team in average (.429), 2nd on team in OBP (.429), leading the team in slugging (.929), and leading the team in OPS (1.358). Seems like a pretty hot hand!
Makes sense!
Pat McAfee WENT off on liberal hockey fans, & media for considering him racist & sexist for covering Team USA’s tab at the celebration in Miami:

The Orioles win 2-0 over the Yankees.
Pete Alonso homered in his first game as an Oriole. Trevor Rogers and the pitchers tossed a three-hitter.
Baltimore is 1-0 and on pace to go 194-0 this season.
The #Pirates & #Orioles conversations about a trade sending 3B Coby Mayo to Pittsburgh have intensified over the weekend. PIT is one of the most aggressive in pursuit for Mayo. BAL still lookin for a “higher-end” pitching prospect in return. Negotiations continue…
Orioles basically replace the roughly 80+ Starts by Charlie Morton, Kyle Gibson, Tomoyuki Sugano, Brandon Young and Cade Povich with
10 More Trevor Rogers Starts
20 More Bradish Starts
50+ combined Starts by Shane Baz & Bassitt
Massive Upgrade
