Dearest Misters @tomdelonge, @markhoppus and @travisbarker of @blink182:

Thanks for the shoutout. Can’t wait to hear the new album. Friday. Please know you are welcome on the Orioles’ broadcast. Always.

Sincerely,
The Sports Announcer

Since John Angelos started running the show in Baltimore, he/the Orioles have:

1. Let go Gary Thorne and Jim Hunter to save money.
2. Fired the PA announcer on Opening Day for tweets
3. Argued with a beat reporter on MLK Day
4. Suspended a play by play guy for reading a graphic

This is Bad Ass! @Orioles are for real! Just feels like…it’s our time! #Birdland #OriolesMagic

[Trey Mancini @TreyMancini]

I love you Baltimore. And to Houston- I’m beyond excited to be an Astro!

[Baltimore Orioles @Orioles]

Birdland has Wrigley sounding like we are back at The Yard 🤩

[Eric Valenstein @ewestval]

Hey @masnOrioles I want to watch this Orioles team but don’t have cable (cause it’s 2022). I beg you to let me pay you money so I can watch. I’ll do it gladly.

[cynthia frelund @cfrelund]

Wow. The @Ravens landed my model's #2 overall prospect (S Kyle Hamilton) at 14 and #9 overall prospect (C Tyler Linderbaum) at 25.

Wild.

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

The Ravens taking Linderbaum and Hamilton is so Ravens. Both probably Hall of Famers.

“Hey Dad”
Turn Music Down
“Yes?”
Child Ask Question
I start answering question
(Interrupting) “Dad, turn the music up”

This happens at least 3 times a day, every day.

I put Jim Carrey's Riddler into the new Batman trailer.

There is a reason @erictopper and I call @R_bateman2 Sure Hands First Down Bateman.

[Nic Mason @British_Raven19]

This catch from Rashod Bateman gets a little more ridiculous every time I watch it, and i’ve watched it a lot.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate @R_bateman2 and those incredible hands? #RavensFlock

@PKMcDank

[Eric Valenstein @ewestval]

So us running 1 play for 5 yards then falling down is not caring about players, but you calling all 3 TOs to try to score a meaningless TD is? What a joke. Your pros. If you don’t like it, stop it. #RavensFlock

[Brandon Krisztal @BKDenverSports]

Vic Fangio, less than pleased with the ⁦@Ravens⁩ running the ball late to hit 100-yards rushing in 43 straight games, rather than take a knee. He also said, “player safety is secondary to them.” ⁦@KOAColorado⁩ #BroncosCountry

We left to go to the hotel since no one would even talk to us after waiting in the line for over 2 hours. @SpiritAirlines has given the absolute worst customer service I’ve ever experienced

[Eric Valenstein @ewestval]

I have never experienced worst service than @SpiritAirlines. Cancel our connecting flight, standing in a line for hours, not a single person working the desk for an hour. Absolute worst. Never again.
