Leading Off Too late to be known as John the First, he’s sure to be known as John the Worst. A pox upon the phony king of Birdland!

Your only chance to buy playoff tickets will be a early access presale in mid September. SMH— kenny z (@kenzurawski20) August 24, 2023 Around the Bases First Base: The Phony King of Birdland John Angelos is the worst, and just needs to shut up. There is literally no one – in Birdland or in the greater baseball community – who doesn’t think that his “cry poor” act is anything short of pathetic. Second Base: About last night… As fans, we can sometimes focus too much on the losses, or on the disappointments. For no good reason, Jake wants to talk about the win on Wednesday night against the Blue Jays. You like starting pitching? Check. What about dominant performances out of the bullpen? Check. Are you a fan of dongs? Check. Manufactured runs? Check. A great game in a fantastic season. Soak it in, this is fun. Third Base: September rosters Who comes up with the rosters expand? The Orioles have some choices, and we have some truly terrible opinions on the matter. Home Plate: Truth or Truth? We’re back to ripping off our favorite late-night segment. Scott surprises with a little ToT. Fantasy Boss
