Sam has an innovative and highly practical solution to the Orioles’ defensive woes, Alan sees a continuum between the Birds and English football clubs, and our guest Charlie Wilmoth (of the Pirates blog Bucs Dugout) joins us to talk about keeping the faith.
Episode 10: Hurricane Hamilton
The Morons fret over the recent weather systems in Baltimore, and whether or not the clouds are permanent.
Episode 9: Forged in the Flames of Heartbreak (w/ Erick Hellwig)
Sam and Alan chat with real live Kansas City Royals fan Erick Hellwig, but not before Alan delivers a blistering endorsement of socialized sports ownership.
Episode 8: Paging Dr. Zorgon
Sam and Alan are joined by Met fan and fantasy baseball expert Nick Markovich for an in-depth discussion of the particular madness of purposely avoiding news of your team’s successes. There is also general consensus that while Michael Pineda’s injury should not be made fun of, it is nevertheless hilarious.
Episode 7: Scions of French Onion Fortunes
Well, that was fast. The Orioles went from undefeated Twin-slayers to broom fodder for the hated New Yorkers this week, and Sam and Alan are none too pleased.
Episode 6: 2012 Orioles Nickname Audit
Sam and Alan go through the 25-man roster with a fine-tooth comb to ensure that they have a solid nickname in place for each of the Orioles.
Episode 5: Eating Our Esskay (w/ Mark Brown from Camden Chat)
Our interview with the estimable host of Camden Chat, with whom we find that we have many mutual laments! Follow Mark on Twitter, he’s @EatMoreEsskay. We discuss, among other things, the following:
- The remaining percentage of Nolan Reimold’s foot.
- Why the Orioles pitching rotation is roughly equivalent to a pizza made out of bricks.
- A TMNT metaphor taken MUCH too far.
- Actual incisive commentary and statistical analysis from Mark.
If nothing else, today’s episode proves that there are at least three confirmed Orioles fans remaining in the universe.
Episode 4: All Aboard The D-Train
Alan and I attempt to get excited about the inexplicable signing of Dontrelle Willis, Brian Roberts receiving medical clearance to get within 100 yards of a baseball diamond, and the mysterious plasma injections upon which rest the fate of Zach Britton.
Episode 3: Duquette’s Regrets (w/ Ben Kabak)
An interview with Ben Kabak (of River Avenue Blues), who endeavors to convince Sam and Alan to stop torturing themselves. Despite his clever deployment of “facts” and “statistics,” he is unsuccessful.
Episode 2: Epaulettes & Pig Spears
This episode is lost somewhere in the swirling mists of time. Perhaps one day it shall emerge from whatever thus-far undiscoverable hiding place it has concealed itself, but the fact is that it wasn't very good and no one is too upset about the situation.
