In which Sam and Alan politely decline the papacy, wonder if the Orioles will ever be a dynasty, and consult with MLB Fan Caver Kelsey Weinrich as to how they should behave should said dynasty in fact come to pass.
Check out Kelsey’s baseball writing on Twitter and Bleacher Report!
Sam and Alan learn to speak Bawlmerese, courtesy of the fine chaps at Bird’s Eye View, another excellent Orioles podcast which is actually based in Baltimore, unlike our sham of an operation. Scientology, world hunger, fire engines, and Freddy Garcia also receive extensive coverage.
Deliciousness and Dionysian delights dance delectably in your headphones on this week’s show. We’re joined by Jay Ducote, host of the Bite and Booze radio show, contestant on Fox’s Master Chef with Gordon Ramsey, and 2013 MLB Fan Cave Finalist. Jay has prepared an AL West-themed five course meal that somehow manages to be simultaneously hilarious and insanely mouth-watering. We then endeavor to fashion our own gourmet meal based on the AL East, with far less appetizing results.
Check out Jay’s ongoing adventures, which include (but are not limited to): movie-themed pop-up dinners, hosting two radio shows, offering tasting notes for single malt whiskeys, and much, much more at biteandbooze.com.
We are joined by public radio legend Brian Lehrer, who, for reasons unknown, agreed to join us for a highly ridiculous quiz in which we force him to guess the team allegiance of various callers. Prior to that, he pretty much nails in 30 seconds that which has eluded us for 47 episodes and counting, ie: The Reason Baseball Is So Alluring.
We also offer some customarily incisive thoughts on the current state of the Orioles starting pitching corps, the legacy of The Red Baron, and Matt Wieters’s ongoing offensive struggles.
IN SHORT: IT’S A REAL DOOZY.
Sam and Alan not only uncover the secret identities of both Gary Thorne and Conor Jackson, but also chat with David Temple, creator and host of the excellent Stealing Home podcast. It’s a very productive episode.
Check out David’s fascinating and exquisitely-produced program here, follow him on Twitter here, and don’t forget that you can find Baltimorons in iTunes as well!
Thanks for tuning in!
We were thrilled to be joined by Michael Clair, the creator of Old Time Family Baseball, for an in-depth discussion of Steve Pearce’s enduring allure, Adrien Brody’s career choices, and how sabermetrics manage to be awesome while also being impossible to understand.
Elsewhere in the episode, Jim Palmer is taken to task, we try to guess what Buck Showalter’s actual first name is, and answer your excellent emails and phone calls. Engooden your times by clicking above, or better yet, why not subscribe in iTunes so you never miss an episode?
It’s a two-show week here at Baltimorons, and today’s episode finds your Morons in high spirits following the Orioles 7-4 victory over the Rays on opening day. Accordingly, tune in to hear us share our thoughts on various encouraging signs from Game 1, as well as the long-overdue unveiling of Scotty the Intern’s theme song.
It’s the first in what may well become a bona fide Occasional Series of Special Editions! In this episode, your humble hosts, having successfully turned around the Orioles’ franchise pretty much by themselves, offer their insight and wisdom to a pair of troubled Mets fans.
As has become our yearly tradition, your ‘Morons make their way through the 2013 roster and assign nicknames to each player. As has also become customary, the suggestions made by listeners are infinitely better than our own.
A thoroughly groovy time this week as Sam and Alan are joined by Dodger fan and fellow podcaster Jeremy Dorn, co-host of the “3 Up 3 Down” podcast. They also:
