Why? The O's have three championships and have had extended periods of success before Angelos forced them into Nutting-mode.

Yeah they have more rings than:

Philly
Cleveland
Mets
Astros
Royals
Jays
Marlins
Rangers
Dbacks
Angels
Nationals
Padres
Rays
Brewers
Rockies
Mariners

They are 5th in AL Pennants behind only Yankees, A's, Red Sox, Tigers

OK but a bunch of those teams are teams that have existed for way less time than Baltimore (Mets, Astros, Royals, Rays, Marlins, DBacks, Nats, Padres, Rangers, Brewers, Rockies, Mariners, Jays)

The Orioles' first ring came in 1966, which was after the creation of the Mets, Astros, , Rangers (as Senators), and Angels. Their most recent ring was 1983, which was after the creation of all but Rays/Marilins/Dback/Rockies.

I'm not sure what the point is here, that Baltimore fans should have low standards for their team? That they're somehow incapable of competing with the current middling versions of the Yankees and Red Sox ownership groups?

Angelos absolutely has the means to surround this core offensive group with marquee free agent pitchers and legitimately compete for a title for the next several years. That he's personally uninterested in doing so isn't some intrinsic property of the O's franchise itself.

The idea that winning 100 games once and getting bounced in the first round is "selling high" is laughable to me.

The idea that Baltimore is a humble burgh that can’t possibly spend is completely laughable

It wasn’t that long ago that they were a real contender for free agents. They maybe had an excuse for not spending when they were in the middle of a to-the-studs rebuild (although we can argue how necessary that really was), but now that they’re unambiguously good again, that excuse is gone

Organizations trying to follow the early-aughts Pirates plan of “hope the farm system coughs up enough good players close together that we can sneak into the playoffs on the cheap then get lucky and win a ring, which will then give us immunity to criticism during a further ten years of rebuilding” deserve to be nuked from orbit, and the Orioles currently look a lot closer to that strategy than the Astros or Braves or even D-Backs

The O’s won 100 games and still have a top three farm system at worst. I assume combination of good now, low payroll and a stocked farm is pretty compelling for a buyer.

I'm not sure what the Orioles did to piss off Selig and end up not getting the lions' share of the shared market with the Nats or if the team just totally hosed up those negotiations and thought they could beat MLB in court...
They should have plenty of money to spend.

I guess the conclusion here is that Firstname Manynumbers is a right wing troll because accounts that look like 90s AOL screennames frequently are, but a lack of dividers is a pet peeve of mine at any sort of facility. Out of every stadium I've ever been to (every NL West park except Phoenix plus Oakland, Seattle, Anaheim and Toronto) only Coors Field has this, and it's because they renovated recently.

Of course the utopian ideal of public restrooms is well-maintained gender neutral toilets with floor to ceiling dividers that feel more like rooms than stalls, but I've only ever experienced that at San Francisco International.

Also I'll be honest that the part of that tweet that stood out to me was that there's a dozen ways to elegantly craft that sort of request and that he picked the one coded in deep-seated insecurities.

But if I complain to a corporation on social media about anything I usually just respond to whatever the most recent post they made was rather than dig through their history to respond to a post specifically relevant, so indifferent shrug to the reply thread aspect.

one of the most powerful and important parts of sports for men is going to the piss trough and being shoulder to shoulder with all those other men there to support your team and just hanging out with your hog out in the splash zone, you don't find that kind of unity and commitment many places anymore

The troughs were removed some time around 2013-2015 during renovations under the current ownership, which also expanded their space and capacity significantly.

The old restrooms also had these yellowish sodium lights too, so they had a kind of dark piss dungeon vibe about them.
