I'd been worried about a team sale & move, but if this is accurate and it's going to Rubenstein & Ripken, Jr - I think it's safe to say they'll stay in Charm City. ⚾ 🦀 ⚾
@funnelfiasco I was at the game last year where the Jays were up by 8 and lost. I watched them score 1 run in two games this year. Now the front office is tossing the manager under the bus because they forced a cute strategy on the manager. I have no sympathy for your favourite team losing. Try again next year and enjoy a great season they had this year.
August 13, 1969 (54 years ago today, #OTD): #Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer threw a no-hitter against the Oakland Athletics at Memorial Stadium in #Baltimore, in front of a recorded attendance of 16,826. At that point, the Orioles were in 1st in the American League East, with a 14.5 game lead over the 2nd-place Detroit Tigers. Palmer threw 142 pitches: 123 fastballs, 18 curveballs, 1 changeup.

@funnelfiasco I read the report of what happened and cannot believe how thin-skinned ownership is. For years Jays’ broadcasters talked about how poorly they had played in Tampa.
Our first F Troop pants sighting is for the #Orioles. They’re more subtle than the others because the stripe down the side of the black pants is also black, but it’s there. (I like the color on the sleeves, though.)
