Great first weekend of August for the B/W corridor in terms of baseball. The O's swept the Mets in a 3 game series that gives the O's 70 wins on the season and they now lead Tampa by 3 games and 3rd place Toronto by 7.5 games. Last season, it took the O's until Sept. 2 to reach 70 wins. In the...

Happy Birthday, Tom. From one Old Line State native to another. -- Al

That's great stuff. What memories to have and share. Boy, I sure miss the NFL of the 1960's with it's unique personalities, and much more basic game and rules. Old #10 sure left his mark. -- Al

Haven't thought about Tarkenton in ages. He was the big outlier among Qbs back in the 60's because he was a scrambler and not the traditional dropback that everyone else was. He drove defenses crazy because no one was ready for his style of play. He ran wild for several years before the league...

Good show, but not for the feint of heart. -- Al

With the O's winning the finale of the season series with the NYY's yesterday, it gave the O's the season series 7 games to 6. It is the first time the O's have won the seson series from NY since 2016. Congratulations, O's. It is a little hard to believe that the O's don't see NYY's again this...

Re: At last a Taub. This is spectacular work, both in terms of imaginative use of materials, and in the accuracy of a very difficult and complicated aircraft. I look forward to viewing the finished project. -- Al

ESPN reported that the Rangers are paying $22.5 mil while the Mets are picking up the other $35 million. -- Al

Yep. This subject seems to be sort of in the doldrums right now. A new aircraft would sure go some way to reviving interest. Hint...hint...John? -- Al

It was a treat to watch such a well pitched/played game, especially since the O's won in a walk-off. ^&grin -- Al

I see the Mets have waved the white flag. Traded their closer, Robinson, to the Marlins the other day, and now they are moving Max Scherzer to the Rangers. I'm guessing Verlander is next... -- Al

Sorry for your loss, Doug. Losing a mother is always tough, regardless of one's age. My wife has lost two aunts and a cousin to Alzheimer's and it was very hard in all cases. A terrible disease. -- Al

Very interesting article. The Canadian Corps was so good and efficient at the job that they were used over and over as shock troops. War, and especially WW1, is brutal and one wants to be on the winning side and the Canadians were, contributing greatly to the victory. -- Al

My thoughts exactly. People think Uncle Joe is bad, but what a disaster Harris would be. We have to find better alternatives than we are being offered, on both sides. -- Al

SE-5's of 56 Squadron, Pfalz D-3a's of Jasta 10, McKeever's Brisfit, Halberstadt CL II's, Lafayette Escadrille Nieuports, 11's or 17's, I'll take any or all. -- Al

The weekend series went about as well as it could have, with the O's winning 3 of 4 in Tampa, and leaving town with a 2 game lead. -- Al

What a difference a year or two makes. As of this AM, 7/22/23, The O's, tied for 1st place in the AL East, have the second best record in all of MLB at 59-38. They trail only Atlanta. Two seasons ago, the O's lost 110 games and were 33-64 at the 97 game mark. Last year they were 49-48 at this...

Wahoo! O's take game1 and now have 1st place all to themselves. Been 7 years, but worth the wait. -- Al

Great day in B-more. After chasing the Rays all season, the O's finally caught them. After defeating LA in the last game of the series, and with Tampa losing again, the O's have a virtual tie for first in the AL East, actually a few percentage points ahead of Tampa. Now the O's go into Tampa for...

Tampa has been stumbling. O's have looked bad against LA so far. O's could have grabbed 1st place already had they played better. --Al
