John Angelos’ latest tomfoolery puts another damper on Orioles’ bright future | ANALYSIS

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:45 GMT

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde watches his team’s young stars with the same sense of appreciation fans do.“I feel extremely fortunate just to be able to watch them every day in my seat,” Hyde said.If one believes Orioles CEO and Chairman John Angelos — a bold proposition in itself — those days are limited. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Angelos suggested that the only way for the club to keep its core players beyond their guaranteed years of team control would be to “dramatically” raise prices at Camden Yards, saying the organization could otherwise not afford to do so.“Let’s say we sat down and showed you the financials for the Orioles,” Angelos told The Times. “You will quickly see that when people talk about giving this player $200 million, that player $150 million, we would be so financially underwater that you’d have to raise the prices massively.

Howie Carr: City Council blotter …

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:45 GMT

The Wednesday meeting at City Hall traditionally begins with the clerk saying, “The Council will come to order.”The way things have been going lately, a more appropriate start to the Council meeting might be with these words:“Will the defendants please rise?”The preliminary elections in Boston are less than three weeks away now. At the candidates’ nights, the moderator usually admonishes candidates to “try to answer the questions within the time limits.”Now, the more appropriate warning to the incumbents might be: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”State-run media has been whining of late about a lack of “civility” on the fifth floor at Boston City Hall. Actually, what’s in short supply is not “civility,” it’s “law and order.”Consider the crime wave that has engulfed 1 City Hall Square.The “Mr. Big” of the lawless mob is “Ricky” Ricardo Arroyo, the district councilor from Hyde Park.
