Luke: Several members of the grounds crew are squeegeeing water off the tarp as the rain has slowed considerably. #Orioles #Nationals
This reminds me... when I was in the pressbox, Lance & Nestor were trading barbs about (presumably me) BSL having press passes when Nestor doesn't. The kid sitting next to me worked for WNST, so I was watching them argue (about me) on his tweetdeck. Awkward.

No problem. I've been enjoying ESPN's coverage during the delay. They've been showing live games the whole time as their scheduled Mets/Yankees game is also in a delay. I'm ready for some Orioles Magic!

LOL, sour grapes.
My take on Nestor (and this will be the only time I put this out there):
When a team loses for 15 consecutive seasons, there's going to be a massive audience for your "F the team" mantra. He can bang the drum with the best of them, and people were more than happy to follow as poor on-field results ensued.
When the team starts playing better though, everybody kind of gets tired of that shtick. Even made a comment about MASN going to ESPN during rain delay (why is that something to bitch about? Seriously.). There's an audience for it, but it's dwindling fast.
When that happens and your material dries up, you need to find other ways to keep that "I've got a chip on my shoulder" attitude going, finding ways to imagine you're slighted anyway possible.
Whatever. Reality TV exists because people like drama. If you want reality TV when it comes to baseball, I'll gladly point you to NEstor. If you actually want to understand the game of baseball better, I hope you find the stuff I (and the rest of the BSL staff) write to be insightful.

Eff that. That's a low blow to BSL for no good reason.
He was mad. To quote my 14 year old daughter, "it's not fair!"

Being from outside the listening area, I've never actually heard his show before. That being said, everything I've seen about him makes me think he's an angry pessimist.

It must be a pain in the ass to have ridden your schtick so strongly that now you can't turn back. Now, your hometown team has a good baseball team, something you swore would never happen under Angelos, and you can't even enjoy it. Bitterness is just sad.

Jeff, who were you sitting next to, Luke Jones?
Lance has reached out to Nestor via email, attempting to gain an interview.

He's such a hack and a tool. He doesn't get credentials because he's not legit media, he's a joke. A wanna-be Howard Stern of the sports world. Let him sit around and cry with his tin foil hat on, but I don't know what's worse, the moronic ideas fans call in with, or the moronic ideas that some of the on-air people have back. (Small sample size, as I've tried to listen like 3 times and after a couple minutes wanted to drive my car into oncoming traffic because it was so terrible). I was just astonished at people trying to pass themselves off as experts and just how little they actually knew.
