Once seen as a beacon of affordability and an emblem of the working class, diners are becoming less commonplace and financially viable, with the few city eateries promising to carry on the tradition needing to evolve to survive.
It’s not shocking that Basallo is producing at the major league level. You need immense talent to be a Top 10 prospect in all of baseball and make your major league debut four days after your 21st birthday. However, what is suprising is how quickly he’s made adjustments that seasoned big league hitters often struggle to make.

The Orioles have claimed right-hander Christian Roa off waivers from the Twins and optioned him to Triple-A, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. With the transaction, Roa takes the 40-man roster spot of Lou Trivino, who was designated for assignment earlier in the day.

Is this 2025 all over again? For many in the Orioles organization, they had better hope not.

Freddie Leatherbury came to Camden Yards hungry, because he was hell-bent on getting his money’s worth. The Orioles fan from Catonsville decided Thursday would be the day to splurge for a secondhand market ticket to the all-inclusive Truist Club.

But you knew that. This city is made up of a diverse group of people, of all different backgrounds and lives. But I guarantee you every single resident, at least once, has met a stranger who learns where we live, recoils melodramatically and yells, “Oh no! That’s so scary! I’ve seen ‘The Wire!’”
