–                          –                          –

Leading Off

Enjoying another “ships passing in the night” week, the guys get Matt Taylor of The Roar From 34 to guest host for Scott. In an All-Star Break shortened week, the Orioles managed to get swept, and things look bleak.

Sorry, if you were hoping for better news, there isn’t any.

Shattered Illusions

Matt Taylor takes the helm in this segment, running through a few of the illusions that have been shattered, as the Orioles’ Dark Ages 2.0 have arrived. Check out Matt’s work over at The Roar From 34, and follow him on Twitter @roarfrom34.

If you liked what he brought to the podcast, you’re going to love what he brings with his “Humor, History, and Homerism (since 2006).”

Blowing the Save

Most podcasts try to end on a high note – the perfect coda to a quality program. That’s just not our style. Each week, we’ll end on a weak note, blowing the save with an item that didn’t quite fit into the episode, or something they simply need to get off their chests. It’s our version of taking the ball and pulling a Kevin Gregg.
