Wonder if any criminal charges get brought in that white Sox-guardians fight.

Tim Anderson thinks he's Jackie Robinson AND Michael Spinks

@VirginiaLonghorn Is there any more to this? They suspended this guy for just re-iterating to what the on screen graphic was telling everyone. He called them 'slouches', which is accurate based on those numbers. 

 

I’m puzzled.  Kevin Brown is a delightful PBP guy.  He’s factual proving he’s done his homework, quick witted and downright funny, and a perfect foil to two distinct opposite personalities in Jim Palmer and Ben McDonald.

Following is a snippet I found that seems to point to the assholes who unfortunately own the team …
 

“The O’s and MASN have yet to commented (sic) on Brown’s indefinite suspension, but it would appear these orders come from the top.

“Awful Announcing has confirmed through multiple sources familiar with the situation that Brown has been suspended indefinitely, that it came after the Rays series, that he only wound up on the radio for the Phillies’ series thanks to another controversy about a different announcer’s apparel, and that the comment here seems to be what’s at issue,” Andrew Bucholtz, Sean Keeley, and Ben Koo wrote.

This is far from the first time Baltimore’s broadcast booth has been at odds with the organization itself. Peter Angelos fired Hall of Famer Jon Miller in 1997 because of honest commentary about the team’s play. Baltimore also owes the Nationals $100 million (for now) over MASN broadcasting rights fees.

What a mess.”

P.S.  Brown did the women’s college softball WS this year.  So, he’s no slouch ..

What the hell? There was absolutely nothing controversial about anything he said. He said they were not slouches, he didn't even insult the Rays.

Baffling.

Nothing baffling about the Angelos family.  Father and now sons have silenced Jon Miller, Gary Thorne, and Kevin Brown.  O’s-owned MASN BBS is not taking this well.

BTW, one storyline has the Angelos’ slow rolling a new lease for OPACY .. potentially in hopes Nashville comes courting.

Too bad Omar ain’t around to clean up that mess …

I struggled to find a single thing wrong with what he said.

Maybe just him pointing out how much the Orioles had struggled at Tropicana Field...but come on the network even made a little graphic for it. It wasn't like he was going off script blasting the Os for sucking.
