This list was made after the 2025 draft. The Orioles had seven early picks and a record money allotment and got good reviews for their selections.
I think Basallo will join the major league roster in August or September. I think Beavers will get a promotion too, maybe sooner depending on who the Orioles trade.
“When You’re Young and in Love” is best known from the 1967 Marvelettes version but Ruby & the Romantics recorded it in 1964.
Tired of franchise and superhero movies? Want to see a completely original film? Then ‘Sinners’ is for you. It’s not like any other film I can name. It’s a unique Black Horror film. It’s got the blues, 1930s history, look and sound, vampires and great actors. Michael B. Jordan plays twins but this never seems like a stunt.
I watched the Blu-ray disc and recommend watching the bonus features, too. They are much better than normal and give insights into how the film was made. Usually, the bonus features are the director talking about how great the actors and and the producer and actors complimenting the director.
I wasn’t a horror fan but it seems that is where most of the really original films are. I’m thinking of Jordan Peele’s movies, ‘Talk to Me’, and ‘Late Night with the Devil’ to name a few. They all have a fresh contemporary look at horror.
I saw a car that had a bumper sticker that said “I’m a Pinto bomb” many years ago.
The employees and all of their knowledge will be gone – they will have moved on to other jobs or retired
Trump will have gotten rid of the buildings
I assume that the Trump administration will have destroyed paper and digital records so there will be no history or baseline to start from.
Nobody will want to work for the federal government. There is no job security. A future Republican administration can get rid of them and their work. The Supreme Court is Trump’s accomplice.
Republicans will try to block funding to rebuild agencies. Their increase to the debt from their tax cuts for rich people will also make it harder to get funding.
The Orioles have four early picks – 19, 30, 31 and 37. I hope they draft some college pitchers instead of the usual position players.
The Orioles 1999 draft was a real disaster. They had seven of the first 50 picks and only got one good player out of them – Brian Roberts. Here’s a column by Roch Kubatko on that draft.
Why The Orioles Are Now One Of The MLB Draft’s Most Fascinating Teams
The Post has been part of the problem. They have some good writers but their ownership and leadership has shifted to right. Many Post employees have left. I trust their judgement.
I knew the Supreme Court would cave in to Trump but I have been very disappointed by the behavior of some law firms and universities. They will learn that Trump treats compliance as weakness and will keep asking for more.
Sad!
