Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 14:04:01 GMT
A 31-year-old rule nicknamed the “anti-chump clause” makes the Ravens a significant, if silent, party to the Orioles’ ongoing lease negotiations by mandating that the state can’t treat one team better than the other.Under the parity clause, the state is like a parent legally bound to love each of its children the same.“It guarantees that we would be treated the same in future dealings, that if they’re going to do something special for the football team, they do something equally special for the baseball team,” said Larry Lucchino, who helped draft the clause in 1992 as Orioles president and CEO.At the time, Maryland was hotly pursuing an NFL club after the Colts abruptly left for Indianapolis in 1984. Lucchino called the clause “anti-chump” because it ensured the Orioles wouldn’t get left behind when a football team arrived and began negotiating a lease with the Maryland Stadium Authority. The Ravens began play in 1996.This...If Orioles reach divisional playoffs, opener may clash with Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks show at Ravens stadium

If the Orioles find themselves in the opening game of the American League Division Series, there could be a clash with a big concert already scheduled for the same day at the Ravens’ M&T Bank Stadium.Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks are scheduled to perform Saturday, Oct. 7, at M&T. Major League Baseball has four division league series scheduled to start that day. If the Os win the American League East Division and therefore get a first-round bye, Oct. 7 would be their first postseason game.The teams have been in communication about the date and are hopeful of heading off any potential problems, according to two officials with direct knowledge of the matter who declined to be named because the talks are private.But it could be complicated because MLB said Tuesday that Oct. 7 is locked in.While the date can’t change, the league may have some flexibility with the start time. MLB determines game times later, once it knows the matchups.Under the Orioles’ lease, the ...Column: With the Chicago Cubs in a heated race, every decision by manager David Ross is highly scrutinized
Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 14:04:01 GMT
For a guy who participated in “Dancing With the Stars,” Chicago Cubs manager David Ross has no real feel for Hollywood endings.Making his major-league debut off the bench Monday night at Coors Field in Colorado, top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong came to the plate with a runner on first and no outs in the ninth inning, after the Cubs had taken a one-run lead over the Rockies.Cubs fans, who could recall Willson Contreras and Christopher Morel homering in their first major-league at-bats, were hoping for some similar heroics from the most hyped rookie since Kris Bryant, hitting in the hitter-friendly ballpark.Then Crow-Armstrong laid down a sacrifice bunt. The Cubs failed to score an insurance run but escaped with a one-run win. Crow-Armstrong would have to wait another day to show us what the hype is all about. Ross presumably slept well.These final 17 games will be about whether the Cubs can avoid the agitating offensive shutdowns that have cropped up from time to time, in...Floods Wipe Out Roads Rails and Homes in Leominster

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 14:04:01 GMT
LONDON (AP) — Bye, Lightning cable. Hello, USB-C. Apple is ditching its in-house iPhone charging plug and falling in line with the rest of the tech industry by adopting a more widely used connection standard. A big part of the reason is a European Union common charging rule that’s coming soon for the 27-nation bloc. Here’s a look at the USB-C plug and what it means for consumers: WHAT IS USB-C AND HOW CAN I TELL IT APART FROM OTHER PLUGS? The first part of the acronym stands for Universal Serial Bus, and it replaces earlier versions of the USB cables used on everything from printers and hard drives to computer mice and Kindle readers. The USB-C plug comes in a different shape than its predecessors — an elongated oval. It’s also symmetrical and reversible, which eliminates one of the common gripes about previous versions like the rectangular USB-A connectors because there’s no wrong way to plug it in. WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT USB-C? USB-C cables can carry more power so...South Korean and Polish leaders visit an air base in eastern Poland, discuss defense and energy ties
