PrintThis Thursday, February 25th, I will be joining Drew Forrester in studio from 7:00-8:30 to talk about the Orioles and their 2010 season. Drew has also invited me to call in and talk Orioles baseball three days per week for the remainder of Spring Training. Instead of just making a brief announcement the way I've done in the past I thought I should provide something of a preemptive response to what some of you will say.
I know that a lot of people here dislike WNST, especially in regards to Nestor Aparicio and Drew Forrester. It wouldn't take much searching around Camden Chat to discover that on occasion I've had a few choice things to say about them myself. It might seem curious that I'd agree to appear on WNST with Drew given his reputation for taking an extreme negative view of the Orioles and the hijinks that WNST has been a part of in the past, but I do have a few (what I think are good) reasons.
For one thing, it's a pretty big thing for Camden Chat to be invited to take such a role on a traditional media outlet. Regardless of your opinion on WNST, that is what they are. In this changing age of media I think it's important to take advantage of an opportunity to present Camden Chat as a legitimate source of Orioles analysis and discussion.
Additionally, I have to admit that I was flattered to be asked and also intrigued at the idea of doing something so totally out of my realm of comfort and experience. Don't get me wrong, I had reservations about accepting the offer. I discussed it with a few people whose opinions I value and ultimately decided to do it. I was worried that by going on Drew Forrester's show I might be perceived as endorsing some of the things that he and WNST have said or done in the past and that certainly isn't the case. If anything I think that my opportunity to interact with Drew might offer some balance to his opinions that could make for good discussion.
If you dislike WNST I certainly don't expect you to change your opinion based on the fact that I'll be appearing there. And who knows what I'll get out of the experience? Whether it'll turns out to be positive or negative, I think that at the very least it'll be interesting.
You can hear WNST at 1570AM in Baltimore and online at WNST.net.

I wouldn’t worry at all about justifying your appearance on WSNT. However moronic the general public may find Nestor and Drew, they’re a legit news source. If anything, the fact they’re perceived as moronic should be a incentive to appear on them because it gives you the opportunity to engage a conversation that will increase the quality of public debate. Be civil and respectful of whatever insanity they may espouse, but this is your opportunity to not only promote Camden Chat, but also inject some sensible thinking into the airwaves.

I saw you do what you want
There’s never any shame in getting better-informed information out there to the yahoos who don’t have a clue about what this club needs. I mean, I’d rather WNST have YOU on than Schmuck or the like.
That said, I think you appearing there burnishes their credentials, not the other way around. And i we attract a passel of “regular WNST listeners” to this site as a result, OY VEY. Bust out the community guidelines every day.

I don't like WNST
But I do like Baltimore sports, which has always been quite the conundrum.

At least in Baltimore
you have radio stations that actually talk about the baseball team. Sportstalk 980 barely ever mentions the Nationals.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I listened for like 5 minutes and I already am hating on these guys

I didn't think they were that bad at all. I had a blast.

Will the chat be posted on their website?

The media player on WNST.net is sponsored by Toyota
and now it’s not working! Is there nothing that Toyota won’t ruin?!?
Media Player
That cheap Nestor, won’t even invest in decent equipment to keep up with the large market radio stations. OMG, I sound like one of THEM.
Wait, their website is cheap?
The internet and the phone that is in your hand or pocket is the ultimate equalizer. EVERYONE has access to WNST.net from anywhere in the world where there is cellphone service. Every day more people find us — on Twitter, Facebook, Google, You Tube, etc. And our website is clearly the best in the market for technology, distribution of the sponsors who keep us in business and the timely distribution of content.
That comment may be true, but the website is a mess. It’s just awful.
that's weird
I know a couple of people have listened to it from there. Maybe it’s on the fritz again though.

I just want to know why you hate Animal Planet. and free will or something.
that last caller was awesome.
There was also a little too much "the orioles are cheap and refuse to spend money to make the team better" for my liking
but if thats the worst WNST comes up with, it was a good morning.
well
i am new here but i don’t think anyone could lump you and them 2 idiots together. you seem very educated with the game and an overall nice person well besides the u know my punctuation thing. i say do your thing you never know what may come from it
audio doesn't work
I hit play and i can see the play bar loading up with content but there’s no sound. The bar stays flush to the left.
Bruce Springsteen rules.
SORRY
Sorry WNST Tells it how it is unlike a tune of people that work for the orioles and want to kiss there butts.
