Angelos says Nats’ success is good for O’s – The Sun
Failed baseball team owner and noted Baltimoron Peter Angelos has changed his tune about the Washington Nationals.
“What’s good for the Nationals is good for MASN,” Angelos said. “That makes me happy…
The Baltimore Orioles being last in the standings makes me happy.
The one upside of historically [...]

MASN loses feed from Wrigley – The PostIf thought Rob Dibble was bad, just wait until you hear him without video. MASN (the network that hates Washington, the Nationals and their fans) had no video for a good chunk of last night’s game. We don’t know if it was malevolence or just Baltimoron incompetence that [...]

Good news Washingtonians, you can watch the the Jim Riggleman press conference at 2:30 p.m. today on Comcast Sports Net Washington. Why support the Baltimore-based, Peter Angelos-owned, anti-Washington/Nats MASN when you don’t have to?

Another Wild Night Ends With Another Loss – The PostNats waste surprising rally after rain delay – The Wash. TimesOnce again, the Nats found another disappointing way to lose. Shairon Martis gave the Nats seven innings of 2-run ball, but the offense could not get any runs across. Then, in the ninth, the Reds closer [...]

Nationals’ TV Ratings Improve – The PostThe Nats ratings have improved, but they are still awful. The combination of inept play and Peter Angelos keeping them off TV for two seasons and making them the stepchild of MASN have caused this situation.
Nationals head for most losses ever – The Wash. TimesOh, it’s bad. Real bad. [...]

MASN may be the Nats’ home network, but not on Twitter – Nationals PrideWould it surprise you to learn that MASN, the cable channel the Nats are forced to be televised by because of Bud Selig’s corrupt bargain with Peter Angelos, has found another way to short the Nationals and Washington D.C. baseball fans? Of [...]

In a survey of the top and bottom five owners in the four major sports by Sports Illustrated is not well represented. The Lerner family comes in at 5th worst MLB owner(s) while Redskins owner Dan Snyder is ranked 3rd worst NFL owner.
The Lerners are on the list because they have seemed only concerned about [...]

Single-game tickets to the Orioles are apparently on sale now. While it may be tempting to take in a Nationals road game 40 miles away, doing so says that you:
- agree that the Nats television rights should not belong to them
- did not think it was unfair that a vast majority of the Nats first [...]

Nats Striking Out on TV – The PostIt seems the Nats are not too popular on television. There are many reasons for this, but let’s look at the #1 reason why:
Peter Angelo$
He kept that Nats off of TV for their first two years and then put him on a substandard channel with an obvious bias [...]

Here is the lineup (courtesy of Nationals Journal) that the Nationals used yesterday in beating the hated, cowardly, subsidized Orioles:
Bernadina – 8Guzman – 2Dukes – 9Boone – 3Casto – 5Pena – 7Harris – 4Nieves – 2Bergmann – 1
That is pretty far from a murderous row isn’t it? Yet, despite such an uninspiring lineup, the [...]
