On common ground, Orioles and Nationals have complicated relationship – The Sun
Oh, the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles have a complicated relationship? That’s the fault of MLB commissioner Bud Selig, Peter Angelos and his franchise. Selig coddled Angelos when he didn’t have to:

The Washington Nationals losing a series is always disappointing, but double so when it is to the corrupt Baltimore Orioles for oft stated reasons like “evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.” The Baltimore fanboys in D.C. sports media are surely thrilled.

Once again, a Washington Nationals player, this year its Michael Morse, is a candidate to be the last National League player voted into the All-Star game by fans. Last year it Ryan Zimmerman.
