William World News William F. Yurasko's blog v.14 – Nats, Penn State, Redskins, greater DC , travel, more

Remember when I said I would end my boycott of Camden Yards for one game if MASN fired Rob Dibble? Well, they did not except my olive branch. Dibble is still on MASN and Washington Nationals fans are poorer for it. The latest example came (via DC Sports Bog) yesterday:

I agree with Ray Knight on [...]

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?

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 [...]

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 [...]

I just received an email from MASN asking me to link to an Astroturf-roots Web site that advocates MASN being installed on a North Carolina cable system. While I sympathize with Carolinians who can’t watch the Nats, I am not going to help MASN out.
I’m almost flattered that MASN took the time to spam me, [...]

MASN’s crusade against Comcast continues, this time in Shenandoah Valley. Courtesy of Federal Baseball, I saw this line from MASN flak Todd Webster :
There is something fundamentally un-American about taking away baseball, the national pastime.
So, using MASN’s logic, can we could conclude that Peter Angelo$ is un-American for keeping me from being able to watch [...]

Here we are in season three of the Nats and unfortunately MASN, the cable network owned by Peter Angelo$, still can’t deliver a Nationals game successfully.
Last night, the Nats telecast was relegated to MASN 2, the overflow network that uses CSPAN’s slot on Comcast. Why wouldn’t the home team be on the flagship MASN? [...]
