Nats ratings way up

Nats TV ratings double in 2010 – DC Sports Bog, The Post
The Washington Nationals television ratings have been trending upward for two seasons and are now 1.4, double what they were last year. The ratings were actually greater than the NBA’s Washington Wizards and the hated Baltimore Orioles. Credit goes to HD, Stephen Strasburg and [...]

Why Rob Dibble won’t be doing any more Nats games

Washington Nationals fire TV announcer Rob Dibble after his comments about Stephen Strasburg – The Post
MASN Washington Nationals analyst Rob Dibble, who never let facts get in the way of machismo, has been fired by the team. Oddly enough, he was hired by John Angelos, the son of MASN/Baltimore Orioles principle owner Peter Angelos. How [...]

Angelos doesn’t just hate the Nats & DC, he hates the Ravens too

EXCLUSIVE: It was Peter Angelos vs. Steve Bisciotti in latest skirmish over MASN & Ravens TV rights – WNST
While it is well established that Baltimore Orioles and MASN owner Peter Angelos hates the Washington Nationals and the greater Washington D.C. region, it is less well-known that he hates the Baltimore Ravens too. The wannabe megalomaniac [...]

How would you know Dibble? You don’t remember playing the game!

For a guy that reminds those of us at home that we never played the game, I find it curious that Washington Nationals “analyst” Rob Dibble said:
“The interesting thing is I cannot remember for the life of me actually playing the game. It’s all a blur. I can’t look at a guy on the field [...]

Of course an Angelos hired Rob Dibble for Nats games

Rob Dibble Likes the Nats More Than You Do – CityPaper
No, he doesn’t.
Another week, another article about the awfulness that is Washington Nationals “analyst” Rob Dibble. In addition to quotes from Chris Needham and Jamie Mottram, this article has the completely non-shocking revelation that Dibble was recruited to MASN by John Angelos, son of [...]

Rob Dibble is a curse that keeps on giving (or is it taking?)

There have been a lot of pixels generated about the “analyst” for MASN’s Washington Nationals telecasts, Rob Dibble. The former Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher (a recurring theme of the franchise’s time in D.C.) was called out by GQ as being part of the 5th worst announcing team in the majors. Obviously, that isn’t just Dibble [...]

MASN didn’t fire Dibble so Orioles boycott continues

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 [...]

Shockingly, a Dibble quote doesn’t ruin a Strasburg article

How to Call What You Can’t See – Wall Street Journal
For the first six paragraphs, this article on how difficult Stephen Strasburg has been on the umpires was really interesting. Rob Dibble, the meathead ex-pitcher who provides “analysis” of Washington Nationals games for MASN is quoted, but surprisingly, doesn’t ruin the article. Dibble and [...]

Oh no, Stephen Strasburg is on the SI cover

Strasburg gets on the cover, so I fear the jinx.

A vendetta against Peter Angelos should not be so lonely

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 [...]
