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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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.

Nationals Withhold Rent on Ballpark – The PostI really want to give the Lerner family the benefit of the doubt on their claim that the ballpark was not “substantially complete” on time, but I have a hard time doing it. Surely, something must be very wrong for them to risk such potential public backlash, right? [...]

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 [...]
