Lerners, MLB Finish Details of Nats Deal<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Being Washington, not everyone is happy with the seemingly imminent announcement in favor of the Lerner bid, even though that group is probably best prepared to run a franchise. The ever-present issue of race is creating a lot of commotion in the Wilson Building since it only became known last week that the Lerner group added black investors. Additionally, the Lerners have not made any contact with District, which has upset the politicans, although MLB had asked them to take that approach. In short, the Lerners have been found guilty in the court of public opinion without a trial. Apparently, the Lerners would have remained in the council’s good graces if they had helped a federal agency purge Jewish employees or barbecued a dog.<\/p>\n

Additoinally, the Council passed emergency legislation that requires all D.C. cable companies to carry MASN, which plays into the hands of Peter Angelo$<\/b>. I am very dissapointed in the council for doing his dirty work, but you already knew that, didn’t you?<\/p>\n

By the way, that MLB has been so politically tone-deaf throughout the process is a national disgrace<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Incoming president Stan Kasten<\/b> gets more copy than Lerner. You cannot ask for a much better baseball r\u00e9sum\u00e9 than his.<\/p>\n
Council wants Comcast meeting<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
More on the council’s attempts to legislate the Nats (MASN) onto Comcast in D.C. They want to the two sides to meet and work something out — or else! That is fine, but they should not punish Comcast (which it pains me to say) if they will not (because they can’t) punish Angelo$.<\/p>\n

MissChatter live-blogged their session<\/b><\/a> yesterday as well as the Barry-Orange resolution<\/b><\/a> on ownership. That motion failed.<\/p>\n

Marlon Byrd continued to hit well and scored three runs yesterday. Alfonso Soriano<\/b> and Damian Jackson<\/b> homered too.<\/p>\n
