Tomorrow is the renewal of the Battle of the Beltway(s) series between our beloved Washington Nationals and the hated Orioles. In case of you may be thinking of making the 90 minute drive up there, I thought I would remind you that Peter Angelo$<\/span> is a vindictive coward who has hurt the Washington Nationals and by extension the District of Columbia over the last several years.<\/p>\n

  • Angelo$ was the only owner to vote against the Expos relocating to Washington.\n
  • Remember how most of us couldn’t watch the Nationals regularly for two seasons? That was Angelo$ doing. Angelo$ and MLB made a corrupt bargain to put the Nats TV rights in the hands of someone who had an interest in limiting the ability of a “competitor” to succeed. Thomas Boswell<\/span> accused Angelo$ of trying to “kill the baby in the crib.” This cost the Nationals from getting full media exposure during the crucial first year which could have sold more tickets and contributed to the D.C. treasury.\n
  • He is duplicitous and hypocritical — remember when he said “there are no baseball fans in Washington D.C. that’s a fiction.” If that is true Petey, why you “need” the TV rights. Also, take a look at his past rhetoric for use of the term “monopolists.” Isn’t it something how he forgets that he sought to retain his monopoly of baseball in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.\n
  • The production values of Malevolent Angelo$ Sports Network — players being named incorrectly, poor A\/V fidelity, and treating the Nats like the visiting team on their own network. Malevolent Angelo$ Sports Network screwed up a Penn State telecast last season too.\n
  • He has recklessly thrown money away (see Belle, Albert; Ponson, Sidney), but now finds it more convenient to blame Washington for his inability to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox. This is the basis for his subsidy argument when in truth 15 years of bad franchise management got his team where it is now, not having another team 35 miles (and 90 minutes away on game nights) to the south.\n
  • It has been said Angelo$ wanted to by mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland. Clearly the people of that city and state knew better and are not falling for his “look, it stuck it Washington, so you should love me” actions. Washingtonians shouldn’t have to suffer because Baltimore had to the good sense not to empower him from the ballot box.\n

    In short, Angelo$ has wielded his disproportionate power to keep the Nats from fully realizing the potential of their market for petty, personal reasons and to keep himself from having to work hard. The Nats can not realize their full revenue potential because they have to subsidize Angelo$’ mediocrity. Do you really want to reward that kind of bad behavior?<\/p>\n
