The Washington Nationals head up to the wrong end of the B\/W Parkway (that’s north nationals.com<\/b><\/a> Nationals Enquirer<\/i>) to face the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards for the final interleague series of the season. The good guys won the last series, held in Nationals Park, 2-1 when Josh Willingham hit a walk off homer in the 10th<\/b><\/a>. I admit I have a bad feeling about this series, the Nats aren’t hitting again and the I could see O’s winning, if only to upset me.<\/p>\n

I’m glad that I have not seen Facebook statuses and Twitter updates of Nats fans talking about being bad Washingtonians and giving O’s owner Peter Angelos<\/b> money by attending the series — that would reward his bad behavior (voting no to move, taking the Nats TV rights) against D.C. and the Nats. There isn’t a lot of hate for the O’s out there<\/b><\/a> though and that is something I feel I need to fix. My extensive archives of Orioles\/Angelos hate (overlapping as they may be) can be viewed via this category Peter Angelos is a coward<\/b><\/a> and this tag MASN Sucks<\/b><\/a>. Oh and since MASN forces a meathead “analyst” on Nats viewers, be sure to check out the Rob Dibble<\/b><\/a> tag.<\/p>\n

Am I thrilled the Orioles are having a historically bad season<\/a><\/strong> (The Post<\/em>)? Is the Pope German? I just hope there is not a Stephen Strasburg<\/b> or Bryce Harper<\/b> waiting for them to draft. I’m thinking along the lines of Todd Van Poppel<\/b> or Brien Taylor<\/b>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
