As some have noticed I post about the Os. Basically because my beloved is such a huge fan, and sometimes he is away and not only misses news of the day but also sports news of the day.

I find the Os manager rather interesting. He says he hopes to accomplish more in 2005, I sure hope he does.

But I do wonder with baseball returning to DC how will that impact the franchise.

I just want to see the Os win. The days of Cal sees so long ago.

Well, must be off to watch Football (I am a Cowboys fan, beloved a Redskin fan)

BTW, the VA Tech Hokies won yesterday, along with my Utes. Life is good in our household today! :)

FMC, sorry to tell you this, but the "inside scoop" from those close to Angelos are reporting that the DC team, and especially the sweetheart deal MLB is giving him, could be the worst news possible for Orioles fans.

Angelos is known for putting poor talent on the field and was the number two cause for the dramatic decrease in attendance in Baltimore--the highly organized boycott of the Orioles by loyal DC baseball fans was number one. Apparently, with the value of his team and annual revenues guaranteed by MLB, Angelos will have even more incentive NOT to spend his own money to field a competitive team on par with the Yankees and Red Sox.

Experts are saying we could be looking at losing seasons as far as the eye can see, so long as Angelos remains team owner.

Maybe he'll sell the team sooner than later. I hope so for your sake . . . TheTopRead

Does anyone know if they've officially named the new DC team? It is actually the Senators again or have they not yet decided? Sorry, I've been a bit out of the loop lately...

As a Yankee fan, I'm glad Mazzilli did well in the second half. He's not in the best situation there, because he didn't get to pick his coaches, and there was all sorts of speculation that he'd be fired after this year.
