This could be the final countdown on Angelos vs. Lerner on the field and in the courtrooms. The owners of the Orioles and Nationals have been embroiled in legal battles for over a decade. On the field, not so much in any battles of significance in the hyped Battle of the Beltways. In the long back-and-forth over MASN annual TV rights, the Lerners could hand over the legal wranglings to new ownership if the rumored sale of the Nats goes through, essentially ending the drama between the Angelos and Lerner families.  Continue reading →

First off, we are twenty-one years removed from the horrific events of 9/11 when New York, Washington, DC, and America were attacked.  Being removed is just the years apart, and we must remember this day.
