Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
I'm not gonna hold my breath, BUT like someone else said if it's Steve I'll also drop a grand on tickets to make a statement.

Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
I hope it's true that Angelos may sell the Orioles, but it's too late for Flanagan. And yeah, I do blame that arrogant asshole Angelos for Flanny's suicide. Don't like it, too bad.

Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
I'd be interested in watching baseball again if I knew there was an owner committed to winning.

Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
i'd be the 3rd person to drop a grand if this was true. If they sold ownership i am willing to bet that the first few weeks the stadium would be sold out and rockin'.

Re: O's Are (Quietly) For Sale
When Peter Angelos first became the Owner of the Baltimore Orioles, he spent plenty of money trying to field a quality team. During the mid-late nineties, it was the Yankees and Orioles, not Yankees and Red Sox, that were spending the big money, sort of speak. I get the sense that Angelos, being a relatively new baseball owner, felt that he had to field such a team to make money.
Eventually, Angelos found a way to make money without spending close to 200 million on player payroll. That something was MASN. Any prospective owner will insist on MASN and the day Angelos gives it up is the day that we should really be concerned with his health."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector.

Its going to happen eventually. You see rumors like this pop up every 6 months or so. Where there is smoke, there is fire.
Plus, there is known to be interest in Angelos purchasing a horse racing track and adding slot machines to it. There are bylaws in the MLB that prevent any owner of a team from taking part in anything else gambling related. That me he has to choose.Follow me on twitter at @dandrews66

How right you are, my friend.
I was born in 83 and growing up there was no Baltimore football for me. But there was the Baltimore Orioles. I say every year I give up on this team and every year, here I sit trying to point at every positive this team may have. I'm laughed at by people that ask how can you still root for them.
As long as PA owns the team I am hoping for two things and that's him to sell or his death. I could careless about him or his life. He ruined my favorite childhood sport and that was Baltimore Orioles baseball. There was nothing like opening day, or rooting for the O's.
PA don't give a shit about the fans and how we feel. He couldn't carry big Steve's jock. Look at the way these two franchises are ran. So different but yet have two great fan bases.
So if Peter you read this or someone who knows Pete reads this and wants to relay a message to him, its that I hope he either sells the team or is found dead. Don't like how harsh I am then oh well. PA ruined Baltimore baseball and is wasting a beautiful stadium all by himself.

All great points.
The suggestion that it was Bisciotti was my interpretation of the news. Everyone should listen and draw their own conclusions.
That said, these guys have been more right than wrong when they drop nuggets like this. It may not be Bisciotti, but given their track record, I'd put money on that someone is indeed negotiating with Angelos about buying the team and that MASN is the sticking point.
