Orioles are such a mess, whatever they do I'm sure will backfire horribly on them though

The O's and the Nats should just merge into one embarrassment instead of 2.

With the Lerners pushing the Nats now, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nats competing in the NL East within the next 2-3 years, upping the payroll and trying to field a contender. Which they should be able to do with the new stadium and excitement that will draw.

Angelos on the other hand needs to have cement boots tied to his feet and be thrown into the Inner Harbor.

Even with Santana, the Mets will figure out a way to combust once September rolls around.

I agree with you across the board.

I just read that the Nat's minor league system went from being ranked dead last in 2007 to now being ranked 9th in 2008. Granted, these are just rankings and we all know they don't always pan out, but I don't think they can be completely ignored.
The Nats might not be all that good now but at least it looks like they have a plan whereas the O's are even starting to lose the die-hards.
