Subject: BS: Baseball to Washington, D.C.?????
Hey, like what gives? Here the Montreal Expos, which are co-owned by all the teams owners are loosing big bucks and it's way past time to move them. The candidates: Richmond, Va, Podunk, Iowa or the Nation's Capitol, Washington, D.C.

Well, givens D.C.'s solid financial proposals this should be a no brainer except...

...there's a little mobster, Peter Amgelos, who owns the Baltimore Orioles and he's afraid his perennial sucky team will loose it's D.C. fans!

Bud Selig has been draggin' his foot so bad that he's worn off the entire side of his shoe, his sock, the shin and he's down to the bone...

This should be a no brainer.

Heck, D.C. is the only city that has had not one, but two, baseball teams stolen from it. The Senators that became the Minnesota Twins and the Senators (Part 2) who became the Texas Rangers.

Well, my mama told me that life wouldn't always be fair but this absolutely sucks and if Bud Selig knuckles under to Thug Angelos then I'm gonna attempt to bring a suit against the friggin' baseball mobsters...

Anyone want in?

Mad as heck!
