I guess the Orioles would mean the other owners and mother,father and brother. This is strictly a Moore or Los production.

No matter what we do, knowing he is there to potentially sabotage everything really keeps you grounded.

Just an awful person to be the owner of your favorite team even if he has done some things we have all wanted for years.

I’m hoping that the delay is that they’re going to unveil a truly ambitious (and awe-inspiring) revitalization plan for the surrounding area that will cause great excitement.

A guy can dream, can’t he?

More like a plan to put more money in Angelos' pockets.

I am grateful for the decision to hire Elias & Sig and overhaul everything. So at least they're capable of making intelligent decisions. 

But petty stuff like this.... come on. It's embarrassing.

That statement said a whole lot of nothing. A worthless political grand standing piece of dung that tells the fans nothing other than hopes and dreams of a politician and his Billionaire friend who together are trying to find out how much money and/or political capital they can make out of this situation. 

Thankfully the baseball operation side is good hands for now. Anytime you talk about anything other than the on field product and the minor league systems it's gets depressing.

Yeah, well he's not missing anything...

This is why I've never thought this clown would sell.  He loves being a player in the city.  Moore is his new BFF.  He has never worked so stealing some tax payer money is the way to go.  Why give any of that up?

The issue is John Angelos who operates the Baltimore Orioles and MASN, but doesn't own either, is not a billionaire and is probably not that wealthy.  Peter Angelos still owns the Orioles and he is incapacitated.  It also appears the biggest part of Peter Angelos wealth left is just the value of the Orioles.  His law firm, where he earned his wealth, appears to be gone without him running it.  So that leaves the Orioles with just the earnings they generate from the team.  Where most sports owners like the Ravens owners and most else have wealth coming in from their other business.  They are not going to spend money until Peter Angelos is no longer with us.  I highly doubt John Angelos will be able to buy the Orioles from his father's estate and the Orioles will eventually have newer much more stable, at least financially, ownership.  When that happens is just not known.  I don't think owning a small market baseball team is a license to print money like owning any NFL team is.

*He nabbed Elias.  And is at least in the conversation as being a WS contending owner.

*Ducks and runs for cover.

Was the main reason he lucked into Elias the fact that Elias was advocating a massive cut cutting teardown?

Probably...and Elias wasn't wrong.
