This is a thing that has made me jealous for years.  Baltimore hires good people then expects them to be lap dogs.  It is just so embarrassing really.

He only owns the team because of his dad.  He never built anything himself.

Who in the world do you think would defend him over this? 

"Why, you all don't know my friend John Angelos at all.  He's a fantastic guy!  You can trust me, Phillip A. Randomguy, when I tell you, you won't find a better owner in sports, or a better human being in general, for that matter."

They are few and far between.  Not naming names, just stuff I've picked up on over the years. You are obviously not one lol. 

Next time you see one point them out to me so I can punch them in the face.

"How dare Kevin Brown do that to John?  After all the team has done for him!"

This is incredible. Had to be Melanie Newman. I thought it was odd that Brown was on radio that series. Arnold on TV that series.

What players can’t you mention? 
 

What a child. Complete embarrassment.

Rumor has it when an announcer mentions BJ Ryan, John Angelos sheds a solitary tear. Every time.

So Melanie Newman wears Orioles gear in public and that’s against the rules?  How pathetic. 
 

Can only imagine the work environment in the warehouse.

Would be great if the media very strongly coming to defense of one of their own was the thing that tipped the Angelos' family to sell.

There was a breaking point with Snyder. He long maintained that they would have to pry the team from his cold, dead hands, so even the pressure other owners were putting on him didn't automatically mean he would sell. The rumor is that the incessant negative publicity got to his wife/kids.

I would welcome that here. Covering owners like Snyder and Angelos this way isn't yellow journalism; they are custodians of organizations that belong more to the city than to them, and they have track records of abusing that privilege.

Never fail to see the ownership somehow find a way to bumble something positive into a negative. Really wish MLB found a way to force the Angelo’s family out

The media's hated on the Angeloses rightfully for like, 20 years.  It never bothered them before.  I don't know why it would start now.
