    As for Angelos, I agree, but at least he hired a GM now who has kept up on things, unlike MacPhail, who never seemed to adjust from his time away from the game in the front office. He also hasn't spent as much as he should have, considering all of the work his law firm does. This season still doesn't atone for the years of penny-pinching and apathy, however.
    They'll never win with Snyder. It's the ownership and everyone knows it. I've worked with employees there. I've been to that stadium. I've watched the team for his entire tenure. He can't build winner.

    Angelos ran the team in to the ground, then tried to block DC baseball because he knew that if the Expos came to DC, he'd actually have to field a decent team. Despite all his attempts and dealing, he still failed. The Orioles have built a good team inspite of him
    The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept.
    As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!
    If only I had died instead of you
    O Absalom, my son, my son!"

        Not even going to get excited but MIL is only 6.5 back of the WC and they have 4 vs a pretty bad Miami team coming up.
