Frankly the Os have done little for me to stay a fan. My beloved is an Os fan, from the Ripkin days and before. He has always had good memories of the team.

However, the last 5 years has really gotten the best of him. They were over paid thought they could get away with anything. They worried about the buck more then the game.

To go for just 2, would cost us over 100.00. Maybe a little competition will do some good.

In the end you will have 2 football teams and 2 baseball teams in spitting range. Should be interesting.

Here is a thought, perhaps the new team can get Cal to come on board. Now that would be worth watching for sure.

I can't imagine, from the standpoint of a suburban baseball fan, how this team could compete with the lowly Frederick Keys, or the Bowie Baysox, or any of the other minor league teams around here.

Who wants to go into DC to see a bunch of overpaid starlets, when you can see the real game for a fraction of the price, and in your own county?

Two teams in a population of 7 million only works if theyre both winning. Its Catch 22, you lose and your revenues drop, and then its hard to get out of the rut if the money's not there, etc. No more Tejadas and Javy Lopez's, Im afraid.
