Rob,
You’re a new OFB reader — and welcome. Occasionally, we comment on the larger Washington sports scene to offer context for the Capitals’ standing in it. Orderedchaos is precisely correct; we’ve pilloried Angelos and Dan Snyder here so as to draw appreciation for what Caps’ fans have in Mr. Leonsis.

Think of it as another moment to be thankful for the Leonsis-led ownership of the Capitals, as opposed to the Orioles’. There but for the grace of [insert diety here] go we.

Well Atleast the Capitals are doing it the “old Oriole way” now. We don’t want any new bad habits.

As a lifelong Orioles fan and current Baltimore native, it has been painful to continue to cheer for them but hopefully the team sticks to its rebuilding process and before long can shock the league like the Devil Rays did this past season

As a native Marylander, I cannot deny that there’s a special place in my heart for that mis-managed losing franchise. At least the “Baltimore” is back, so they’ll look a little classier while getting pummeled.

I had a good chuckle this morning when I saw the ‘new’ logo. WOW. Angelos strikes again!
