Go Suck An Egg, Orioles

I wholeheartedly endorse Tom Friend's screed against the efforts by the Baltimore Orioles to prevent DC from gaining the Montreal Expos. If there's one thing I need, it's another bad DC area sports team to abuse.

Jokes aside, is there anything more pathetic than baseball's inability to re-locate the Expos? The integrity of the game is such an issue that they leave Pete Rose suspended indefinitely, but no one cares about the fact that Major League Baseball is operating one of the franchises itself, which basically allows owners of competing teams to influence every decision the Expos make. We won't even get into the integrity issue of Bud Selig serving as commissioner while he still basically owns the Brewers (right, his daughter owns them).
