Boswell

Interesting column from Boswell re the Nationals and Orioles. His main point is that while the Nats have outperformed expectations and the future looks fairly bright, the Orioles are headed for another sub-.500 season and things look pretty bad for the foreseeable future.

This season has been great for the Nationals, so we're happy, but we think the season could have been so much more. And all of the uncertainty about the team and its ownership leaves us with more than a little anxiety about next season.

But, apparently, all of that pales in comparison to the anxiety of Orioles fans. We don't follow the Orioles, but we assume that Boswell is right. If so, given Peter Angelos' antagonism toward DC baseball, we have only one thing to say: it couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
