It's obvious that it hurts.
Baltimore is no longer a major league town.
It is difficult to argue the economics. This once proud franchise can't sustain a winning situation because of it. It just can't compete anymore
As we speak over full control of the team, there is a feud going on with the Angelos family.
John would consider moving the team to Tennessee if he gained full control, according to the lawsuit.
John and his wife have a home there with a Nashville-based entertainment company.
John made a statement on Monday denying the claims. There was nothing left to wiggle. The team will stay in Baltimore.
It's nice. O's fans had to breathe easier after that.
Those are meaningless words. The Orioles are no longer viable in that town.
They can't win a competition. It won't change anytime soon.
The O's were valued at over $1 billion and had operating income of $82 million.
National TV money is one of the reasons the O's survive. Each team will get at least $100 million before they sell a single ticket.
Most of the bottom-feeding franchises pocket the loot and don't spend it on talent. What's the point?
There is a chance that Baltimore could lose its baseball team. At the end of next year, the O's lease with Maryland Stadium Authority will end. There have been talks but no extension. The rumors about an O's exit have been going on for a long time.
There is a great tradition of the O's. We know what it's like.
It would be terrible to see Baltimore without a baseball team. There was a reason for the game to want a franchise in the capital.
The Washington Nationals are a baseball team. They won a World Series after moving from Montreal.
The O's are last in the American League East. Since 1983, they have been to the playoffs just five times. It was the last year.
The O's have the lowest payroll in baseball. The payroll was about $24 million at the start of the year. The Los Angeles Dodgers have the largest payroll.
The Oakland A's are rumored to be moving to Las Vegas. Do you think about this? The A's payroll is $5 million more than the O's and they are prepared to bounce.
The Baltimore Orioles have won three World Series. The last time they won was back in 1983.
You can't live in the past and think things are the same. From 1972 to 1974 the Oakland A's won three straight World Series. They've had more success in the playoffs than Baltimore. They don't get anyone to come to their games.
The Baltimore Ravens were stung by the Colts bolting for Indianapolis in 1984. The Baltimore Colts are considered to be one of the greatest teams in the history of the National Football League. They were taken away by Robert Irsay.
MLB has been consistent in keeping teams in place, unlike the NFL, which has seen teams go up and down. In the past 50 years, only one team has moved. The expos moved from Montreal to D. C.
That is an accomplishment. Baseball has been stable for a long time.
The ballpark is beautiful. I like the current 30 MLB stadiums the best. There are good seats in the place. It is small and close to one another.
The team isn't good enough for anyone to go. They had an average of just 10,000 fans and a total of 783,000 people attend games there. The ranking was 26th.
If MLB were truly honest with itself, it would lop off at least four teams and get back to 24 teams.
The league could easily get rid of Miami, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Baltimore.
People don't want to hear it. Baltimore is no longer a major league city. The moving vans will come back soon. It's just a matter of waiting and seeing.
