All things considered, I think this is a good thing. Good for D.C. fans who deserve a team if they will support it, and I believe they will. Good for Oriole fans, (read me), because it may force Angelos to put a competitive product on the field.
There is a reason monopolies are discouraged. For too long the Orioles have had a huge market to themselves, providing no incentive to field a decent team.Witness eight consecutive losing seasons from a once dominant team.
When you are the only game in town people have no choice. Now it becomes a battle for the intermediate market, and the only way to win that battle is to have the more desirable product. I think there is plenty of consumer money in the Md., Vir., markets to support two teams. So I say bring on the Senators. If nothing else it will give me another D.C. team to root against besides the Deadskins.
