[edit] This is not a rivalry=

Sorry, there is no rivalry here. No dramatic playoff game, no divisional races, no fights. They aren't even in the same league. Plus both teams suck. The only reason rivalry gets mentioned is because it's publicized as such. It only exists in the minds of sports writers and peter angelos. The fact that this has a page and the Yankees/Orioles rivalry doesnt is retarded. I move to have this fake rivalry page deleted.

[edit] Controversy

I condensed the stuff about the Orioles' opposition to the Expos' move. I moved some of it to Washington Nationals, where it is more appropriate.

I tried to objectively describe the subjective reasons for Nats fans' dislike of Angelos and the Orioles. If I were going to be subjective in this section, I'd've said that the Orioles are more concerned with the Yankees and Red Sox, and that the Orioles fans aren't real fond of Angelos themselves. :)

Finally, I took out the references to the Redskins and Ravens. I think the NFL and MLB are different enough that you would need to make the case that NFL franchise moves are comparable to MLB franchise moves.

[edit] Maryland's team

Actually, after the Colts left, JKC tried to make the skins "Maryland's" team. He wasnt as vocal as Angelos
