I'm definitely in that camp. Waaay before any of this "stuff" surfaced.
I don't dislike Carpenter but, wouldn't be heartbroken to see him retire ASAP. Washington, as a city/metro area, should be able to do far better. If Bmore was able to once sign a Jon Miller and a Gary Thorne, we should be able to hire at that level too.
Same here. I know most of you folks dislike the Orioles because of their owner, but I still root for them and watch the broadcasts. That small/medium sized market team has an excellent tag team of color analysts -- Jim Palmer and Ben McDonald. The contrast with what we have is stark.
