John Angelos’ one-on-one with The New York Times treads over mostly old ground, but sends some very dark messages about the future of the team. Why does the owner, who still hasn’t signed a long-term lease, insist on being a drag to what should be one of the feel-good stories in baseball?

Now we know why the lease deal at Camden Yards is being held up. CEO and Managing Partner John Angelos is scrounging for more money and land in any potential agreement. But this shameless shakedown ignores the money and support Orioles fans and Maryland taxpayers have given the franchise for years.

Exploring the depth and complexity of Afro Panamanian history and culture was a definite emotional highlight of my recent trip.
