Many of us Nats fans were strong supporters of the birds to the north before 2005. For some of us it was a bitter split when the district finally got our own team. Peter Angelos did everything in his power to keep our right of baseball away from us, and when it finally got here he made it almost impossible for us to enjoy it by buying out the broadcast rights.
When MLB approved the move of the Montreal Expos to D.C many anticipated a sort of turf war. However in the last three years it seems both clubs have been too apathetic to fight for fans within the beltway. It appears though that with the birth of Nationals Park the Nats may be making the first strike today as they sent Screech and the racing presidents up to the inner harbor today to make friends of enemies and perhaps build a new fan base?

Broadcasting fun
Because both teams broadcasting rights are owned and operated by MASN, the two’s broadcast teams will alternate giving fans of Baltimore a taste of the Nats and vice versa. This will go on throughout the six game season long series and may include mixing and matching of broadcasters in different teams.
