The Nats Make Peter Angelos Even Filthier Rich All the Time
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011иконографияI think most of us knew this already, but a recent article in the NY Times on regional sports networks lays it bare:
Major League Baseball knew in 2004 that its plan to move the Montreal Expos to Washington, D.C., was angering Peter Angelos, the owner of the Baltimore Orioles. A personal injury lawyer known for [...]
DMV: MASN’s Next Rob Dibble Is Near
Thursday, January 6th, 2011MASN’s close to replacing Rob Dibble as “Ray Knight, F.P. Santangelo and Joe Magrane are among the candidates” to be the new Nats color guy. I’m unfamiliar with the other two, but I like Knight. Any would be an upgrade. [NatsTown]

Thomas Boswell: What Steve Carlton Was to Lefties, Rob Dibble Is to Idiots
Saturday, August 28th, 2010Just stumbled upon this excerpt from yesterday’s Washington Post chat (via Chris Needham):
Tommy John: Can we get that surgery performed on Rob Dibble’s mouth?
Thomas Boswell: One Nats exec, on hearing of the comments, called another Nats executive and just said one word, “Idiot.”
They both knew, with no names mentioned and no other context, what was [...]
Introducing the Bob & Rob Drinking Game
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010This isn’t the place to debate the merits of MASN’s Nats broadcasting duo of Bob Carpenter and Rob Dibble. Just know that we don’t like them, nor do a lot of D.C. sports fans, nor does GQ, apparently.
Here’s the thing though: We do like the Nats, and MASN has the games, so we’ll keep watching. [...]
Rob Dibble Is the Absolute Worst
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010Quote and screen cap from MASN’s broadcast of today’s Nats-Mets game:
“This is below the knees on Bernadina. It’s brutal. Brutal strike zone today. Here’s the pitch right here, below the strike zone.” — Rob Dibble
And lest you think we’re picking on Dibble by putting just one pitch under the microscope, not a game goes by [...]

Rob Dibble Breaks Out the Claws, Goes After ESPN’s Rob Neyer
Monday, June 8th, 2009Last week, Adam Dunn struck out looking with the bases loaded vs. Randy Johnson, who you may recall was going for win 300. It was obviously a huge play in a game that eventually led to Johnson reaching his historic milestone. Dibble took issue with the call, as you surely remember, saying, “You can’t just [...]
MASN’s Latest Attempt to Lure Nats Fans
Sunday, August 31st, 2008That would be Hall of Famer Don Sutton with the peace sign and eternal optimist Bob Carpenter with the come hither stare, both dressed as stereotypical 1960’s hippies on ’70’s Night at Nats Park. A for effort, F for historical accuracy and self respect.
League-worst TV ratings or not, that’s just depressing. But at least hardly [...]
