Misfocused

No wonder the Orioles can't get it together; Peter Angelos' head is in other matters:

Out to raise some cash for the Democratic Party, Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos is inviting select baseball fans — those with big wallets — to join him and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean in the owner's box at Camden Yards on Wednesday night, when the slumping Birds take on the New York Yankees.

Becoming a game "chair" will cost you $28,500; a "host" pays $5,000; or come as yourself for a mere $1,000.

Maybe if Angelos took some time off from being a Democratic Party hack and took some time to run his business, perhaps the business wouldn't be suffering so badly.

What's worse? What more cynical way to draw people to a fundraiser at Camden Yards than to make sure that the event is held when the Yankees are in town...

Then again, if he was that good at business, why would he be a Democrat?
