Welcome to the times, MASN.

According to my pals over at EngadgetHD, the morons at MASN have finally figured out what broadcasters in 28 other markets already knew — people want their sports in HD.

MASN will broadcast 40 O's games and 40 Nats games, sez the Washington Times. I'd like to think they heard my bitching about it, but I know I'm not the only one. (A number of people come to the site looking for MASN HD in Google.)

The schedule of HD games hasn't come out yet, but I know at least one I'll be seeing in Full HD - Opening Day.

Please MASN, Go HD For Me

Last night, I was watching a classic Orioles game — 1996, ALDS, O's vs. Cleveland, Game 4 — on MASN.

It was the Orioles' first playoff series in 13 years, and their first of two straight appearances in the ALCS.

Those were the days.

This year, I'm not expecting much out of the Orioles — especially with the O's three best players (Erik Bedard, Brian Roberts and Miguel Tejada) essentially gone.

But if there's one thing owner Peter Angelos can do for us lowly fans: please put MASN in high-definition.

It's despicable that the only teams to not have HD broadcasts are the O's, Nationals and Royals. Angelos has always treated our area like a second-tier market. It isn't.
