That was the final vote today as Major League Baseball's owners approved the relocation of the Montreal Expos to Washington, D.C.

The lone dissenting voice? According to confidential sources, it's Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos, a man who has yet to reach an agreement with his fellow owners over a financial compensation package meant to placate him for "losing" his unfettered access to Washington baseball fans.

Will we get a lawsuit meant to block the Nationals from taking the field next April? Will the D.C. City Council give final approval to the stadium financing plan? And will MLB not raise a stink about any of the amendments to the agreement they thought they had with the city? Stay tuned . . .
