Orioles’ Angelos rebukes lawsuit

The Baltimore Orioles released a statement from Georgia Kousouris Angelos sternly rebuking the lawsuit that named both her and Orioles CEO John Angelos as defendants last week.

John Angelos is Georgia’s son. They were sued by his brother Lou Angelos, who claimed John had seized control of the Orioles at his expense and in defiance of the wishes of their father, Peter Angelos.

Peter Angelos became the Orioles owner in 1993. His public role has diminished in recent years and he turns 93 next month. Georgia Angelos appointed John chairman and CEO two years ago.

Etc.

Colorado Rockies setup man Tyler Kinley will likely miss the rest of the season with a flexor tear in his right pitching elbow. He’s scheduled to undergo a procedure soon and manager Bud Black did not rule out the need for Tommy John surgery.
