Giants vs. Dodgers.
Red Sox vs. Yankees.
Redskins vs. Cowboys.
Hillary vs. Barack.
Honest-to-goodness, rip-snorting rivalries can be found almost anywhere you look these days -- but Washington Nationals vs. Baltimore Orioles isn't among them.
Not yet.
Someday?
Maybe -- who knows?
On the RFK Stadium scoreboard before last night's initial 2007 meeting between the clubs, a gaudy logo insisted "Battle of the Beltway." Since only one interstate highway was cited, this presumably referred to the frequently agonizing commutes of motorists on either I-495 or I-695.
The baseball confrontation should have been labeled "Battle of the Parkway" because state road 295 is what directly links the nation's capital and Charm City. But no matter what it was called, the horsehide hassle seemed more like a mere skirmish -- one ultimately won by the Baltimore baddies 5-4. Be still, my heart!
