BIG DAY FOR D.C. BASEBALL

The Showdown Begins – The Post
Angelos-MLB Discussions Not Progressing
It appears that Peter Angelo$ is going to be kicking and screaming like a spoiled child when baseball tells him that the Expos belong in Washington. Rather than taking this with dignity and working cooperatively with baseball to secure a deal to offset perceived loss of [...]

NEW EXPOS INFORMATION

D.C. Offers Waterfront Baseball Stadium – The Post
Sources Say Owners Will Support Moving Expos to Washington
Lots of details on the preferred ballpark site, which turns out to be in SE. I guess that would put it near the Navy Yard Metro (see graphic). M Street is already undergoing redevelopment, but the last time I drove [...]

WELCOME D.C. BASEBALL FANS

A big hello to new visitors to the site who may have found it from Ryan Moore’s excellent Distinguished Senators blog. I also have a static page about D.C. baseball with a “controversial” photo.

Some have said that Hal Bodley has been a [...]

IT IS GETTING SERIOUS

OKAY, HERE IS ONE EXPOS STORY

BAD DAY FOR THE EXPOS
Expos’ fate simmers on back burner – Rocky Mountain News
Okay, when he says “two-year trial”, that makes me very nervous.

Va. effort getting low on finances – The Times
This may lend some help to the DC cause, since DC is far and away the better site. And doesn’t Dulles already have one [...]

VIVA LAS VEGAS?
Vegas backers remain upbeat – Las Vegas Sun
Is it me, or are all the sites vying for the Expos putting on this convenient happy face? Norfolk continually claims that it has a better market for the Expos, and now Vegas joins the ranks. One Vegas proponent claims that the focus on DC/NoVa “does [...]

UH OH!
Owners: Let the bidding begin – The Times
Okay, this worries me–the idea of selling the team to the highest bidder rather than directly relocating it, thereby to stave off possible relocation to Washington. Don’t do it, Bud! Bring the Expos here!!!
