Jim Williams: Nationals may be in line for bigger TV deal – The Wash. Examiner
Every five years, the Washington Nationals get to review the deal (*cough* corrupt bargain) they have with MASN, the cable channel that is owned by the Baltimore Orioles/Peter Angelos. My objections to the arrangement both historically and currently are well established, [...]
We don’t know how much change we’ll see in media covering the Washington Nationals in 2012, but there is now an official departure. Ben Goessling will be leaving MASN to go back to his hometown paper, the Pioneer-Press in St. Paul to cover the Minnesota Twins. I haven’t read him regularly since he moved to [...]
Chien Ming Wang will return to the Washington Nationals with a 1 year deal (press release), his third contract with the Nats. He originally signed in 2010, but missed the whole season rehabbing from surgery for a torn shoulder capsule. He finally pitched last summer and performed well enough for both parties to want him [...]
Rooting Interests: Who are D.C. fans? – The Post
The Post did a survey on Washington D.C. sports fans attitudes, favorite teams/owners, etc. recently. It mostly confirms what we already know about D.C. area fans:
“Washington fans are really a wonderful blend of the best parts of Northern tier fans and Sun Belt fans,” former Washington Nationals [...]
I predicted Davey Johnson would be the Washington Nationals manager as far back as 2006. I figured it would be for 2007 though. So, I was off by 4 years…
Johnson coming back was a foregone conclusion the moment he signed on after Jim Riggleman resigned. He’s talking big already — the 2012 pennant? Creating expectations [...]
HELLER: Rooting against the Rangers just feels right – The Wash. Times
While I disagree with Dick Heller forgiving Calvin Griffith moving the original Washington Senators, I continue to be on board with Heller rooting against the Texas Rangers. It is just the right thing for a Washingtonian to do. The Rangers exist not because Washington [...]
Today the Washington Nationals announced that they will be hosting the Boston Red Sox in an Nationals Park exhibition game on Tuesday, April 2, 2012. The two teams also play a 3 game series in Fenway Park June 8-10.
An unprecedented era of success and competence and championships and gave birth to the REDSAWXNATION and legions [...]
Nats hire media consultant to improve MASN deal – Nationals Journal, The Post
Every five years, the Washington Nationals get to renegotiate their “deal” with MASN, the subpar cable channel they are forced to be on because Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos is a coward. As you may recall, Angelos voted against D.C. getting a baseball [...]
Remember when I included the new Miami Marlins cap logo for 2012 in my penultimate Nats game post last week? That was VERY popular with the search engines. It turns out, things will be ever worse at the Marlins new Miami ballpark. Go to The New Miami Marlins Logo Is No Longer The Worst Thing [...]
The 2011 Washington Nationals season is over and I miss it. Part of what I miss about the near-daily experience of following the Nats is the radio team of Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler. Last Wednesday, I was quite grateful to have them as I got stuck working late before driving up to Pennsylvania. I [...]
