A big project at work and illnesses at home (we’ll be fine) have cut into time for EVERYTHING this week, so I have not been keeping up with blogging. All I have to write about is Nats Blogger Day and a week at Disney World. In the meantime, I have a few observations about the [...]

The Washington Nationals head up to the wrong end of the B/W Parkway (that’s north nationals.com Nationals Enquirer) to face the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards for the final interleague series of the season. The good guys won the last series, held in Nationals Park, 2-1 when Josh Willingham hit a walk off homer in [...]

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Nationals Park has been open for over two seasons now, but yesterday was the first time my wife was able to see a game there. Her father (who has seen a game there) had been involved in the construction of the exterior walls, so the Washington Nationals is a source of [...]

Angelos says Nats’ success is good for O’s – The Sun
Failed baseball team owner and noted Baltimoron Peter Angelos has changed his tune about the Washington Nationals.
“What’s good for the Nationals is good for MASN,” Angelos said. “That makes me happy…

Single-game tickets to the Orioles are apparently on sale now. While it may be tempting to take in a Nationals road game 40 miles away, doing so says that you:
- agree that the Nats television rights should not belong to them
- did not think it was unfair that a vast majority of the Nats first [...]

He kept that Nats off of TV for their first two years and then put him on a substandard channel with an obvious bias [...]

Here is the lineup (courtesy of Nationals Journal) that the Nationals used yesterday in beating the hated, cowardly, subsidized Orioles:
Bernadina – 8Guzman – 2Dukes – 9Boone – 3Casto – 5Pena – 7Harris – 4Nieves – 2Bergmann – 1
That is pretty far from a murderous row isn’t it? Yet, despite such an uninspiring lineup, the [...]

Starting tomorrow night, the Nats face off against the hated Orioles owned by the villainous Peter Angelo$, the guy who voted against the team being here, was undeservingly given 90% of the Nationals TV rights by MLB and then kept the Nats off of TV for almost two years. Rather than rehash all the [...]
