I Was Quite Content To Take Your Side Until I Remembered How Dumb You Are

(I meant to post something along these lines this morning and then totally forgot, so better late than never, or something…)
The Washington Post:
Fed up with the Nationals’ failure to pay $3.5 million in rent, eight D.C. Council members proposed legislation this week to capture more revenue another way: increasing the sales tax by 5 percent [...]
Fan “Satisfaction”
Posted on July 7, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under Nationals Park, Washington Nationals, baseball | 2 Comments
Nats beat writer Chico Harlan is conducting an informal mid-season poll of his readers at Nationals Journal. I thought it might be a worthwhile (ie, time-killing) exercise for me to answer the questions here. Five topics will be covered over the next five days.
Today, we start with “Tickets and Business”. The questions and my answers [...]
When You Pay Up For A Legitimate Starting Pitcher Or Two, Then We’ll Talk About Giving You More Money

In Which I Spend Way Too Much Time Demonstrating A Rather Uninteresting Point

The City Paper has long been less than friendly towards the deal that got Nationals Park built, so I wasn’t surprised to see City Desk gloat over the Post’s architecture critic panning the stadium. I am a bit surprised, however, to see that the person doing the panning has either no concept of distance or [...]
Dumbest Duo In Broadcasting History
Posted on March 31, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under George W Bush, Joe Morgan, Nationals Park, Washington Nationals, baseball | Leave a Comment
ESPN managed to not only find a man less intellectually curious than Joe Morgan, but put the two in the broadcasting booth together for a solid two innings of nonsensical ignorance! All hail our glorious president!
Here, try to take your mind off the headache with another look at Zimmy breaking in the park in style:

You walk directly from the entrance into the promenade behind the outfield, so the field itself is directly in front of you with the stadium rising all around.

Who knew the Post had increased its newsstand price by $.15? Anyway, check out today’s paper for an excellent supplemental section containing everything you want to know about the new stadium. I think the articles are available on the website, but you might not get all of the cool cross-sections of the stadium, little fact [...]
