...Bob - Thanks for the idea! It was a fun project!<br /><br />Hooks - Whatever you think man...<br /><br />Michael - I saw a sporting goods store that had more Georgetown and GW gear (not to mention Redskins) than Nationals gear. I actually had to go IN the store to see Nats stuff. Crazy stuff. It's like baseball doesn't exist there.Angela Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132933906723358824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2126425429597637260.post-44445704201549223392010-05-19T09:36:29.933-05:002010-05-19T09:36:29.933-05:00To say that D.C. is apathetic about baseball is pu...To say that D.C. is apathetic about baseball is putting it mildly. The current mayor, Adrian Fenty, while on the D.C. City Council, was a staunch opponent of the publicly-funded stadium -- and he was right, considering the cost overruns. Even when the Nationals were a novelty playing at RFK, and in first place in May 2005, they couldn't draw big crowds. When the new ballpark opened, the Nationals still couldn't get fans to come to games.<br /><br />And then there's this pettiness: Red Nationals caps were a big turn-off with a large portion of the potential fan base. Why? Well, a red cap with a "W" on it reminded them of George W. Bush and red states. Stupid. Politics isn't everything.<br /><br />As far as rookie pitchers, if Jaime Garcia can duplicate Jered Weaver's 2006 numbers (11-2, 2.56, 1.03 WHIP), I think we'd all take that.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986170634083230747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2126425429597637260.post-19959903357559967982010-05-19T08:49:45.947-05:002010-05-19T08:49:45.947-05:00I failed math.
