Jageler to Replace Shea in Nats’ Booth – The Post
While we already know that Dave Shea is being replaced by Dave Jageler in the radio booth, but news that Charlie Slowes may be splitting time between radio and TV is new. I am not a big fan of that kind of arrangement, except in the case of old Cubs broadcasts when Harry Caray would do the first three innings on WGN-TV then head over to WGN radio and come back completely loaded for this last three innings. Somehow, I don’t think if Charlie started indulging in Budweiser as much as Harry, he would be as endearing.
Also, Rob Dibble is being mentioned as an analyst, which would prove that MLB is determined to alienate everybody in every way possible so that they could move or contract the Nats.

PHIL WOOD – Don’t slam Sammy if Sosa signs – The Wash. Examiner
Wood makes the case for Sammy Sosa, but I’m not buying it. Good try though.
Stadium concessions, consensus elusive – The Wash. Times
First, a tip of the Nats hat to District of Baseball for finding this article about the council and the ballpark. Carol Schwartz is indicating potential flexibility, while Vincent Orange is praising the upside of the ballpark for “the next mayor.” Marion Barry’s position has not changed either.
