What a weekend for our Nationals! So many things happened with the biggest being MLB’s acceptance of the ballpark lease (The Post), with conditions of course, but surprisingly reasonable ones it would appear. The council needs to vote tomorrow to support the lease as is, and that is expected to happen; but as we all know, D.C. can always find a way to screw it up, just ask Marc Fisher. If they do botch it, hello arbitration.
A big picutre of Jack Evans is on The Wash. Times’ article. Balmer’s spin is covered by The Sun.
