Naturally I missed Mayor Tony Williams noon ballpark rally, because I work in Tysons. Thankfully, Metroblogging DC captain Tom Bridge works downtown and reported from the rally. He indicated that people supporting the project far outnumbered those oppossed to it. Great work Tom!

In an interesting turn of events, DCist has posted an Opinionist piece by Vincent Morris, the mayor’s spokesman, called Approve the Lease Already! Not surprisingly David Cantiana (I-At Large) has the counterpoint. Good job by DCist getting these two to go on the record.

Morris makes some excellent points as he breaks down the costs. Cantiana says the team could move to Virginia in ten years.

Lastly, another Williams — Jim Williams of The Wash. Examiner has a column in today’s edition about the ballpark. He predicts an 8 – 5 win for the ballpark, which scares me to no end, since Williams is rarely right.
