Thomas Boswell<\/b> – Time for Frank Talk About the Ballpark<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
\n
Long time baseball cheerleader Tom Boswell<\/strong> weighs the pros and cons of building the ballpark. Guess which side he chooses?<\/p>\n

Expos Land C. Guzman, Castilla<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
\n
GM Jim Bowden is already very busy and not everyone is real happy<\/b><\/a> about it. The seemingly universal agreement in blog land is that the Nats need to build a farm system, not acquire B-level stars. Also, as reported in the next article, skipper Frank Robinson<\/strong> will return.
\n
More from The Wash. Times<\/em>: Castilla, Guzman signed by club<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n
Closing Down Shop in Montreal<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
\n
A look at what is happening in the Nats former city. I think we would have all preferred an expansion team, but I still do not feel guilty, nor should you.<\/p>\n
Tom Knott<\/b> – Surprise! D.C. gets it wrong<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
\n
I almost hate to say it, but Tom Knott<\/strong> is absolutely right. He goes off on the “intellectually dishonest, think of the children” crowd.<\/p>\n
First ballpark vote slated for Nov. 30<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
\n
Not as early as we would like, but it is expected to pass with 9 to 10 votes, which would feel good. This will mean that the final vote would be after December 13, leaving 17 days to meet the deadline. Looks like it will happen, but only by a hair.<\/p>\n

PATERNO PRESS CONFERENCE<\/h2>\n

Coach Joe Paterno Press Conference from November 16, 2004<\/b><\/a> – goPSUsports.com<\/i>
\n
The Post-Gazette<\/i> did not post the transcript, so this one may be edited.<\/p>\n


\n
Paterno: Nittany Lions will stick to principles in recruiting<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i>
\n
Amen to that, doing it with integrity keeps us from having a Maurice Clarett<\/strong> situation. The Patriot-News<\/em> has more<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n
Guman returning from injury<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i>
\n
I am happy to see that Andrew Guman<\/strong> is coming back for Senior Day. We used to have a whole team of Andrew Gumans; solid player who never makes mistakes, plays above his physical ability, and does well in the classroom. He will be missed.<\/p>\n
Paterno: Spartans best in conference<\/b><\/a> – The Collegian<\/i>
\n
What a shocker<\/i> — Paterno thinks the next team they play is the best they will face all year.<\/p>\n
King: PSU’s tradition still sells<\/b><\/a> – Post-Gazette<\/i>
\n
Nice to hear that from an incoming uber-recruit.<\/p>\n
‘Code Blue’ declared for final PSU contest<\/b><\/a> – The Collegian<\/i>
\n
Well, I suppose it will be a stretch, but I guess I can wear blue on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
