Nationals seek to make up for lost time<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
\n
The rush to get things in order for April 4 is on. They have to get RFK into playing shape, get a broadcast deal, find major sponsors and figure out the traveling for this season.<\/p>\n

Now it really gets tough<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
\n
More on the transformation of RFK into a MLB worthy facility. It is going to come down to the wire.<\/p>\n

Nat-tily Attired<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
\n
Here are some graphics of the uniforms, including the numbers that we do not see on the ones in the online store. I am not crazy about them, they are nothing special, but they are not terrible either. The important thing is we have a blue hat for road games. I wonder how long until it becomes the regular hat.

It might even, we’d hope, overcome some of the distrust and division between city and suburb that marred this month’s arguments over the stadium<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ha! How can The Post<\/i> be so naive? D.C. residents love to find something to be upset about and all these suburbanites and their money means gentrification, if only for three hours a night.<\/p>\n

HUGE RECRUITING COUP FOR NITS<\/h2>\n

And the Winner Is . . .<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
\n
After a Long, Arduous Recruitment, E. Roosevelt Star Chooses Penn St.<\/b>
\n
I do not get into recruiting for a number of reasons. One, I have interests other than Penn State football (and hard to believe, they include more than just the Nats too). People who get into recruiting are the same people who can only find games interesting if they have money on them. I say, if you have to do that to make it interesting, why not do something else? Anyhow, the biggest reason I do not get into recruiting is because it is ultimately a crapshoot on whether all of these “can’t miss” phenoms ever play meaningful football. So many things can happen that get in the way. If you really want some insight, read Ken Denlinger’s<\/b> “For the Glory.” He is\/was a Post<\/i> sportswriter who was given complete access to Penn State’s football program, starting with the freshman class of 1988. He is also a PSU grad — ’64 journalism, I think. All of this being said, it does look good for Penn State that top recruits still think it is a special program.<\/p>\n
