Kasten was largely non-committal about everything other than not planning on going hard for free agents which makes people wonder how he will raise payroll like he promised. He was also not giving numbers on how many season tickets have been sold for next year or if the ballpark will have its corporate name by Opening Day. Frankly, this all strikes me as a little grim. &#8220;Do not for a minute think I&#8217;m happy with where we are,&#8221; Kasten said. &#8220;We have very far yet to go. We absolutely do. We recognize that more than anyone.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Kasten was on <a href=\"http:\/\/specials.washingtonpost.com\/nationals\/podcasts\/washington-post-live\/2007\/sep\/19\/stan-kasten-rfk\/video\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Washington Post Live<\/span><\/a> last night after some technical problems.
