TARA 5 WHITE HOUSE 4<\/h4>\n

Unable to Hold Late Lead, Nationals Drop the Game<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
The Nats really could have used this one, they were winning in the eighth, but reliever Hector Carrasco<\/b> gave up a double and a homer with 2 outs. He then walked Julio Franco<\/b>. T.J. Tucker<\/b> came in and gave up a the deciding run.<\/p>\n

Soros Joins Ledecky’s Bid For Nationals<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
You may recall George Soros<\/b> from last year’s presidential election. He is a billionaire liberal activist who spent a lot of money to unseat President Bush. The Post<\/i> does not mention this fact, only pointing out his efforts to spread democracy abroad. The Wash. Times<\/i> does mention it<\/b><\/a> and suggests that his presence may not go over well with the mostly conservative MLB ownership. Also, The Post<\/i> suggests that Stan Kasten<\/b> is still putting together a bid, but The Wash. Times<\/i> reports that he is looking to join one of the existing groups. WWN<\/i> reported on April 21<\/b><\/a> that Washington Baseball Club<\/b> (Malek group) was looking into starting negotiations with Kasten.<\/p>\n
Robinson dislikes boos of Guzman<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
I dislike Cristian Guzman<\/b> getting booed too, but until he gets his average well over .200, it is going to happen because he deserves it. Nobody needs to apologize for booing a sub-Mendoza line player making $4 million.<\/p>\n

Jim Bowden<\/b> – Managing the issues: Nationals GM Jim Bowden<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Examiner<\/i>
The weekly GM column (as told to John Keim) focuses on the upcoming draft and Scott Boras<\/b>.<\/p>\n
RFK food vendor comes under heavy fire<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Nobody is happy with the Aramark concessions right now, including Mayor Tony Williams. The good news is that more choices may be arriving in time for the next homestand, as well as more vendors in the upper deck. In my Grading RFK<\/b><\/a> post, I gave the concessions 2 out of 5. I may have been too generous.<\/p>\n

Also, the Anacostia waterfront park would face north to showcase the Capitol.<\/p>\n
