THE DISTRICT OF THE BALLPARK<\/h2>\n

D.C. Seeks to Buy Land for ‘Ballpark District’<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
With several lawsuits seeking to block the stadium’s land acquisition now dismissed, DC is now looking more intensely at the ballpark design and what kind of venue to create. To wit, five acres of additional land that could host restaurants, stores, etc. on top of the Nationals’ new ballpark. Sounds like a plan to me! Even better, it has Linda Cropp’s<\/b> backing!<\/p>\n

Sinking out of sight<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
The opening paragraph about spells out the Nats’ chances of making the playoffs this season. Me, I’m as disappointed as everyone else that we’ve fallen apart halfway through the season, but I’m still very happy that the Nats are here, and my own expectations for their inaugural season didn’t include a playoff spot.<\/p>\n

Starting With a Bang!<\/b><\/a> – The CityPaper<\/i>
Bang, zoom? Lately my<\/i> catchphrase (when you consider our losses) has been “Doh!”<\/p>\n

Palmeiro back to a game in crisis of faith<\/b><\/a> – Baltimore Sun<\/i>
For those following Raffy’s<\/b> steroid scandal. Will fans accept him back? That’s the question I’d like answered.<\/p>\n
