D.C. Baseball Stadium Cost Could Exceed $700 Million<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
I’d say this is just a tad more than they had originally thought, but takes into account parking, Metro, and road improvements around the SE site. While Natwar Gandhi<\/b> says that the numbers are by no means final, and while Jack Evans<\/b> says that the $535 million agreed to last year is what they’re sticking to, I can still hear the anti-baseball council members just licking their lips right now, which might be why Mr. Anti-Baseball himself, David Catania<\/b>, is chiming in with “emergency legislation”.<\/p>\n

More from The Wash. Times<\/i>: D.C. re-evaluates ballpark figure for higher costs<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Local Leaders Weigh In on Baseball’s Future in D.C.<\/b><\/a> – WTOP News<\/i>
This article’s a few days old, but it’s sort of a “he said\/she said” on the ballpark options between Tony Williams<\/b> and Linda Cropp<\/b>. (Though I hate how they introduce the article as now fearing we’ll lose the team.)<\/p>\n

Nats making pitch for Burnett<\/b><\/a> – The Times<\/i>
The Nats move ahead in trying to acquire new muscle, despite no owner and no stadium deal yet. I’m actually surprised that Jim Bowden<\/b> is making such moves, being that he’s making no secret about applying for GM jobs elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Lions’ fans rush to make travel plans for Miami<\/b><\/a> – The Patriot-News<\/i>
Penn State fans are already heading south for the winter. One of these days I’ll get to a bowl game–or even an away game, for the matter.<\/p>\n

Frankly, PSU wanted more<\/b><\/a> – The Patriot-News<\/i>
I generally don’t take Dave Jones<\/b> too seriously, as he’s always been something of a Penn State kill-joy. To be perfectly frank myself<\/i>, I’m pleased with FSU as our bowl opponent. I can’t stand that stupid-sounding tomahawk chop (it sounds even worse in an Atlanta Braves ballpark), and if JoePa<\/b> can get one more win over Bobby Bowden’s<\/b> record, then I’m all for this matchup.<\/p>\n

Lions’ Hali named AFCA All-American<\/b><\/a> – The Patriot-News<\/i>
Defensive end Tamba Hali<\/b> goes All-American!!!<\/p>\n
