‘Bizarre’ camp concludes<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>

Nats’ Young Star Isn’t Kidding Around<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Dutch! is precocious. He had a great spring, other than fielding which he says he will take more seriously in the regular season. That is not what Frank Robinson<\/b> likes to hear from his rookies.<\/p>\n
Nats petition MLB for openers at home<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Hopefully MLB will let the Nats have their home opener on the first day of the season again and restore balance to the force.<\/p>\n
U.S. House To Discuss TV Dispute<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
This is probably a misuse of federal resources, but I am willing to over look that if they make Peter Angelo$<\/b> feel very uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

More from The Wash. Times<\/i>: Congress to query Comcast<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

THOMAS BOSWELL<\/b> – Rivals Share Common Enemy<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
The headline makes this column out to be something that it should be and scathing indictment of Angelo$ but is instead a wishy washy piece about how the O’s were allegedly special to Washingtonians. Nuts!<\/p>\n

Due to the ongoing malevolence that Angelo$ has demonstrated to Washington, anything associated with him is to be jeered at all occasions. D.C. should not subsidize Baltimore, period.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez And Ward Earn Spots<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
The roster breakdown. I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot better knowing Daryle Ward is on the team and Ryan Church is not.<\/p>\n
Emmis Considering Sports Beyond Washington Nationals<\/b><\/a> – Radio & Records<\/i>
If Jeff Smulyan<\/b> does not get the Nationals, he will look elsewhere for a sports team. Hat tip to DCRTV.com<\/b><\/a>…<\/p>\n
Washington Nationals announce 2006 promotional schedule<\/b><\/a> – nationals.com<\/i>
Like last year, the promotions are not much to speak of, just another shortcoming of MLB’s stewardship.<\/p>\n
