Today's column is good, stabilizing and sobering. I particularly like the point he raises about the '09 team being what they should have been last year.
Mike Rizzo!

Barry's back on the beat
He really is a good writer, our Mr. Svrluga. Here's his story on the Dominican kid who will take down Trader Jim. BTW, looks like Rijo is a goner. One of the commenters over at Nats Journal referred to it as "Blame it on Rjo." If only Jimbo were as charming as Michael Caine.
It has begun...
'Nats v 'Stros. Spring training. And it's warm in DC. Looks like AK is volunteering to be the outfielder to be traded later by going 0 - 2 and stranding 5.

Fire him
Sports Illustrated story on the bonus skimming scandal.
He's got to go. I don't care if he's 100% innocent. This is too much of a distraction. It's bad for the team, the city and the fans. We need a(nother) CHANGE.

the natosphere
So we didn't make the cut for the WaPo's Nats Journal blog roll. The ink-stained wretches found us unworthy - I reckon because the sole reason for this blog is to bellyache. Anyway, here's the A-list of Nationals blogs according to one Chico Harlan. Funny, my porn first name is Chico. I wonder what the DC Sports Bog is? Redskins Park?

I Miss Aramark
Remember that final year at RFK? When you could get a hot dog and a beer with no waiting? OK, maybe a short wait if it was a 30K+ night, but it was negligible. And even then, there were always some go-to stands who had it down. Remember the lovely women who staffed the Guinness stand behind home plate? Ah, good times.
From WaPo's Nats Journal: New Vendor for Nats Park
So just when - we hope - last year's vendor had ironed out their kinks and were going to launch the new season running as a well oiled machine, they pull the plug. Ugh. Maybe they just don't want this blog to go away.
The company is Levy Restaurants. They do the food at Wrigley, Dodger, PNC and a few more. It's been ages since I was at Wrigley and was too engrossed in the "game" to pay attention to the food & beverage service so I open it up to the peanut gallery. Is this a good thing? Is it a sign to go with the Dunn signing that the Lerner's are starting to get it? Or is it as I fear, another service disaster to suffer through for an entire season?
