I’m sure this isn’t exactly the right place to post this, but you don’t have a myspace. This song’s been stuck to me for a few days now and I thought of you…

Ah yes, well–an interesting question.

You might say “Nationals Park” is set in stone in the hearts of fans. The Nationals are looking for a naming-rights sponsor. But if they do well this year and draw big crowds, all of whom get used to calling it “Nationals Park,” then that’s what it’ll be for a long time.

It’ll probably end up being something like “Acme Field at Nationals Park.” Fill in the blank for “Acme.” Some people are suggesting Geico Insurance might have a good shot at it. It’ll be whatever corporation wants to pony up multiple millions a year.

Good pictures–I can’t wait to come to a game. Is the name Nationals Park set in stone, or are they waiting around for some kind of sponsor?

A baseball correction: the Orioles actually beat the Nats 11-3 on Sunday, not 8-2 as I more optimistically reported.

It’s my understanding that Lasorda was filling in for Joe Torre because Torre took some of the Dodgers to China for some exhibiton games. According to the ESPN broadcast of the Nats vs Tigers game, Monday March 17 was the last Dodger spring training game in Vero Beach. They’re moving to a new spring training facility in Arizona next year.

Hey Dave,

good to see you posting in your blog again. Too bad you couldn’t see the whole game, but two innings is better than nothing and you sure look happy in the picture.

Cheers,

Anne

Comment on “I know, right?” by Dave

Yeah, see? (Or I could even say, “I know, right?”)

It’s very hard to get away from these things–even though they drive us up a wall sometimes!

Heh, well, I guess I can’t argue with that. Oh, now I’m doing it. I mean, I really could argue if I tried…I give up.

In my office I’m starting to hear the girls say “Yeah, right?” as often as “I know, right?”
