[DC Baseball] Stupid, Fat Woman single-handedly kills the Capitol's bid for Expos

smokey. well the three cities larger than us all have 2 teams in the area.. go ahead and give us another team

 

did they not change the name already for the team? even colors were changed and such? what a waste of money and makes MLB look like fools

 

How about this., . . . do like Green Bay
just buy the d*mn team

Rocket River

 

Somewhere Peter Angelos just wet himself with glee

Your momma so fat she counts as ten votes.

Your momma so skanky she screwed the entire MLB.

 

Now what?? - They aren't gonna play in Montreal?

AP-Expos-Washington

Nationals stop work in Washington

NEW YORK (AP) -- Baseball's chief operating officer says business
and promotional activities of the Washington-bound Expos will cease
until further notice.
Bob DuPuy says fans who bought tickets to watch the renamed
Nationals next season at R-F-K Stadium can get refunds.
Washington may not get a major league baseball team.
The proposed move of the Montreal Expos to the nation's capital
is close to falling through after the District of Columbia Council
amended legislation to require private financing for at least half
the cost of building a new stadium. That provision is not contained
in an agreement the city signed with baseball in September.

 

certainly its within their rights to do this, but its pretty bush league. especially if the city signed an agreement in september that didn't include this.

give the team to a city that really wants it like vegas.

 

Pink is really her color!

 

I don't know the details of this deal, but just because a deal is subsidized with public funds (which apparently was what Crapp had a problem with) doesn't mean that it sucks.

If it is a net gain for the city... i.e. areas are revitalized ... net income is increased for the municipality...then it's a good thing.

It's really a simple concept, yet some are so anti-corporate anything that they cannot comprehend it.

 

Looks like she is posing for a Layne Bryant ad.

 

Holy crap, I was watching a rerun of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" on some random channel last night. They showed the episode where the Banks family went on the Oprah show and Will wasn't invited, so he showed up in the audience. Well I swear to god that Oprah was wearing a purple version of this EXACT ensemble!

 

Why are people bashing MLB on this? They have NO OBLIGATION to put a team in DC. They gave DC the OPPORTUNITY to have a team.

If you are MLB and they tell you that they'll take your team if you pay 150,000,000 for a stadium or you could go to Portland, Norfolk, or Las Vegas where they will roll out the red carpet for you and pay for a brand new stadium entirely, where are you going to go?

Sports teams bring a lot of money into a city and each city has to decide if its worth it to pay for a nice place for that team to play. DC didn't and that is fine. MLB will just move on. No reason to bash them.

 

I'm not understanding what her weight has to do with anything?

 

Tim Kurkijian (or however you spell his name) said on Sportscenter this morning and rather emphatically that Washington will get this done and keep the Nationals past the 2005 season.

 

Monkeys Fling Poo Rule #1
When flinging poo at someone, fling poo without regard to reason.

 

They did want the Expos. Be interesting if they were able to land the team after all. But Portland more than perhaps any other city needs a new stadium NOW if it wants MLB. Currently the only outdoor stadium in town is Civic Stadium, which if memory serves correct only seats 17,000 people. I think the Rose Garden has a bigger capacity than that.

 

Oski that is painful to look at. Urghhhh
