    We are all highly anticipating the arrival of our star prospect that isn't slugging .300 in AAA.

    That should have been a no-hitter. Alot of people thought that Ricky Gutierrez "hit" should have been ruled an error. It was close

    Just to nit-pick a little...it was Wood's 5 start, not his debut.

    I used to hang around there b/c of friends in the neighborhood. I wonder how far along the city is in deghettofying the area...moving out poor folks and building towncenter type stuff. I stopped hanging around after they tore down the Wendy's!

    I'm pretty much exclusively a Caps fan when it comes to D.C. sports but was a huge Redskins fan growing up. I've lost interest in them and football, in general, over the years for some reason.

    I spent the vast majority of my life in the D.C. area but my father was all about Cleveland sports, other than being a lifelong Caps fan, so I have always followed the Indians and Browns.

    For me, these are my teams in order of preference (and my favorite sports in order of preference), not that anybody cares...

    NHL: Caps (never even cared about another team, been a fan for almost 30 years now)
    NBA: Rockets (followed the Bullets briefly 20 or so years ago)
    MLB: Indians and Astros (1a and 1b), Orioles
    NFL: Redskins, Browns, Texans (not that into football in general)

    they've done a decent job. still don't wanna be walking down the street heading east a few blocks, though. But they've put up some high rises right around the stadium, and more are going up. I almost bought one (unit) 2 years ago

    The 7/11 at 395 / South Capitol is still pretty ghetto...but it was good for slurpie breaks from work haha

    But up by the stadium, you can definitely walk around. They've put in a few nice restaurants...plus there's a starbucks, a subway, a five guys...and the DoT cafeteria is nice surprisingly
