Baseball’s Best Bet

This morning’s Washington Post has the results of a new poll that say DC is better than Northern Virginia for a new baseball team. To me, this is like saying “Sun rises in the East again” or “water is, in fact, wet.” For a season and change I commuted to Baltimore after work, sitting in hideous traffic, waiting to get to the ballpark, only to miss the lineups and part of the first innings. I couldn’t do it. It was awful. Now we’re thinking about putting a team at the end of the Dulles Toll Road? Are you out of your mind? If you thought DTR traffic was bad before, this’ll only make it worse. Hell, there’s no Metro out there!
Bring the team to DC. Let them play at RFK while you build a new downtown Stadium at New York Ave. It will be glorious. We’ll have yet another craptacular DC sports team!

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
