Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand

Baseball will be played for the first time at Washington’s new stadium March 29, when the Nationals host the Baltimore Orioles in an exhibition game. Nationals’ executives announced the game yesterday and said that opening day could be as early as March 30, when the club hopes to host a nationally televised Sunday night game that would kick off the Major League Baseball season.
...
“We’re not only on time, we’re on budget,” said Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D).
...
ESPN and Major League Baseball are in discussions about the March 30 opener. “The Nationals are a strong possibility for this,” said a source with direct knowledge of the talks, who requested anonymity because the schedule hadn’t been finalized.
The March 29 Orioles exhibition game, which Nationals President Stan Kasten called a “dress rehearsal” for opening day, will be free for season ticket holders, but single tickets will not be available. Kasten said the team also would work with city officials to provide tickets for District youth groups and the stadium’s construction workers.

1. Jolly Old St. Neck Wound, Moral IdiotSort of picking up where we left off in the World Series. Good show!
Also, I haven't gotten my seating assignment yet - I hope they didn't screw me there too.
I expect that many of the seats for the opening game will not be available for the average Joe, and instead be given to lobbyists, presidential candidates, senators, representatives and general ass-kissers.
Lobbying regulations are a lot stricter now than they were even 3 years ago, so you don't see as much of that now... or at least it's driven to where it belongs: the shadows!
What cheeses me off is that jerkwad Tim Russert. He's got the seats right behind the home dugout and NEVER goes to the games, occasionally gracing the seats for about 3 innings on the occasional Sunday.
The more I see of the place, the less I like. It certainly has a particularly pedestrian view -- nothing beautiful like Pittsburgh or even Baltimore.
Hoo-ray! And kudos for remembering where my seats are ;-)
Now the question is, should i buy the parking...
Still, I look forward to checking the place out, if not to the parking and traffic nightmares. It's no closer to me in Mt. Airy than Camden, so I won't be venturing down there much.
