    Would Orioles fans trade Camden Yards right now, to be replaced with an exactly average stadium, for a legit top 10 MLB owner?

    I'd like to keep CY, but I'd trade the Ravens (and the Super Bowl win) right back out of town.

  • Nats predictions time.

    This is my favorite Zuckerman item of every year, where all the Nats media guys predict things. We'll answer the same questions and see how we match up. I'll keep track and the winner will win a prize of some sort. Nothing extravagant, but something cool.

    The O's fans who lurk here can feel free to partake. One of them will probably win since they can look rationally.

    We're going off this: http://www.natsinsider.com/2012/04/2012-media-predictions.html

    Questions:

    1. Who will represent the Nats at the All-Star Game?
    2. What will total home attendance be?
    3. When will Bryce Harper make his MLB debut?
    4. How many home runs will Harper hit in the majors this season?
    5. How many strikeouts will Stephen Strasburg record?
    6. What will Jayson Werth's batting average be?
    7. How many home runs will Michael Morse hit?
    8. What will Ian Desmond's on-base percentage be?
    9. How many games will Adam LaRoche play for the Nationals?
    10. Who will lead the pitching staff in wins? How many?
    11. How many games will Drew Storen save?
    12. How many games will the Nats win?

  • Lerners will push for a series that isn't selling for Harpers debut. Yanks are selling out regardless.

  • Why would anyone think we're going to get more than 28,000 per game?

  • How any so-called Maryland fan could dislike the Nats with HOF Johnny Holliday on the post-game show is beyond me.

  • I'm such a stat whore.

    I 100% would rather lose a game where Strasburg gives up only 1 run in 7 innings than win one where he gives up 5 runs. Same goes for Zimmerman hitting 2 homers vs going 0-3.

    Chip Kelly --> NFL --> Fired --> Maryland

    screw him and his bloody sock.

    if strasburg pitched for the phillies/red sox, they are praising his delivery.
