I think game 5 of the NLDS was #2. :-(<br /><br />baseballswami said...<br /><br /> So MLB is doing this top ten games Of 2012. It would appear that we are making three appearances--- out of ten. Two meltdowns- HRod va the Dodgers andd that dark Friday night vs the Braves. It's painful to recall. I think perhaps Jayson's walk off will be in the top three. So far, if you didn't know how many wins we ended up with, we would just look embarrassing. I hope those games were valuable lessons.<br /> December 14, 2012 9:40 PM natsfan1ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540238101124316529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-15889090577230606192012-12-15T11:48:47.617-05:002012-12-15T11:48:47.617-05:00New postNew postMicheleShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972863154063796569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-47950863048493195582012-12-15T11:34:02.788-05:002012-12-15T11:34:02.788-05:00Team all around us keep adding parts.....Rizzo kee...Team all around us keep adding parts.....Rizzo keeps saving money....hope he has a plan for a LH bat, Gold Glove 1B Defense, LH Pen Set up and Depth, Starter Depth and Closer Experience....Every other team has helped themselves....Dodger, Phils, Reds, ATL, SFO in NL and Clearly LAA, NYY, Tigers all have improved.............<br /><br />Nats in my view as currently signed up....a step or even two backwards.

Based on Nats' equity position of ten percent, that suggests MASN cash flow (cash available for distribution to partners) was around $80MM. One way to look at that is that MASN cash (rights fee same as Nats, plus equity share) was probably around a half of Orioles total revenue. The starker truth is that there isn't enough money in the till to pay the Nats a $100MM rights fee, and leave anything for Orioles.<br /><br />MASN getting more rights fees from Comcast Cable will be like getting blood from a turnip, as Comcast the programmer is MASN's main competition. Anybody buying MASN (Fox?) would have to sink mega $MM in programming to begin attract enough advertising dollars to bridge the gap. (Although Comcast's programming isn't that much better than MASN's, on a scale measured by ESPN/NBC/CBS.) <br /><br />If I had the Lerners' billions, I'd be tempted to pour $200+ MM into litigation (breach of convenant of good faith and fair dealing -- a thin reed but all I see) until Angelos and MLB get tired of writing checks to lawyers.Theophilus T.

Last night a student of about 12, who is just learning social skills, about half-way through her hour, asked me, "Did you hear about the shooting at the school?" I said, yes, I had, I had heard the president speak about it, and that he was crying because he has children of his own. She thought he had three children... I asked her if she was okay, and she said she was.<br /><br />The experts on TV said just go on with "normal activities" and "don't over-share." So that is advice I will try to follow.NatsLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814911056080758503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-63165621641122896152012-12-15T09:11:20.405-05:002012-12-15T09:11:20.405-05:00Yuk!
