Stan Kasten feels the pain more than you do.

"There's no question that the day-to-day performance, for the last month especially, has been very disappointing. We feel it more than any fan or person in the media could possibly feel it... Obviously, it's disappointing, all the things that have happened. But we continue to focus on the big picture. And big picture, I'm still as optimistic as I've ever been."
(Stan Kasten, via Washington Times, 6/27/2008)

I feel better now, thanks Stan.

Where's the StanSpeak Translator when we need it?

Let's try this:

I'm trying to convince fans (especially companies) who are grossly overpaying for tickets. By pretending I'm upset with performance it makes me seem like I care. I may care, but it doesn't appear that I do.

(note: I'm biased, but I think the Nats have had more injuries to our "core" players than other teams)

The Nats remind me of the 1999 Los Angeles Angels squad that lost 92 games. I sat in the Metrodome and watched them and the Twins, who were everybit as bad, bumble and stumble, thinking my high school team could have beat these guys.

But look what the Angels and Twins have done since. There is hope.

Hope. Patience. It all sounds good to me. Except that, by nature, I'm generally an impatient pessimist. I really DO feel better about things this morning just knowing Stan feels worse about it than I do.

Little known fact: Stan has 50% more nerve endings than a normal person. He didn't go bald, he pulled out his hair because he couldn't stand the way it was scraping the top of his head.

harper deserves a free "Nationals Enquirer: Our paper bag has a curly W" t-shirt for that comment. Brilliant.

If I had t-shirts, I'd give harper two of 'em...Hey, i like that slogan, by the way. Might have to steal it...
