I think that it's time to convert this record-setting losing season into a Mets-styled positive somehow. While Acta and the Nats are not loveable losers - they are actually tedious losers, there are still plenty of snakebitten moments deserving of highlighting.<br /><br />I volunteer for this one: <br />"My Embarassing Moment?<br />It's Opening Day, 2008, and the programs and schedules and all the promotional literature depict an "Iconic Baseball" aloft the platform in Centerfield. But wait - turns out the Lerners found out the ball would cost millions and they couldn't sell naming rights to underwrite it. So, instead, they decide not to pay rent! Or pay for quality major leaguers so the new $660 million park built by D.C. could have a team which would enable a true fan base to develop. Ted Lerner and his two sons-in-law, gifted the team, decide to starve it for 10% ROI - that's my Embarassing Moment!"<br /><br />Trust in Acta to remain in the saddle. And, at $500k per year, he's a bargain.
