So that means Zim hit the first AND last homeruns by a National at home for Nats Park's inugural season.

Dukes, I think would qualify for three separate DL trips in the 30. Sorry for any confusion.<BR/><BR/>And as for Dukes in center, the moment I read that 9 outfield assists stat, there was no further doubt in my mind he is the best person for Centerfield as well.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-6671609008709179792009-01-31T19:12:00.000-05:002009-01-31T19:12:00.000-05:00Wait--48 out of the 50 roster players made the DL?...Wait--48 out of the 50 roster players made the DL? It can't be. Say it ain't so. Did you mean the opening day roster? Still . . . .<BR/><BR/>Re Dukes's assists--Is there any doubt in the sane baseball mind that he belongs in CF and Milledge in one of the corners?paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683734720896529408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-88392215175830799392009-01-31T18:31:00.000-05:002009-01-31T18:31:00.000-05:00Brian: Yes, I have known about Centerplate being o...Brian: Yes, I have known about Centerplate being out for some time. But Centerplate, The Nationals and Levy Restaurants-the new concessionaire are all tight lipped on the matter. No one is saying anything at all. Like Nothing. Even Levy's Website took down any mention of Nationals Park instead now saying SE DC Jobs available.<BR/><BR/>FMI--the previous holder of the rights to sell memorabilia at RFK is apparently back for 2009. Centerplate did both concessions and memorabilia in 2008. Mr. Kasten says some sort of big announcement is coming very soon on all of this.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I was sort of surprised Centerplate is now gone. When I last talked with them they were moving forward with 2009 plans.

Go figure...<BR/><BR/>On another note, do you know anything about CenterPlate being replaced? I understand they are out, but I'm surprised there's been no coverage anywhere (except from the one artice in the WBJ).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
