I was struck that they had Milledge and Flores jerseys along with Zim ones. <BR/><BR/>But there's no guarantee that Flores will be a National on opening day. According to Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald, a slew of catchers are being shopped to the Red Sox. Among the catchers named in that article was Jesus Flores.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818041885761386556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-52188093287838728282008-11-27T00:57:00.000-05:002008-11-27T00:57:00.000-05:00True.

Let me get this straight---the Nats are still going to wear their blue road caps, but the letters and numbers on the jerseys are going to be <B>red</B>? They should be blue to match the caps!<BR/><BR/>That being said, I like the blue alternate jerseys...much better than the red "curly W" logo. I also like the new blue "star-spangled" caps, but they would look better if the white piping was red or gold.Edward J.

The team has enough trouble on the basepaths already without having to worry about runners slipping on banana peels. And I'd hate to see outfielders grabbing a flying potato when they should be catching a fly ball for the third out in a close game.<BR/><BR/>And what would constitute an improvement in the produce on the field anyway?

Everytime I stepped off Metro this summer on the way to pay way too much for a beer at the Red Loft, I'd say to my ballgame companion, "look at all of this construction. By this time next year, it's going to be swimming with bars, restaurants, and really make an evening out of the ballgame." Not so much anymore, it seems. I really dread the long-term impact that this could have on the franchise. For if the produce on the field doesn't rapidly improve, they're going to require something else to draw people to games.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324190091568057197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-20812736044064774922008-11-23T23:36:00.000-05:002008-11-23T23:36:00.000-05:00Thanks for the taking the photos...I like the away...Thanks for the taking the photos...I like the away jersey..but I am with you...why gold on the back and not on the front?
