(Hope I'm wrong and that they <b>do</b> mean something.) I can wait until 2012 if need be.Edward J.

That is 50% of the team's history, though.)Chris S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06739976272047425977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-37531706757103500342010-09-15T20:19:52.675-04:002010-09-15T20:19:52.675-04:00The September schedule may be without precedent in...The September schedule may be without precedent in that we play at home all four weekends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-39383907640095313322010-09-15T17:47:35.227-04:002010-09-15T17:47:35.227-04:00Eddie: Anything's possible, but it's impro...Eddie: Anything's possible, but it's improbable or any organization, not just MLB, to hold a meeting or event hoping The President of The United States might attend.<br /><br />Too many other factors go into any personal or private appearance by a sitting President.

Even if the park is not sold out that day, it will be already be much more pleasant than Opening Day 2010.<br /><br />Second, I can't help but wonder if baseball decided to let the Nats play the White Sox again in 2011 because of one fan in particular living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Maybe they're already planning for Obama to attend that series in Chicago?Edward J. Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11925008506185290162noreply@blogger.com
