Who even knew about it when it happened?<br /><br />Looking back at the choices they offered, the only one that makes sense under the current circumstances is Pudge. Lannan is gone, Flores never made it back, Teddy was done in 2007, and who would want a Riggleman bobblehead anyway? So no matter how the fans voted, I'm sure they just picked Pudge - which is probably why they're not even mentioning the fan choice aspect of it at all now.<br /><br />Actually, since they allowed the write-in option the real winner of the vote had to have been Strasburg. But the bobbleheads probably had to go into production well before he was called up, so I would guess they chose not to do him this year.TBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985413477143165605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-61032394693262668292010-07-07T00:51:49.663-04:002010-07-07T00:51:49.663-04:00Thanks for the scoop.

Communication with fans has not been one of the Nationals' strengths. Sure, they've improved a little, but there's still a long way to go when super-diehards feel uninformed most of the time.<br /><br />It practically took detective work to get details about Nats U for women before that event, and the picnic for STH on Saturday has had very little advance notice and marketing. <br /><br />Both Nats U and the picnic are fun events, so you'd think the Nationals would want to promote them heavily to get all the credit they can for activities that make fans happy. <br /><br />I do wonder what the issue is. Is it that they don't have enough staff to do the job, or instead that they still have too many of the wrong staff, who don't have the instinct to think of fans as customers and ask themselves everyday ... what would I want/need if I were a fan?Jenn Jensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17459409814615775648noreply@blogger.com
