SIX DAYS!! Yes, the season begins in six short days. Don't forget the massive Natosphere tailgate party in Lot 8 by the tree at 11 AM opening day (last one at RFK). What tree? If you follow the left side of the parking lot coming in off 395, the parking lot does a little jog after an entrance to a fenced parking lot to the left.

At least, that's the plan anyway. April 2nd members of the Natosphere and religious readers and commenters are welcome to join us in Lot 8 - same as before. We'll ... Continue Reading
As the Natosphere continues being a featured media darling, a new profile article penned by Michael Walsh is up at minorleaguebaseball.com. Pay more attention to the stuff about the wonderfully informative Nationals Farm Authority because honestly, it feels kind of weird linking to an article in which I figure prominently! Todd Jacobson also provides some good perspective from the beat writer's side. By the way, Jacobson described this blog as "avant garde" according to Michael Walsh - pretty cool! I ...
