MLB, NL East, Washington Nationals

The Lerners are not paying rent. They need to be evicted. The slime-balls are playing DC for fools.

They have the worst team in MLB, playing in the newest stadium and they have the audacity to want the city to pay them $100,000 a day because their offices where not ready on time, even though they were getting free rent at RFK. They haven't even paid ticket sales taxes to the city yet on all those season tickets and luxury boxes sales.

Did I mention the stadium was built by the generous tax dollars of the citizens of Washington, DC?

I said all along that the Lerner’s were the worst possible pick to steward baseball in the Nation’s capital after a 33-year hiatus. They only care about one thing, money. Their greed is odorous.

It is time for DC citizens to boycott that team. Hell it is nothing but a AAA team anyway.

The slime balls are putting a low ball product on the field and charging top dollar for it. They haven’t signed any of the top five draft picks. The Nats are only averaging 9000 viewers per game on MASN and the PR moves are atrocious.

This is one vote for eviction. Padlock the gates and make the Lerner’s sell to some one who wants to win!

  1. I don't want to seem nasty but I couldn't disagree with your article more except where you said it's nothing but a AAA team. With all the injuries it is like watching a minor league team. They have had one bad break after another. Don't count them down and out just yet.

    "Generous tax dollars". DC Council fought it tooth and nail. They have screwed this franchise so much and it has done nothing but help the streets of SE and the economy of the city.

    Show me a franchise with a worse city supporting it.

  2. I fail to see where the ballpark has injured the Lerner's ability to make money.
