actually I watch few pro sports anymore because of billionaire owners like Kraft and multi-millionaire players like Harper.

Time to raise those ticket prices and that 12oz glass of beer will be @ $20 this season.
Time to start putting logos on baseball players like they do in NASCAR

I really thought he would land in LA. I am still not optimistic that he has the temperament to survive Philly. That being said, we needed a bat in the lineup.

Too bad/sad my daughter, a confirmed Nats (and Harper until now) fan, won't watch him. My grandson, a Phanatic living in NJ, on the other hand, will likely love him! Happy to see a sweet 5 year old loving the game!

...yawn...

It has been such a long ad nauseum story that it is very anticlimactic. Wish Bryce all the best. He was a fun player to watch, but for a very long time he has given many the vibe that he deserved more than what Washington could give him so I hope that he finds it in Philly. But I have my doubts.

GO NATS!!!!!
