There are also some soccer teams staying at our hotel. One called the Columbus Crew from OH.

I agree. Rose's ban was nothing compared to what the Astros did. And Hodges should have been there years ago.

Just got tix to four Nats games. Probably will go to more. Surprisingly they were not more expensive than last year in spite of their WS win. Not opening day, though. Those are scarce and open mostly to season ticket holders.

Ahh, an early sign of spring. Go Nat's and bring home another WS trophy.

I think the Astros will be stripped of their WS title by the first game.

^ Possible. The Nats have lost Rendon, who was a great player all around. Remains to be seen who his replacement will be.

That would send a powerful message to the MLB teams.

At least 7 Astros were hit by pitches in the first weeks os Spring Training.

I’m surprised it’s not more.

Bye bye Spring Training and probably a late start to the season. Our first game we plan to attend is May 25 (Memorial Day).
