Ask And Ye Shall Receive
Over the weekend, in a long and rambling post, I mentioned that the Nats' website was not allowing people to buy 20-game season ticket plans in the $5 section on the website. It was particularly bizarre because the team had been doing a heavy radio ad campaign featuring the $100 plans as a great way to get your priority for next year. (Apparently, there's some sort of stadium opening up -- who knew?)
Continuing a surreal month or so, within about 30 minutes of me posting it, I had an email from somebody with the Nats, thanking me for pointing it out and assuring that it'd be fixed.
If you're interested in a mini-plan, you can now lay out a meager $100 bucks to watch our pitchers get bombed in 2o spirit-crushing games. If you're lucky you'll be on the John Patterson plan, and catch an inordinate number of his starts. Over the last two years, I was on the Ramon Ortiz and Tony Armas plan -- shoot me now!
Good job by the Nats in getting that fixed.
(Man, this really comes across as horn-tooting, doesn't it? I hate that)

I was on that same plan last year too.....and those were the aces of the staff!
I hope someone over at the Nats can proactively address the following (or perhaps we can get some informed feedback from Super Fans on the blogs soon but........
What is the deal with firing 3 of out 4 Player Development leaders.....Stan and JimB have been telling us for 9 months how this part of the PLAN is the most important and the ONE THING they can control and succeed at right away.....what happened and why, where does this leave us?
How can media and bloggers be OK with this huge RED FLAG in the plan and not ask tough questions of Stan? He can take it and we deserve a honest answer if we (and I am) going to 20 or more games again this year!

I think it's safe to assume that they didn't like what those guys were doing, and they wanted to clean house to bring their own guys in.
What'll be worth watching is to see who they bring in. Is it a Kasten guy? A Rizzo guy? That'll tell us a lot.
But it's really not worth worrying about because 1) We have no basis for knowing what kind of job was doing 2) we have no idea why they were really fired (nor will we ever really know)
I'm loath to use the "Trust in Stan" line because it's a copout. But in this case, it's probably the best course of action.

Part of 'the plan' now involves reading your blog. BTW, looks like they also fixed that exclusivity problem with the season ticket pre-sales that everyone at BPG was hollering about. Nice to know they are at least listening. A year ago there would have been nothing.

You'd think those ungrateful jerks would at least toss me a presale link! ;)
