MEET THE NATS' NEW OWNER

Today we learn that last week's vehemently denied report was in fact accurate. The Washington Nationals indeed have this effervescent young whippersnapper for an owner:


I know next to nothing about real estate tycoon Ted Lerner and his band of merry investors, but their assuming ownership of our flailing franchise is fine with me for two reasons: a) He's local, and b) He's not George Soros. It's also kind of quirky that we now have two local teams owned by businessmen named Ted Le..., in a grasping-at-straws kind of way.

And as one of my co-workers asked at lunch, what do you think is the over-under on GM Jim Bowden's firing now?
