A good friend of ours a Chris Lubanski plays for the AAA Omaha Royals. Got drafted out of HS. Struggling a little but only 24 years old. He played many years with us in AAU and travel baseball. A very nice family too. We hope he makes it. The Royals have a very nice "clean" ballpark.

The Washington Nationals have sucked for the past 4 years. They are 40 games below .500 this season and it isn't improving. Got a nice new ball park but the team can't field a winning group.....Should of kept Frank Robinson instead of dumping him the way they did....Attendence is dropping this year which isn't good. When Camden Yards opened back in '91, used to head over to Charm city to watch the O's quite a bit. That stadium was always at or near capacity for the following years....Not so with DC's new stadium. Unless the wins start coming the fans are going to stop going. The owners of the team have already with held rent payments to the city....it's just gonna get worse~

Try being a business owner in DC and having to pay a "Ballpark Fee" to pay for the damn place ....

I'm a Dodger fan so I've experienced the ups and downs over the years. However, my true devotion is to a team that has had one of the worst records in Hockey over the last 40 years- the Los Angeles Kings. It has been very tough hanging in with a team ownership who settles for last place teams while raking in money year after year and playing well under the salary cap. As always GO KINGS!! (there would have been way more exclamation marks after that a few years ago).

How do I cope? I don't pay any attention to baseball anymore.

If Camden Yards wasn't such a nice ball park, I won't go at all.

Thats the problem Rick. The real fan is losing interest. More teams have a losing record than not. I used to love the old Senators but yet another losing team forever.

Hey...at least you don't have the Diamondbacks!

That's why I am a long time Angels fan...after so many years of sucky teams(and crappy owners)...the Angels are finally doing okay!
