Aside from sports, does any other industry exist where the quality of the product can decrease, yet the price increases? After attending last night's game, I can safely assess the state of the Nats franchise as atrocious. The team has no talent, and doesn't attempt to overcome the talent deficit by playing fundamental baseball. On separate occasions mental breakdowns led to runs for the Phillies; breakdowns a 13 year old wouldn't make.
The 2B or P not covering 1st on a bunt to the right side of the infield.
The 1B calling for a throw from the C on a dribbled ball in foul territory.
The P getting out of the way of a popup, so it can be fielded by the 3B, with the result being an unnecessary collision.
There is no way I'll be paying for Nats tickets until I see an improved product on the field. The stadium 'perks' (i.e. 'the homage to drinking', with a massive bar behind CF) don't overcome the shortfalls.
Last night's game should lead to the firing of Manny Acta, I'd be shocked if it didn't.

Hmmm...
And tonight, they beat the Reds, 5-2.
What does that say about Dusty Baker?
Wait, don't answer that...
