Is this it?

Bud Selig's mouthpiece, a.k.a. Tom Boswell, claims that next week is the time for the big announcement:

MLB wants to have an owner in place before the Ground Breaking on the new park next week (May 4). Also, they want to vote on the new owner at the owners' meeting May 17-18.
So EVEN BUD will be amazed if he doesn't get this done by the next time we chat.

Wow! Even Mr. National Disgrace himself? I'm still not holding my breath.

And then there was this smart guy:

Baltimore, Md.: I'm sorry, but the real reason Nats attendance is plummeting is not MLB's handling of the team, but rather the simple fact that D.C. has never been- and never will be- a good baseball town. For a city that was supposedly salivating for a team for decades to finally get a franchise AND witness an impossible dream season to abandon ship this quickly is pathetic, and you cant just blame bud and masn. A true baseball town would automatically sell out the stadium for years regardless of any perhiphery issues. Why are you an apologist for the city?

Whatever, dude. I guess Baltimore's not a true baseball town either, since their attendance is down the toilet as well. Think it's a coincidence that not nearly as many people from VA and DC are going to the O's games? Dumbass.
Tom's answer?

Tom Boswell: Thanks, Peter. Good to see that you're still posting every week. Best of luck. You're team actually looks quite a bit better. I know because I get them on my home TV, unlike...

Not sports-related (obviously), but this exchange, from John Kelly's discussion, was simply stunning:

Anonymous: John, I'm the guy who, last summer, snooped on my wife's emails and discovered she was having an affair and wondered whether I should show up at their meeting spot that weekend to confront them. A couple of months ago, I wrote in with an update, saying that she was still seeing the guy (who was married and has kids) and they were trysting at my house (I left out the " in MY bed" part, figuring it was understood). I told his wife what was happening and gave her the address. I'm writing in with another update. A cautionary tale, as it were. His wife did, in fact, throw him out on his tuchis.

I'm happy to report he's living temporarily in a group house and had to sell his beloved sports car, as I hoped, because now he's paying a mortgage AND rent and couldn't afford the beamer. He's now driving a high mileage used Accord. His soon-to-be-ex has obtained a lawyer and is receiving $750 monthly in preliminary child support and has informed him she's seeking full custody and will move back to her hometown (in Ohio) as soon as everything is finalized. I'm not a mathematician, but I'm fairly confident that he's left with precious little to get by on.

Here's the great thing. He wanted to move in with my soon-to-be-ex. She said no and called off the relationship when he persisted and "got clingy". (I can only hope, since they work together, that they're both miserable at work.) So now he's got NOTHING and his kids are moving 800 miles away! (As an added bonus, my soon-to-be-ex called me to tell me her affair over and wanted to try again and go to marriage counseling with me. I politely declined.)

I drive by his place every now and then, because it's not far from where I'm living. I saw him walking from his car to the house one day, honked and smiled and waved. He gave me the finger. It made my day! On the other hand, I never realized how vindictive I could be. I'm not sure I like that, but for now I don't care much. As they say...Life Is Good!

This is how it's supposed to work out when you discover your spouse is having an affair, but it almost never happens this way. The guy is enjoying it almost a little too much, but hey- who can blame him?

(gasp! I had to change something in the post AND THE TITLE after I put it up- I guess it's ten lashes for me!)

(oh no! I had to change something else! I wonder why I was asked to join the DC Blogs live feed? I obviously don't know how to use it!)
