Grandma's House

I think this is about the shortest franchise in the history of major league baseball. The Washington Nationals have closed the only memorabilia store they had in operation, and have stopped hiring personnel to run the operation. This is in response to the city council's reluctance to act on building a new stadium for them. Ah, boo hoo! Build your own stinkin' stadium. Considering how much these teams charge for admission, parking, snacks, etc., they should be able to build a new stadium with no problem. And don't tell me they have to spend all their money on the players. As far as I'm concerned, the players can take less money, or they can find a real job and let someone come in to play who cares about the game and the fans, not the paycheck. The games may not be quite the same, but attendance would go up, not to mention morale.
