Are you a Nats fan? Do you own a television? Well, have I got a deal for you ...

There's news from Washington this morning. Seems Washingtonians don't like their baseball team -- at least not enough to watch it on television, according to the Washington Post. Today's article reveals perhaps the most embarrassing statistic in baseball today -- that the Nationals average only 9,000 viewers per broadcast. And the majority of those 9,000 disenfranchised souls think they're watching C-Span.

The article goes on to state that the Kansas City Royals have the second-lowest viewing audience, which is still three times as large as that of the Nationals (The Fightin' Nats!). You can blame whoever or whatever you want, but no one has ever given a viable excuse for losing at anything to the Royals.

Now, I'm no getpeopletowatchyourprogramatologist, but if I were running things over there in Washington I'd spice it up a bit. Add a few bells, maybe a whistle or two and perhaps a How Far Did It Fly or or something of its ilk. I also hear winning helps.
