Bang Zoom Go the Radio Numbers! Oh wait. Who cares about radio numbers when you can get every game on your laptop with the MLB package? Faulty evidence indeed but this team sucks. I mean SUCKS big monkey balls. I ate my first pair of season tickets the other night and I figured I was actually saving money by not buying overpriced beer for 2 hours. Yes, I could go and stay sober but this team can only be endured in person under the influence of alcohol.

Oh, Bowden Sucks and the Lerner family members are cheap Aholes.

Making the leap from bad radio numbers to bad baseball town doesn’t make sense.

Jumping off from something WFY hinted at — these radio numbers say nothing about DC being a bad baseball town — what it IS is another example of how poorly this team has been marketed/sold around town, coupled with the piss poor product they’re selling.

I will never understand why some people get off on telling Nats fans that our team is going to leave. Like, why the hell do you care, Cubs fan? Shouldn’t you be more concerned about your team’s complete impotence over the last century? Get bent, assface.

I don’t know someone would turn into 980 to try and find Nats games. I mean, do they even talk about the Nats on that station, outside of the paid segment Trader/Traitor Jim does every week?

Maybe things have changed under Red Zebra (when I stopped listening to the station), but I doubt it.

Reception or not, AM/FM radio ratings are probably the worst possible numbers on which to base the success of a baseball franchise.

Much like MASN2, most people don’t know that 107.7 exists. The reception also sucks. I usually turn on 980 expecting to hear the Nats and realize that the Orioles are on the DC sports-radio station. I usually wind up listening to my iPod.

Yea There are very few top 15 media markets without baseball teams. I think the Nats will be fine in the long run…

Well, the tide is turning, because I’m going to be at the game on Thursday — my first Nats game not at Petco Park.”

If you had just created “The GM Ran Me Over With His Segway” like I ~~begged~~ suggested the Nats would be in the wild card race by now.

Here’s how the Nats solve their attendance/audience problem: win. Because right now they’re so bad even the few diehards they do have can’t stand to go/watch/listen. Obviously.

Lets not forget that the O’s host the Red Sox & Yankees which inflate their attendance numbers due to flocks of poser-ish douchebags from said teams.
