Letters to the NL East, Part 2 of 5
Dear Lastings Milledge, Paul Lo Duca, and the Washington Nationals,
Ooo, A shiny new ballpark! Now lets see if you can use the revenue that usually comes along with a new ballpark and an increase in attendance to keep it filled for years to come. On paper you look like you might be a little better than last year, improving slowly. Someone has to fill out the bottom of the division, but luckily It looks like you’ll easily be able to stay ahead of the Marlins in that regard.
Milledge and Lo Duca, we get it, you don’t like how you were treated or the opportunities you were given or not given in New York. Unfortunately, that’s life in New York and baseball. Talk all you want in spring, but the season is starting now and it’s time for you to stop worrying about New York and start worrying about Washington. Turns out, I actually wanted both of you to stay on the team, but you both had to open your mouths enough to piss off the powers that be, which only hurt the possibility of you sticking around. Now that you’re in the political correctness capital of the country, no one’s watching you guys to see if you’re saying the right things.
Your Former Fan,
Optimistic Mets Fan
