Didn't you send her some hate mail a few days ago?

She must have sweet talked you...

[PennSkinsFan]

Excellent. Looks liek the deal will be passed today by City Council and then approved by Major League Baseball. Baseball executives were in the negotiations, so it is a guarantee that the deal will be viewed favorable by MLB owners.

Nats stay in DC!!!!!

I still think she played dirty pool but since the whole thing worked out, I can forgive her.

Probably because it does not change very much in the grand scope of things in the AFC.

Pittsburgh now as a little cushion to lose a game and it looked like the road to the Superbowl was gonna go through the steel city anyways.

I do think that either New England or Indianapolis will beat Pittsburgh. I would not count out San Diego because they play a brand of football that works very well in the playoffs.

WASHINGTON - Efforts to bring baseball back to the nation's capital got back on track Tuesday as lawmakers approved two amendments, then voted 7-6 to back the entire deal.

thanks, tommahawk, thats certinaly good news!

[Skinzaholic]

Good news!

[tommahawk]

Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig issued the following statement today regarding the legislation passed by the Council of the District of Columbia today:

"Major League Baseball is pleased that the Council of the District of Columbia today approved legislation consistent with the terms of our original agreement to have Washington as a home for Major League Baseball."

"The sunset amendment to the original legislation initiated last week was a critical issue because it changed the transaction and did not commit the government to the financing agreed to in the stadium agreement. With the city once again assuring financing as well as continuing to agree to split the costs with MLB on damages incurred by moving into a new stadium after the target date, we can now focus our attention on bringing baseball back to Washington this coming season. To that end, the club may now resume its business and promotional activities."

"We are also pleased that our discussions with Washington's elected leaders over the last several days have helped each side better understand the concerns of the other. We are now more confident than ever of a long and productive relationship with the city of Washington as we move forward with this great project."
