"segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"

I don't think Miller Park, or Nationals Park are downtown either.

 

There are a bunch of bars and pub-and-grills pretty close to Miller Park on Bluemound, though. The old Derry Hegerty's Irish Pub is now an excellent place called Burke's Irish Castle. I highly recommend it.

 

I'd like to see Miller. I kinda like the look of the park.

 

Nationals Park isn't "downtown" but not that far from Capitol Hill, Barracks Row or a bunch of other stuff. Also the neighborhood around there is gradually building up.

 

Went there last year for a game. Awesome place. I sat in the CF seats where they have a wait staff to take your order, they even found a place to charge my phone for me.

I have always loved DC, one of my favorite cities to visit. So much to do and most of the cool stuff is free.

 

1996 called. It wants its controversy back.

 

That someone is the Astros' new owner, Jim Crane. A St. Louis native, he specifically looked to buy an NL team and thought he struck gold by getting a team in the same division as the Cardinals. And then the Commissioner's Office told him that one of the conditions of the sale was moving to the AL.

oh come on, plenty of people stop for a post-game dinner at the Taco Bell right before the on-ramp to I-70.

 

There's been a contingent in Milwaukee (including Selig) that considers Milwaukee a National League town because the Braves were there for 13 seasons. Nevermind that the Brewers were there in the American League for 27 seasons by the time the move was made in 1997.

 

I thought the thread title was clever. Nothing racially insensitive about the this thread.

 

And yet he bought the team, because owning a pro franchise is license to mint.

 

They just coveted the big crowds of Cub fans who make the drive north every time their bums are in town.

 

at first, yeah, but with the Brewers being more competitive in recent years that is starting to change.

A rival coming in accounts for a handful of big crowds but not a jump of 10,000 fans per game over a decade ago. Now maybe they felt they wouldn't be as competitive in the AL Central as the NL Central, but it's not the Cubs driving attendance at Miller Park these days.
