...only 13,935 paid for Orioles-Nats Game 2 last night? As B. B. King so eloquently put it. 'the thrill is gone'.
that is shocking, to be honest.  How do they draw for any weeknight game if they can't draw for the Nats?  I've had no problem getting Red Sox tickets there and it has not been anywhere near the crowds they used to get.

Along these lines, I talked to a beer vendor who works both OPACY and Nats Park.  I forget the guy's name, but he's got a pony tail and was profiled a couple of years ago in the Post.  I had thought he was giving up the Nats gig due to the travel and such, but he said he actually works more Nats games now than OPACY games.  I guess there really just isn't the volume up there to do much as a vendor.
