Nats, Alan Thicke Have Something in Common

Much chatter this afternoon about a Sports Business Journal report that Washington Nationals games on TV attract an average of 9,000 households—a number that, ironically enough, matches the number of Nats players that Manny Acta has had to place on the disabled list this season. Even Alan Thicke didn’t have it so bad—and he got his ass kicked by golf highlights.

Dan Steinberg jumped on this early, but the folks at Big League Stew get a good joke in:

Nine thousand people? A 0.39 overall score? Really? I know Nats baseball isn’t as exciting or riveting as C-SPAN or Wolf Blitzer, but you figure the Nats would have scored a higher rating just by the people leaving their televisions on after a Skins minicamp update…
