I’m Kristin, a University of Pennsylvania psychology student and a huge baseball fan. I am currently conducting an honors thesis study on clutch ability and psychological characteristics of Major league baseball players. I made a survey asking fans to rate players from various teams on certain characteristics. One of these teams is the Nationals and it would be great to have some Nationals fans fill out my survey and rate their favorite players. Here is some background info: What is "clutch"? What players are considered "clutch" performers? What players are "gritty" or have natural talent? Are these players also "clutch"? These frequently cited terms in the game of baseball have rarely been objectively studied. I have created a survey asking about some Major League players’ characteristics and it would be great if some of you, being huge baseball fans, could fill it out! It should only take a maximum of 10 minutes. Also, I would love to hear any comments that you have about my survey! Thanks so much for all your help! Here is the website for my survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s. aspx?sm=VUWValhJzb65tk1lZoMMEQ _3d_3d Kristin Hi!

Makes you wonder if they shouldn't have just kept them in Montreal. The stadium is nice, but the Lerner saga and the misadventures of Jim Bowden will make sure that the Nats are ill-attended.

It's a nice enough park (if not essentially a clone of Great American in Cincinnati), but not many people are willing to spend NFL prices for AAA baseball.

People should boycott the games until the Lerners pay rent & put a major league team on the field. The cheap ass Lerner family is at fault here.
