The City Council, in a pitched debate, approved the initial steps toward a new baseball-only stadium in Southeast along the Anacostia Riverfront yesterday. The council voted 6-4 in favor of the new stadium, but a final vote in mid-December will keep the Mayor on his toes. It’s a half billion dollar package that was necessary to appease enough of the council with local funding for libraries and schools.

Here’s hoping the Nationals don’t Suck.
