At long last, Nats come to nest
By Nick Falgout | April 15, 2005, midnight | In Print »
If you listened really closely as you walked up the shallow concrete inclines toward the RFK Stadium ball field, you could hear the faint sound of tireless airhorns bleating in your imagination. It was hard, walking out into the open stadium air for the first time, to rid myself of the image of a soccer field with a comb-over, cleat-ripped grass neatly cut like an outfield with something to hide. The seats lacked that satisfying sproing when I stood up, as though the seats were already weary with the work of bearing some other burden. It struck me that the Nationals had not found a home so much as a leaky basement they could sleep in.

By Michael Bushnell | April 15, 2005, midnight | In Print »
With their 5-3 win last night, the Washington Nationals hosted the first regular season Major League Baseball game in the District in 34 years.

An arid, dry "Sahara"
By Danny Scheer | April 14, 2005, midnight | In Print »
In the action movie department, "Sahara" is pretty mediocre, though it has all the prerequisites - a fast-paced storyline, exotic locales and ridiculous amounts of explosions and gunfire. "Sahara" even includes the stock protagonists: Matthew McConaughey as the hunky boy scout/alpha male, Penelope Cruz as the gorgeous babe and Steven Zahn as the flunky sidekick.
