Spring Softball Madness

While the Nationals are getting ready over at “______” Field at RFK Stadium, the Metropolitan Media Softball League (MMSL) is also gearing up for another season.

WSJ’s John Harwood reports today that just a week after the league‘s first meeting for the 2005 season there’s already some controversy brewing as to the line-up. Conservative news website Townhall.com has applied to field a team, but some league players are complaining that the site, an offshoot of the Heritage Foundation, is an advocacy site not a news site. A particularly witty Townhall.com spokesperson told Harwood, “we’ll hardly be the only team in the league” delivering “news with a slant.”

No word on whether Talon News will field a team. We hear Jeff Gannon is particularly talented at lobbing softballs.
