The Washington Nationals are treading on thin ice. They lost 100 games last season, failed to sign their first round draft pick, the GM resigned in disgrace after an FBI investigation, and they couldn't fill their new tax-payer funded stadium in its inaugural season. What is the solution to all this?
A new mascot!!
For those of you too lazy to click the link, its a giant bird in a Nationals jersey and hat. Exciting!* It's not terrible looking, as mascots go, but the problem (you knew there would be one of these coming sometime soon, eh?) came when they tried to name the gosh-darned thing.
"Screech."
Really?
Sadly... [sigh...] yes. Can't these people do anything right?
*Not really.

Hey, the kids LOVE big cartoon animals! You're sure to fill the stadium now and distract the fans from the bird droppings on the field the Nationals management calls "players".
Sure, they may lose 100 games again, but this time they'll do it with a guy dressed as a bird, and really, that's an improvement of about a thousand percent.
Maybe the mascot will give someone a Dirty Sanchez and videotape it like the original Screech.
