Washington Nationals lose fireworks rights

At 15-40, the Washington Nationals suck at baseball, and now, they suck at fireworks.

Today, the Nats lost more than just a game (the team got blanked 7-0 vs. the Mets), the Nats also lost use of its pyrotechnics. D.C. Fire Chief Dennis Rubin put at least a temporary end to the stadium’s fireworks displays. Rubin attended today’s game, and after a fireworks display for the National Anthem ordered them to be stopped. Why?

Fireworks debris had fallen on the fire chief. According to a source familiar with the dustup, the chief then got super testy—at one point, invoking his fancy fire chief title.

So now, instead of fireworks, they'll just hand our sparklers and have a guy streak on the field with an American flag.

Wonder what he thinks of flares at Chicago Fire games?

Baseball game suspended so they can shoot off fireworks

This doesn't surprise me. City permits are a pain in the but and are stricter than the MLB drug-testing policy. An independent league game was suspended so they could shoot up the fireworks show - which is probably why most of the fans came anyways.

The Chico Outlaws and Calgary Vipers were trapped in an epic, a 6-6 tie after 11 innings seven games into the Golden Baseball League season, and the crack crew of ESPN Classic was beginning to clear its Saturday schedule to loop the game's grainy highlights. The only problem: It was nearing 11 p.m., and if the game went any longer, a city ordinance would have prevented fans from seeing the fireworks they had all come for. The Outlaws' general manager made the obvious decisions: Suspend the game, and boom goes the dynamite.

That's independent league baseball for you. I bet you the general manager was probably looking at a huge sea of expenses for that fireworks show and couldn't have the meager fan leave pissed.

Ladies and gentlemen, your national pastime!
