Google is even getting in on the game by starting their own networking product (which of course, I......

One of the fun things about being at the games and paying the price of admission is feeling like we earned the right to being an "armchair quarterback" know-it-all so in baseball the equivalent is "Do you think you are smarter than a Manager?" We all like to second guess and we all like to specul......

Ok, so I'm really in a coma - or hibernation - and not dead yet. I've run into many people who have asked me to please come back (including my husband, if to mainly justify his MR CHAT license plates (that's a joke, honey)), and it's hard to resist (apparently I'm not as strong as [...]...

Every cruise ship needs a cruise director and every stadium needs an entertainment director. As I have traveled around the country for a variety of sporting events, you certainly get a sampling of team entertainment. The Nationals have put together the best talent for the National Anthem which ......

After the Nationals parted ways with Frank Robinson after the 2006 season, I personally called Stan Kasten to throw out a name that may not have been on his lista?"Jim Riggleman. Stan said that Jim was already on his short list, but as we know the Nationals got Manny Acta so it was great [...]...

Wil Nieves, my favorite backup catcher circa 2008 (since my previous favorite dropped out of the game during the season and hasn't played for the Nats in years, but still holds a place in my heart) follows this blog!

So basically Jim Bowden just traded Jon Rauch for Scott Olsen and P.J. Dean and shortstop Jake Smolinski for Josh Willingham. For anyone confused, Jon Rauch was traded for the 2nd baseman of the future Emilio Bonifacio just a few months ago so the 2nd baseman of the future is no longer part of [......
