First off, congratulations go out to Manny Acta for being named the next skipper of the Indians! Guess I’m going to have to go on a road trip to Cleveland when the Nats face them in interleague play right after my birthday in June (woo!).

The last Everclear photo I took last night
Well, now that I’ve written it all out, it sounds kinda petty. Just dance, enjoy the show, and don’t expect anything like courteous staff I guess. Like going to baseball games – buy the fan gear, sit in your seats, clap...

I've got a little Strasburg in my pocket going jing-a-ling-a-ling... Okay, so it's a USB keyfob with the ESPN video on it from yesterday's debut, and somehow that put the old karaoke standby in my head. Anyway, for your voyeuristic workday pleasure in case you missed it...

The 2009 Nats season ended on a high note with a 7 game winning streak complete with sweeps of the Mets and Braves to counterbalance the 7 game losing streak they started the season with. I was kind of sad to see the season end, so thrilled with the 15 innings the last game turned [...]

[ Photoset ] The final home game of 2009 had the usual round of errors, heartbreak and breath holding. I was stressed from picking up my freaked out cat from knee ligament surgery and almost didn’t go, curly W blanket or not. But Little Chatter and I went and were rewarded for...

[ Photoset ] I had a hard time coming up with an appropriate title, waffling between “Who Let The Dogs Out?”, “Nats Game Went To The Dogs”, and the usual “09-06-09 Pups In The Park”, but the event seemed momentous enough to need something catchier...

The NatMobile — in my driveway!
[ Photoset ] Now that’s a proper Nats viewing party! When I first heard of the NatMobile and saw you could request it, I fired off a request to NatMobilerequests@nationals.com and while house calls may not exactly be what they had in mind...

Man, if the team hadn’t just resigned Livan! (I can’t remember how to do the upside down exclamation point on my Mac), I wouldn’t know what player to really look forward to watching. Well, maybe Wil Nieves (you know me and catchers). Nyjer Morgan broke his left hand...

Bwahaha! I have to bust out the video again because, well, it’s Lannan versus Smoltz tomorrow! How awesome is that?! It’s also baseball on the barn! It’s like fate or something… I may even bust out the mock tomahawk chop on this rare and glorious occasion even...
Great Seeing Livan Last Night

Livo did what he was supposed to - pitched six innings allowing only two runs. My only wish was that the pitch speed display was working on the score bar. I was curious to see where his fastball and curve were clocked. Fantastic to see that lock ‘em up curve ball thrown in a Nationals [...]

WHAT?! Ok, so this is weird. I consider myself a pretty amicable person who gets along with everyone and has a decent pulse on the Nats fanbase. I also get along with most media members and broadcasters (both radio and television). One television broadcaster has mentioned me during...

Oh happy day! Livan Hernandez is back as a National! Wow, I had to dig into my RFK photo archive to find a picture of him not in a Mets uniform. Collin Balester was optioned to AAA Syracuse to make room. Livo will start today against the Cubs. So awesome! At least I hope it [...]

Complete Green Man/Leg Man Photoset
Nationals Blogger Day II was very very good to me, arriving on the heels of one of the strangest nights in Nats Park I have ever experienced. So weird, I posted about it on the DC Sports Bog (thanks, Dan!). So weird, the shaky clips of video I took...

Wednesday night was racing president Teddy’s Facebook and Twitter night. I attended, but didn’t arrive until game time, so I think maybe I missed the good part? I think there was a “happy hour” at the Scoreboard Walk bar prior to the game. When I arrived with...

Welcome to DC, kid! The photos are up and rather than do a full post at this late hour, I’m going to cheat a wee bit (cuz I’m a blogger and have that luxury in addition to a full time job and kids and this week is about killing me). You can view the album [...]

I didn’t have tickets to the game Saturday, and in fact had other plans that night, but agreed to tweetup with a couple fans at The Bullpen bar across the street from the stadium (which I took a few photos of and will have a review of shortly). While I was in the area, I [...]
