To Break A Camera
You know that joking phrase, “XX is so ugly, they’ll break your camera if you take a picture of them”? Well, I couldn’t wait to get through my photo card to find out who the last person I took a photo of was before my camera began flashing an ugly error on the display and [...]

Jordan Zimmermann and Today’s Pitching
The Nationals took the field as visitors in their new red unis. J-Zimm rocked today! And I don’t mean that in the “he gave up a lot of hits/runs” sense, but rather was rockin’ on the mound against the Marlins. He was the only player on the field rocking the high red socks look compared [...]

Scary 1st Inning
There were a couple scary moments in the first inning of today’s 5-1 win over the Marlins in Jupiter, FL. Well, three actually, but I’ll get to the third in a later post. Nyjer Morgan led off against the team he started a brawl with late last season and was hit by a pitch by [...]

Wordish About 9th Inning
See what I did there? If Harper can be hitterish (a word I have heard before), then I can get a little wordish. Damn Yankees. The Yankees faithful filled Space Coast Stadium yesterday to watch one recognizable player (Cano) take on the Nats starters. Cano was heartily cheered in his first at bat in the [...]

About those bottom-fill beers
I sat down next to a couple Friday night and within a few minutes, the guy next to me was shaking beer off his hand and his wife ran to get napkins to clean off the beer-soaked seat. Was he drunk? Unable to handle his beer? Because a few minutes later, beer gushed all over [...]

03-12-11 Yankees 5 Nats 6
[ Photoset on Flickr ] Today was the last day for phenom Bryce Harper in major league camp before he was sent to single A (one of those H cities) after the game. It was also the day for prospects, namely Derek Norris, to shine. I’ll be more wordish in the morning, but wanted to [...]

Rocket’s Red Glare
When hearing the Star Spangled Banner before a baseball game, you don’t really expect to *really* see a rocket’s red glare during the course of the game. However, that’s what happened last night in the second inning of play as Delta IV was launched from Kennedy Space Center. I was terribly behind on Twitter after [...]

03-11-11 ST Astros 7 Nats 6
[ Photoset ] Well hello from sunny Viera, Florida, where the Nats took on the Astros at Space Coast Stadium under the (not as bright as MLB) stadium lights last night. Cranking this blog-machine back up, I’m down here for a few days and couldn’t have picked a better game to kick off the trip. [...]

Dream of Singing the Anthem or Shagging Fouls?
Got pipes? Mad ball skillz? Can you tickle the (electronic) ivories like no other? Great news! You can tryout next weekend to do any of those at Nationals games this upcoming season! The Washington Nationals are gearing up for the 2011 season by offering fans the opportunity to help fill their gameday roster. Beginning this [...]

Beyond Not Liking Baseball
I know I’ve been rather quiet lately. It takes gobs of passion and energy to regularly follow and write about a team, traits I normally possess in abundance, but both had been slowly sapped and it had nothing to do with the Nats not re-signing Adam Dunn or failing to sign a premier starting pitcher [...]

Road Trip! Spring Training
As we await our first major snowstorm (or yet another major anticipation fail), it’s time to look forward to spring training and hopefully basking in Space Coast Stadium seats in sunny warm Florida taking in the familiar Nationals and the newbies. Pitchers and catchers report in 22 days, and players filter in shortly after for [...]

Winter Caravanless and Spring NatsFest
Happy New Year! Yes, I realize we’re more than halfway through January. You may be wondering, “where have you been?!” I’ve been on a cold and windy family cruise for the holidays and then bided my time waiting for the Winter Caravan and NatsFest info so I’d have some goodies and photos to share. However, [...]

On The Red Carpet for How Do You Know Movie Premier
Finally! A dream come true! A chance to walk the (thankfully indoor and heated) red carpet and have my photo taken in front of the traditional marketing banner! Woo! Unfortunately, no Owen Wilson or Paul Rudd appeared by my side to pose handsomely with me while I smiled all big and cheesy with squinty eyes. [...]

12-15-10 Jayson Werth Press Conference (Photos)
The Nationals held an introductory press conference at Nationals Park this afternoon to officially welcome outfielder Jayson Werth to the team. The traditional “pass the jersey” custom was honored, although rather than Ryan Zimmerman handing it over, GM Mike Rizzo gave it to Werth. That was nice because he didn’t rush as fast as Zimmerman [...]

Cliffhanger Over – Trade Coming?
I was clearly paying attention to the wrong thing last night, watching the YouTube streaming red carpet evemt prior to the Hollywood premier of the “How Do You Know” movie starring Owen Wilson as a Nats reliever in love with Reese Witherspoon’s character. For one, Drew Storen had tweeted that he was going to be [...]

Video Q&A
I shamelessly admit I got this idea from Collin Balester, who started a “VYou” account yesterday to answer fan questions via video. I had never heard of the site before and you know I am about shiny new tech toys, particularly video, so I signed right up myself. I see ESPN’s Amy K. Nelson has [...]

Crazy! Metrodome Collapse Video
This storm caused the roof to collapse on the Metrodome in MN, and all we get is this stupid rain! Not baseball related, but this is a crazy video from inside the stadium as the roof collapsed. I swear someone scoots down the far sideline in a cart just before it collapses.

Flashback: Minor League Coaches
Do the names Tony Beasley, Marlon Anderson and Matt LeCroy mean anything to you? If you’ve been a Nats fan from the beginning, they should at least be familiar to you. And now they are all back with the organization in the form of minor league coaches. My only question is — when do they [...]

Sunny With A Chance…
Baseball fans enjoy predicting both the immediate and long-term future of their beloved franchise, much like meteorologists predict the weather. Is a storm brewing off-shore about to blow in and rip the home team to shreds in a path of destruction? Or will fans bask in perfectly sunny skies and mild temperatures ahead? Like in [...]

And Then?
If you have children, then you’re probably familiar with the following conversation: “Mommy, what are we doing today?” “Um, well, we’re going to the Farmer’s Market.” “And then?” “And then, hmm, well, we need to go to the store….” “Toy store?” “No, grocery store.” “Oh. And then?...

Championship Baseball
A real live championship game broadcast featuring top Nationals prospects in late November? Yes, please! My husband was rather stunned to find me in the basement watching real live baseball yesterday afternoon (“Seriously?!”) as I took in the Arizona Fall League Championship. He should know by now while things calm down quite a bit over [...]

Nats Unveil 2011 Redesigned Unis
Almost two years to the day after the last big jersey reveal (November 6, 2009), the Nationals revealed another uniform redesign to a select group of fans at Nationals Park tonight. As a Twitter friend suggested, I should have “gotten my red on” and worn a sari with my name and number on the back, [...]

Nats To Unveil Redesigned Uniforms
The hottest ticket in town this week could very well be the coveted golden tickets to view Jon Stewart and the Daily Show tapings at Harman Hall across from the Verizon Center. Another “Invite Only” ticket is giving the Daily Show a run for its money and many Nationals fans were lucky enough to receive [...]
