[Photoset] The DC City Council is again talking baseball, but this time without all the arguments and bickering. The Nationals have voiced a commitment to improving athletics and education in DC since the Lerner’s acquired the team, and yesterday announced one more step toward...

Nothing to see here - moving on. Have to run a couple tests to see if I can use a new way of uploading photos directly into posts this season… (my spring training)! Oooh it works! It works!! (captions are now in the lightbox window).

At the Potomac Nationals winter banquet headlined by Hondo himself, I sat next to a man and his son who had also zipped straight there from the Nationals fanfest. We got to talking and it turned out the man, Steve Walker, was finishing a book about the 1969 Senators. Now that book...

Wow, spring training, an event I now feel so far removed from it feels like baseball isn’t even going on, is less than a week away from daily games on TV or in person. Yesterday, however, the distance closed a little thanks to a hand extended from the Nationals inviting smaller...

If only the native language in the Dominican Republic was French, this would have been unveiled a month ago! All those years of bucking the trend/norm and taking French instead of Spanish has finally come back to haunt me. The extent of my Spanish speaking is the ability to count...

No, not *that* prez… Nationals President Stan Kasten will host an online chat on washingtonpost.com at 11 AM tomorrow (Tuesday). Hopefully no translator required. You can submit questions early and often.

I love sports. I love baseball. I love the Washington Nationals. I am not a journalist. This makes my coverage biased, far from hard hitting or challenging, and completely sporadic in both timing of updates and topics. So for those of you looking for breaking dispassionate news or...

Ok, so my new studio lights are now sporting spiffy umbrellas so I don’t look like Winona Ryder in Beatlejuice, and I’m ready to film a That’s Chat’s Nats episode if anyone still cares/watches. The only problem is I can’t think of a particular topic....

Man, Adam Dunn is a production machine! I sure hope his consistency maintains throughout the regular season. He and Joel Hanrahan are frankly my only reason to pay much attention to the WBC. He apparently cracks his teammates up and also knows when to keep his cool. Last night&rsquo...

Feels like it’s been eons since I’ve seen or heard a game. I know it’s really only been a week, but still! So I went hunting for the next radio and televised broadcasts. Today and tomorrow’s afternoon games will be on WFED 1500 AM. Wednesday night’s game...

A couple articles on projected attendance at MLB games posted today. One, on Baseball Insider, somewhat predicts the worst. The other on MLB.com shows that fans will likely stick with baseball as a summer escape and our own Natosphere member, Kristen of We’ve Got Heart, was interviewed...

So the other guest on Washington Post Live last night was Mike Wise, sports columnist at the Post. I felt I was in the presence of greatness and a Hollywood star or something - probably boosted by the way Steinbog has written about him in the past. Anyway, he’s quite engaging...

I'm long overdue for a TCN episode, so this will have to do for now. I think I'm getting a little better especially at following the rapid fire change of topics, and I realize I'm my own worst critic, but there were a couple awkward moments there. Like, how many times could...

I?ve discovered and followed a few photographers on Twitter while looking for advice and ideas. Most of the photographers I?ve found are wedding photographers (which is obviously not my field aside from shooting my brother-in-law?s). And I had certainly not run across any other female sports ...

I?ll be on Comcast SportsNet?s Washington Post Live show tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5 PM to chat about the WBC and spring training. Tune in to see how I embarrass myself this time! Is it a fashion faux pas to mix Ann Taylor Loft (cool clothes) and Chico?s (what I consider old lady clothes)? Although ...

[Photoset] We hiked on down to Port St. Lucie yesterday for our final spring training game. Okay, we drove. And we blew threw tolls again because we called the rental car company and that?s what they told us to do. We felt naughty! Scott Olsen started the game while we watched from the outfield ...

Spring training is almost more fun than the regular baseball season. The rules are laxer and the atmosphere is cozy. The weather has the potential to warm the soul and beaches are plenty. Yesterday we skipped the 8 hour round trip drive from our hotel near Orlando to go to the Nats/O?s game in ...

This was probably the greatest photo I got during the Nats/Mets game (or the Nationals vs. the ex-Nats NE). Cristian Guzman really misses Livo and gave him a goosing or something to show
Maybe if yesterday?s starting pitchers had received a little more love, the game would have gone a ...

The groundscrew dropped their rakes or whatever you call those steel grid things in between the 4th and 5th innings to do a rendition of Y-M-C-A before picking them up and finishing. And that explains the day at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida where the Nationals pitchers...
