Well, winning is fun, isn't it?Honestly, I can't say I've been watching very much or even listening. Life is so busy right now. I have a new job with weird hours and a commute that leaves me literally with only one hour of non-work time at home per weekday. With a newlywed...

Subtitle: "Short answer yes with an if, long answer no with a but."Jim Bowden took seven hours of my life yesterday, and I want them back! Seriously, it was a bit anti-climatic to get all worked up in anticipation of the 4 p.m. trade deadline yesterday and then have nothing...

...for now. (You may have noticed I took down the "Fire Me" banner.)I'm going to reserve final judgement under the assumption that more deals are coming -- which is almost undoubtedly going to be the case.But on the surface, it looks like Bowden just fleeced his old team...

Why the hell should I care about a team that's going to be run by this crazy-ass douchebag?We all know Bowden is a Grade A brown-noser. I guess our only hope is that his lips are glued so firmly to Kasten's ass that he follows Kasten's vision to the letter.It could happen...

Well, Mrs. Rocket and I finally made it to a game together during the 2006 season. We bought a pair of $5 rollback tickets in Section 506 for Saturday's game and piled in the car to make the drive into DC from the hinterlands of Prince William County. I had gone to two previous...

What, you expect me to actually write something?!Seriously, good for the Nats. It sounds like a great hire. A young guy eager to prove himself, but also someone who already commands some respect - both in the Nats clubhouse and throughout baseball.I already can't wait for spring training.
I believe the children are our future, unless we stop them now!

Who would have imagined? The Nats two-hit the Braves and beat John Smoltz behind Jason Bergmann. (And of course, the Chief gives us all a heart attack nailing down the save in the ninth.)It's good to know the Nats can still make me smile.

It's bad enough that we have to witness the abomination that is interleague play, this weekend the Baltimore Orioles and their fans come to RFK. If you're going to the stadium this weekend, be sure you're up to date on your shots.And I hope the Nats aren't letting the...

One thing about having children I've always looked forward to is the joy of taking them to ballgame. And although she's too young to have appreciated it, Little Rockette made her debut at yesterday's rain-soaked slopfest of a ballgame at RFK.We planned this trip probably...

I think it's about time to stick a fork in this thing, don't you?The clearest sign of my lack of motivation and opportunity to blog is the fact I've been meaning to write this sine die post for over a month now!There's another reason too. For those of you who don'...

Before anyone asks: No, I was not in Miami yesterday. But if I was, I would have been thrown out too. Bastard probably deserved it. I would have thrown peanuts at him.And yes, it warms my cold little heart to see that my 2005 rants are the #2 result on a Google search of the bastard's name.

Robert:While on occasion Nats fans might secretly smile at your unabashed homerism or grin when you actually get off a good line (see the 6:24 mark on this video), this Nats fan would like to put you on notice as to the following:* When the Nationals score a run to cut the deficit...

So tonight, the graphic scoreboard on the Nationals broadcast read "O's/WSH."I really loathe the arrogance of refusing to refer to your own team by the city. But it's infuriating when it extends to the Nationals broadcast. And again, it's just a reminder that...

More MASN bullcrap, and another reminder that the Nationals still have the ugly hand of the ogre up north in their affairs.This is the Baltimore MASN broadcast...O's" and "WSH" are on the graphic scoreboard. Typical Baltimore "we're-a-regional-team"...
