So last night was Ladies Night at Nationals Park. The Nationals have had a Ladies Night for the past few years, and there are usually a couple per year, this being the first. For those of you who have not heard of this (where have you been?!), the Nationals offer a very good [...]

Ed. note (ie Kristen’s note)…dear God Danielle…I love you but you are crazy.
I am so very happy right now, except for the fact that I am sick (in both the head and the one that involves antibiotics) and Robert Fick plays games on the west coast so they end between...

I have to follow up Danielle’s Fick post with a simple request to vote for our third baseman for the All Stars. He’s better than Robert Fick (obviously), and a whole lot of other third basemen too. Thank you.
Vote for Zimmerman here.
Emma’s Hat

I adopted a dog a couple of weeks ago and named her Emma. Emma has a Nationals cap, and she actually doesn’t seem to mind wearing it. It’s not surprising with the level of my fandom that I bought her the hat. It’s not like Emma walked into the store, saw the [...]

Just when you need a break and take a night off, the Nats do something cool. They put a rookie on the mound who pitches a solid 6.1 innings and surrenders just 4 runs. The bullpen actually holds the Pirates scoreless. The Nats come from behind to get a lead. Joel Hanrahan records...

We are Craig Stammen fans in my family. He went to University of Dayton, the same school as my mom. We couldn’t miss the game last night to cheer on Craig and maybe a win. And we weren’t disappointed. He pitched a great game into the 7th inning and the bullpen didn’t blow it...
Final score, inconclusive

The Nats lost 5-2, but that outcome was hardly certain. The replay on MASN was pretty obvious. I’m still angry about it…
Which brings me to this conclusion: Instant replay is a waste of time.
What was the point again? To be more accurate? Eight minutes later, still...

I know it does and that we all express it differently. If you’ve hung around this long, you’ve passed any imaginable test of fandom. You’re in this for the long haul and someday it will have been worth it.

What Grace Would Have Thought

All good things come to an end. I just hate that it came to an end because of a wild pitch and a intentional walk.
It reminded me of something I read awhile back about Grace Coolidge, former First Lady. Grace was a huge baseball fan. She would often make President Coolidge attend [...]

I’m tired of West Coast games. Thankfully, Ryan Zimmerman keeps getting it done in the early innings, giving us at least the option of getting some sleep. Today, Zimmerman takes on Barry Zito, who is celebrating his 31st birthday, for consecutive hit #31.
Some odds and ends...

Something strange is happening this season. I’m trying to cheer for the Nats with low expectations in an attempt to save my soul during what looks to be another difficult season. So, on Saturday, I convinced myself to go to the game simply to get the cool Los Nacionales...

That right, I said it: I still love Joel Hanrahan.
Yes, he may have blown 3 out of 5 save opportunities but I don’t think it is time to fire him yet. Granted, part of my love for him comes from the fact that he is such a nice person, but I still believe he can [...]

Sometime last season, I got really tired of writing about brutal losses. How many ways can you say it? My mother got tired of reading me ranting and complaining, often reminding me that WGH was supposed to be a positive place. “If you don’t have anything nice to say...

From Ken Rosenthal:
One team that could emerge as a player for Martinez — if he is indeed willing to pitch for a lesser club — is Washington.
Martinez would be a draw for the Nats, who are 3-11 and struggling to build a fan base. He is well-acquainted with Nationals manager Manny...
