After many years of wanting to, I finally followed the Washington Nationals to Pittsburgh for their annual series against the Pirates in beautiful PNC Park. I made it to the Saturday game. The Racing Presidents were there too for the Great Pierogie Race (Let Teddy Win).
The series went down just as Sam predicted it would [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Washington Nationals continued their strong start at Nationals Park, beating the Chicago White Sox, 5-2. Jordan Zimmermann pitched efficiently, giving up 2 runs over 7 innings. He threw only 90 pitches. He also escaped danger — comebackers and broken bats and was typically nonchalant about it. Another good performance for the [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Yesterday morning, I wondered if Teddy would finally win the President’s Race:
I’d like to think that clinching the division and heading to the playoffs is sufficient motivation to end this on the final day of the season. From my perspective, having him win in the playoffs takes attention away from the achievements [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The 2012 Washington Nationals regular season came to a close with 5-1 beatdown of the rival Philadelphia Phillies. Behind Edwin Jackson’s six strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings of 1-run ball, the Nats won their 98th game of the season, exceeding everyone’s expectations. Home runs by Ryan Zimmerman, Tyler Moore and Michael [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A day after Bryce Harper lost a ball in the sun, prompting him to note that the Sun Monster was out, the Washington Nationals capitalized on a similar gaffe.
In the fourth, Jayson Werth doubled when Brewers CF Carlos Gomez lost the ball to the “Sun Monster.” The really opened up the flood [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The first game of the 140th season of Yale (1-0) football was a thrilling back and forth battle with the Georgetown Hoyas (2-1) at venerable Multi-Sport Field. The game was not decided until Colin Bibb intercepted an Aaron Aiken pass in the end zone with 33 seconds remaining.

WASHINGTON, D.C. The Washington Nationals continued their rebound from a terrible road trip with another eight run outburst last night. The visiting St. Louis Cardinals could only muster a mere unearned run as the Nats cruised to a 8-1 win.
Edwin Jackson had 10 strikeouts over 8 innings, most of them in the first three [...]
The Washington Nationals just swept the San Francisco Giants, leading to many people suggesting a weather and Nats correlation and perhaps, even causation.
THURSDAY
Throwbacks! (Uni-Watch) Dressed as the 1924 Washington Senators, the Nats defeated the “New York Giants” on a walk-off fielders choice? Adam LaRoche hit a double-play ball, but the Giants first baseman couldn’t handle [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — I bicycled to Nationals Park, met my dad, and then watched the Washington Nationals struggle mightily against New York Mets knuckleball pitcher R.A. Dickey, possibly the “the Most Interesting Man in Baseball” (The Post). In 7 1/3 innings, a mere handful of balls hit by D.C. (mostly in the 8th inning) reached [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Perhaps the “problem” of going to baseball games for those who blog about them, particularly ones that end at 11:23 p.m., is that the blogger really does not have time to write about them. Here we are, some 13+ hours removed from the Washington Nationals win over the New York Mets last [...]
