The D.C. portion of the Battle of the Beltways has concluded with a split. The Washington Nationals lost game 1, badly, and then rocked the Baltimore Orioles last night 9-3. In other words, the Nats are playing about the same as they always do this season.

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 [...]
I go out to get my wife a birthday present and find out that Adam LaRoche has signed a 2 year deal to remain with the Washington Nationals. The first baseman had a strong 2012 after an injury-filled, shortened 2011 season.
Hey, a local Nats beat writer even broke the news!

Isn’t it something how a blogger isn’t motivated to jump out of bed and write after a loss?
The Washington Nationals lost game 2 of the NLDS to the St. Louis Cardinals, 12-4. That and the fact that tomorrow’s game 3, the first playoff game in D.C. since the 1933 World Series is at 1 p.m. [...]
Remember on Tuesday night when the Washington Nationals hit six home runs off the Chicago Cubs?
At Nats Park w wife/friends. Said:”Too bad, we missed 1st 6 HR-game in D.C. MLB history since 1901. It was LAST nite.” So they did it again.

History, it seems, is being made daily by the 2012 Washington Nationals.
#Nats 5 HR tonight is a record for any D.C. ballclub in a home game. That’s at Griffith Stadium, RFK Stadium, Nationals Park.

After Tyler Clippard blew his first save of the year (wiping out Ross Detwiler’s excellent scoreless outing) the Washington Nationals had to come back against the New York Mets in the bottom of the 9th. They did, tying it at 3 (Danny Espinosa with the RBI single) but couldn’t get more.
In the 10th, the Mets [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A few scenes from Saturday night’s Washington Nationals – Baltimore Orioles batting practice which I got to attend…
Adam LaRoche in the cage — who’d have thought he would be carrying the Nats so far? While in the community outreach portion of Blogger Day, we learned he has been very involved with the [...]
BeltwayLand was sad yesterday after the godfather of go-go Chuck Brown died (The Post). There was plenty of speculation on Twitter about how and whether the Washington Nationals would honor Brown. In the past, “Bustin’ Loose” was played after home runs. When I heard about Brown’s passing, I tweeted this:
I’d like to see the #Nats [...]
Stephen Strasburg struck out 13 and the Washington Nationals came back to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-2. Strasburg got out of a jam in the sixth after he walked 3 in a row. I hope he’s okay.
Here is a fun exchange from the top of the sixth inning:
Me: Roger Bernadina just homered!
Wife: Who? Who?

Wife:That’s [...]
Good hands.
This looks easy, it isn’t like it’s a throw to first or anything
Don’t expect to see Terence Stamp who played baddie General Zod in the 1978 and 1980 Superman movies on line to see the new blockbuster Man of Steel.
