Heroic beer vendor Emmanuel Marlow had the best week in Natstown

The last week has been a rough one for Washington Nationals fans. After taking 2 of 3 from the Philadelphia Phillies last weekend, they took game 1 of the Arizona Diamondbacks series a week ago tonight and have not won since. That yesterday’s loss included a short Jordan Zimmerman start (his last of the [...]

Detwiler pitches well, but Nats rally falls short in 2-1 loss to Reds

Yesterday morning, I had a little twitter conversation with a college classmate, Kyle, about the Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds series:
@doubleuefwhy: Nats won game 1 of the #Reds series which means they probably lose the next 2, right? http://ow.ly/65kju Also, DINGUHZ
@NLP49: @doubleuefwhy If it’s a close game Nats will win. Reds far back of [...]

Nats win first game of series which means they probably lose the next two, right?

Awesome, the Washington Nationals beat the Cincinnati Reds last night, 6-4. Chien Ming Wang got the win, despite giving up a lot of fly balls because he was “too strong” and his sinker wouldn’t sink (The Post) and 4 runs. Ryan Zimmerman (who called it in the dugout according to The Wash. Examiner) and Michael [...]

Livan makes it fun to be a Nats fanboy

I don’t think I show ambiguity when it comes Washington Nationals pitcher Liván Hernández — I’m in the tank for the guy. Part of it is nostalgia — ¡LIVAN! was the first man to throw a pitch for the Nats in 2005, both on Opening Day and the first D.C. Home Opener in 34 years. [...]

Nats at Reds at 12:35

We finally get Washington Nationals game during the workday again. They finish their series at the Cincinnati Reds at 12:35 p.m. I’ll be listening on MLB Gameday. The regular TV channel (that your office probably doesn’t get) has the telecast and WFED 1500 AM has the radio play-by-play.

Take that Pete Rose! Strasburg merely pitches OK, Nats beat Reds 8-5

Last night Washington Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg was taunted (The Post) by a knowledgeable Cincinnati Reds fan (CSN Washington) as he left the mound after 5 2/3 innings and 3 runs. The now 22-year old’s response — “scoreboard.” Good answer Stasburg, good answer. Even better was that his teammates had given him 7 runs of [...]

Take that Fidel! Nats add another Cuban defector, Yuneski Maya

There was a legend that Fidel Castro was scouted by the Washington Senators (Snopes) but didn’t make the cut, leading to countless “what if” scenarios. It didn’t happen of course, but I seem to recall The Simpsons mentioning it once.
While Castro failing in his bid to play for a D.C. team would have made the [...]

Please Nats, start playing better before training camp starts

The Washington Nationals have not exactly stormed out of the gate after the All-Star Break. After opening the second part of the season with a Stephen Strasburg led 4-0 win over the Florida Marlins, the Nats have scored all of 2 runs in three games. Both of those runs came in last night’s 7-2 to [...]

Bad PR for the Nats if Strasburg doesn’t start on June 4

Big fanboy defends and warns Nats about Strasburg debut.
