Nats: Mr. Walkoff returns! Ryan Zimmerman’s grand slam beats Phillies 8-4

Yesterday, I was thinking about how pathetic Ryan Zimmerman’s Walk-Off total was in 2011. Foolishly, I didn’t tweet it, Facebook it, etc.
The Washington Nationals scored two runs in ninth and loaded the bases. Zimmerman had a 3-2 count with two outs in the bottom of the ninth with , game tied with Ryan [...]

Hey Nats, how about a little recognition for coming up with the Mr. Walkoff nickname

Next week, the final Washington Nationals T-Shirt Tuesday giveaway features a Mr. Walkoff t-shirt. Being that I created the Mr. Walkoff nickname for Ryan Zimmerman back on Opening Night at Nationals Park in 2008, perhaps we should have a little talk. Clearly, this is a pretty good nickname as there have been others who thought [...]

Did you know Ryan Zimmerman is more than halfway to the walk-off record?

On The Early Lead, Cindy Boren notes that Minnesota Twins slugger Jim Thome, has tied the all-time record for walk-off home runs with Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial, Frank Robinson and Babe Ruth.

TimesEver since I assigned Ryan Zimmerman the nickname of Mr. Walkoff seconds after he beat the Atlanta Braves on Nationals Park Opening Night in 2008, he had not won a game with a walkoff home run. That streak, along with [...]

Opening Night thoughts

Metro was very crowded on the way in, but efficient.
I like the walk down Half Street with the balloons and all the bunting. Everything looks good on Opening Day/Night.
Security lines were not bad when we went through.
I walked around the stadium taking photographs, which I will upload tonight. Some seats have Capitol dome views, while [...]

Ryan Zimmerman is Mr. Walkoff

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ryan Zimmerman sent a telegram to the baseball world this evening: “I am Mr. Walkoff.” The fourth-year third baseman did with a ninth inning solo home run into the left field seats. His homer won the first game at Nationals Park for the home team. This may be even better than [...]

Four in a row on the fourth

Learning Curve Skips Ahead – The Post3B Ryan Zimmerman’s second walkoff homer in a month won a sloppy game for the Nationals. The shot bailed out a tough game for 2B Jose Vidro, who was bad at the plate (0-5) and in the field (2 errors). It also made the decision to pinch-run with P [...]
