Nats take White Sox series with 5-2 win, go for sweep tonight

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.

Nats: Teddy finally wins Presidents Race

Mets win Dickey vs. Wang matchup; Nats head to Boston to face Red Sox

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 [...]

Chico Escuela still gets his due from Mets fans

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Generally speaking, I’m not a big fan of wearing another man’s name on your back. However, I’ll say this New York Mets fan is doing it right (with the exception of the headspoon jersey instead of blue pinstripes).
Chico Escuela (just audio) is and always will be my favorite Mets player. I think [...]

Nats: Charlie Slowes says he’s not in the final year of his contract

WASHINGTON, D.C. —On Saturday evening, I briefly talked to Washington Nationals radio play-by-play broadcaster Charlie Slowes during batting practice.
