I used to work in Federal government, and I enjoyed the time spent with a great bunch of people. The Nationals are teaming up with the Partnership for Public Service to honor federal employees the May 24th game against the Brewers. If you’d like to go, you can get $5 off tickets if you purchase [...]

There I was standing outside my office building chatting with the building maintenance guy and enjoying some sun after a waterlogged week, when what to my wondering eyes does appear but a man walking by in a black track suit (with white stripes if you must know). Blond hair. Familiar face. My brain did that [...]

Some cool stuff happened at the game. As mentioned, since it wasn’t our turn in the season ticket pool, we bought a Sunday family four-pack, with our seats being in section 226. We considered dugout box seats, but for a family of 4, that would have been $300 + convenience fees. You think the Lerners [...]

That was me screaming in the 8th inning yesterday when Luis Ayala gave up the tying home run to Jeremy Hermida. The scream’s echo reverberated a few batters later when Dan Uggla hit the go-ahead home run, again off Ayala. The game had been humming along so smoothly up until that point with the Nats [...]

Today’s the day I get breakfast in bed and a singing card, and also the day MLB players honor their mothers and support the Susan G. Komen For The Cure by swinging pink bats. Wow, for the second year in a row, we’re playing the Marlins on Mother’s day. Of course, last year we swept [...]

[Photoset] And apparently so are changeups! So if Barry Svrluga thought Friday night’s game was the most boring, I wonder what he’d say about last night’s 11-0 pounding by the Marlins? Oops, I forgot he’s not writing about Nats anymore! Today’s gamer, brought to you by the new Post beat writer, Chico Harlan, focuses on [...]

Whew, it takes a long time (3 weeks?!) to edit one hour of video into less than 10 minutes without any support staff! Anyway, here’s a glimpse of what fans can expect to see and experience during a Nationals Park tour. Tours, available on non-game days, cost $15 and tickets should be purchased in advance. [...]

All Weekend (Metro): Due to track work on the Green line, fans leaving after the game should avoid the Navy Yard Metro and take the free shuttle provided by Metro to either Federal Triangle (Blue/Orange Line), Union Station (Red Line), or Eastern Market (Blue/Orange Line). You can also skip Metro and purchase single game parking [...]

… to work on his laugh (bud-um bum!) [This snark gem brought to you by the genius of Mr. Chatter - told ya I can’t come up with stuff like that on my own] I kid because I love! Apparently Rob Mack is a homie, also growing up in the Chicago area. During his sideline [...]

Nice Girls Finish Last Didn’t mean to scare anyone - I just needed some time off to refine my direction here and revamp the site to fit in the advertising that’s going to make me millions (of fractions of pennies) and keep me swathed in fancy photo equipment! Honestly, I had been kicking around the idea [...]

RIP Capitol Punishment. Taking a break myself while I sort some stuff out about what I want to do here moving forward (if I do). Read any of the boatload of Nats blogs listed to the right —>

[Photoset] (checks breath to see if it was a hint) Well, technically he gave me two toothbrushes since it was a two-pack. And some undershirts (guess I’ll give those to Mr. Chatter), a wrist exerciser, a bunch of DVDs, a luggage set, and an iPod Shuffle! Too cool! I guess I should go on a [...]

Wow. Wow. Just Wow. [Photoset] I’m not sure if I’m more in love with my new camera (can I call myself a photographer now?) or the gumption the Nats have shown in the last handful of games. Totally check out the photoset! It’s the best yet! The training wheels comment was actually meant for me, but [...]

But now after seeing Buzz Bissinger stereotype and attack blogs, I don’t think I’ll ever watch it again! Nah, I’m reasonable and can separate the show from the writer. I mean, if they ever air anymore episodes. (Warning: video has strong language). King Kaufman is awesome. Former Nationals are getting cut left and right around the league. [...]

Yay! I finally attended a winning game, although it had a somewhat downer ending when Chad Cordero halted pitching in the top of the 9th with a four run lead to summon the trainer. I was dying to know what happened? His shoulder tendinitis? Worse? Being without a radio or any updates was killer. We [...]

Hey, look at that! I was planning on posting about the duo of backup-backup catcher Wil Nieves (Ice Cream) and pitcher John Lannan (American Hero) and it turns out today is Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day! While Wil Nieves may be the “flavor of the month” as someone said somewhere, maybe the flavor [...]

I love that song by Coldplay and after just hearing it, seemed an appropriate title for this post. My mom and I had very opposite emotions attending last night’s game. She was ecstatic to see the place transformed into Wrigley Field East, noting there were more Cubs fans everywhere from the Metro to inside Nationals [...]

(Sorry new guy, Ben!) I would really like to see this: Dukes has started to take batting practice while running on a treadmill to test his leg. That’s gotta be hard! I’m visually trying to imagine it - the placement of the treadmill in relation to the pitching machine… If only I were talented with Photoshop! Ok, seriously, [...]

We all scream for Ice Cream!! What a game! Despite being a die-hard Nationals fan, I found my allegiances tested last night strictly due to birth and a well-etched upbringing in a Cubbie household. I was horrified to find myself cheering when a Nat was thrown out or struck out or a Cub laced a hit. [...]

It’s amazing what a good game can do for the spirits! By the middle of the 5th inning, the Nationals were trailing the Mets 3-0 after being pecked for a run against Shawn Hill three innings in a row and the game was looking like another downer. Shawn Hill’s second start of the [...]
