Strasburg beefs with Scherzer after being knocked out by Braves.

Actually, not sure how big a beef it actually looks like on the video.

They went into the clubhouse and started throwing hands.

Still holding out hope that the Nats go totally in the tank and trade us Harper at the deadline

Jayson Werth retired in June. He was trying to work his way back to the majors with the Mariners. There is a hot DC rumor that the Nats put him on their wall of fame September 8.

I can magically get there in 20 minutes, or hours (with the new 66 pay to play gambit I need to figure that out too). The train is a wreck as it is both slow as crap, and there seems to be zero capacity planning for things like game day. The only upside is that if I take it, I get on at the end of the line and then suffer. I am completely serious about people missing the first 1.5-2 innings, and streaming out starting in the bottom of the 7th. Its pretty crazy.


That's how it used to work for LA baseball crowds (is it still like that?). Traffic in both cities are murderous and public transit options are sub-optimal.

Passan says the team is gauging interest in Madson, Herrera and Shawn Kelley just in case they decide to sell at the deadline

They have such an easy schedule before the deadline that if they lose 4 of 5 or something like that they probably should sell.

What would Ryan Madson do if he were here right now... he'd get some lube and he'd follow through, that's what Ryan Madson would do

Two? Try again. :) count data centers and it’s like 10 with 2 more on the way. 2 offices in Herndon.

Anyway, AWS powers mlb.com, so they watch free w/o needing to go downtown.

Loudoun is getting a minor league soccer club, maybe they can make good on getting that minor-league baseball team too. What would it take to get to Harrisburg Senators to come down Route 15 to Loudoun?

Zimmerman is the new ExpoNats franchise leader in hits, passing Tim Wallach
