I can honestly say I'm thrilled for Howie Kendrick...
He's been a favorite of mine since the early days with the Angels

a true "Professional Hitter" who's had to work his way into lineups by hitting his way in there

But the Wizards, as a franchise, are way more pathetic than the Redskins.

[CAA Flagship]

You are welcome 89

I wasn't quite as emphatic, but....

Something starting to feel a little special about the Nats this season. I had completely given up hope in May. Now they're having a lot of fun. They are back to must watch TV for me.

So you bailed on them when they weren't playing well?

Nobody cares about the Wiz, but...



Since 2004:

Wizards have been to the playoffs 8 times, winning 4 rounds

Redskins have been to the playoffs 4 times and are 1-4.

Here's a funny one. The Redskins beat the Lions in the 1991 NFC Championship Game. Since that game, every team in the NFC has made at least an appearance in the NFC Championship Game.... except the Redskins and Lions.

I would agree, always been a solid player, not a superstar, but teams need these type of winning players. Glad to see he is having his moment.

All week nobody wore Nat gear.


Today - a bunch of people of wearing hats and shirts. And several of them are Charlotte natives who appear to be bandwagonners. They usually show up to work the day after a championship wearing that teams shirts.

Do you think Bryce is wearing Nats gear?

I was at a Super Bowl, once upon a time, and the Redskins won.

Congrats Nats!

First baseball World Series Championship in DC since 1924.

[AshevilleApp]

Congratulations Nats! Not the outcome I wanted, but very well deserved.

Bizarre series with the visitors winning all 7 games. I think the baseball gods are pissed about the juiced ball, and took it out on the ticket holders.

That would have been that one.

Not only that none of the games ended real close.

That was a great swing by Kendrick. Nice pitcher's pitch at the knees and on the outside corner. As homers go, it was a cheapie, but as my old baseball coach use to say, "a cheap run counts as much as a run."

Cheapies a plenty in Houston. What a joke of a ballpark.

Good video. Glad they cut the awkward "Remember where you are" quotes from the Nats radio guy at the very end.

It's one of his regular tag lines. Never been a fan of that.

Charlie Slowes is one of the best in the business. I'm a bit biased, since he is an old college friend, although I haven't seen him in years. His call is being largely praised and I think deservedly so. It is an excellent call.

He did botch it. His tag line is "Remember where you are, so you'll remember where you were." That's not what he called. Problem is, he's used it a bunch... Scherzer's no-no, his 20 K game, I think Stras debut, Werth walk-off, etc... How the hell am I supposed to remember all those?

I see what you did there.

I know his tag line. I think it's kinda cool that he was so excited he blew his own tag line. As big as some other games were -- now this call will stand out.

It's overused.


Just like CNN overuses, "Breaking News". Something can't be "Breaking News" at 5PM if it's been known and discussed since the morning or night before.

[89Hen]

And don't get me wrong. I love me some Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler.

A signature line is never overused. It stamps the moment. When the Yankees win the World Series next year, I already know what John Sterling will say: "Ball game over. Wwwwoooorld Seeeeeries over! Yankees Win! Thhhhhhhe Yankees Win!!! For the 28th time, the New York Yankees have scaled every mountain, overcome every obstacle, and are the kings of baseball!"

Can't wait to hear it. That is what a signature line is all about.

When the Yankees win the World Series next year...

You're assuming the Astros won't make the playoffs?
