Tuesday, May 1st, 2012Guest blogger Mathew Brown returns to recap Bryce Harper’s arrival.
Bryce Harper made his Major League debut over the weekend. He collected two hits, one RBI, a walk, a sac fly and a K. He also made two memorable defensive plays. He was even better than I could have hoped for. In case you missed the [...]
Bryce Harper Plays Softball With The Common People (VIDEO)
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012Nats Enquirer, Big League Stew and the Bog are all over this, as they should be, as it’s Bryce Harper taking a few hacks on a softball diamond in the shadow of the Washington Monument. And the best part is, he actually whiffs before popping up to right field. Meaning, he’d probably bat near the [...]

Guest Column: Bryce Harper Is Here, Right Where He Should Be
Saturday, April 28th, 2012Bryce Harper’s arrival is too cool. Here to discuss is Mathew Brown.
Tonight, April 28, 2012, sometime around 9 p.m. ET, Bryce Harper will see his first Major League action. He will almost certainly fail. He’s not ready yet. And yet, I must admit, he shouldn’t be anywhere else.
The doubters out there are calling this a [...]
Ready or Not, Here Comes Bryce Harper
Friday, April 27th, 2012Some things move ahead of schedule. With the Nats currently in first place despite an anemic offense, the team’s brain trust decided it was time to give 19-year-old Bryce Harper a call. As The Washington Post reported, Harper will make his Major League debut tomorrow in Dodger Stadium. Harper joins the roster as Ryan Zimmerman [...]
Clueless Nats Fan Going Viral
Thursday, April 19th, 2012This fun little moment happened during the Nats home opener, and this video is bouncing around from Barstool Sports to BuzzFeed to Videogum and beyond, but I’m just seeing it now (via Sports Pickle). Wait for it …
Also, I would not have recognized John Popper without MASN tipping me off.
Nats Are NL’s First 10-Win Team, Which Is Historically Awesome
Thursday, April 19th, 2012The Nats won their 10th game in typically low-scoring fashion last night, making them the National League’s first team to hit that watermark. That’s impressive on its own, but take a look at how long it’s taken them to reach 10 wins in their previous seven seasons:
2012: April 18 — 13th game (10-3)
2011: April 24 [...]
The Secret Of Rick Ankiel’s Unbelievable Arm (VIDEO)
Tuesday, April 17th, 2012He used to be a pitcher.
The irony is he couldn’t throw strikes, so he became an outfielder, and now he’s hitting the mitt from 300 feet (video via D.C. Sports Bog):
“The writer Raymond Chandler once said, ‘When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.’ The baseball equivalent [...]
New Traditions In Natitude, Birdland And Rocking The Red
Monday, April 16th, 2012I’ve been mostly out of touch recently, and with so much happening with our four active teams I want to check in with everything all at once, so.
The Wiz are still flat-out awful. Not only are they threatening the franchise mark for futility (current winning percentage: .233; record-low percentage: .232), but this is their fourth [...]
Two Blown Calls Cost Nats A Win
Monday, April 16th, 2012The baseball season is long, boring and stupid (source: My wife). They play 162 games. How could one little game matter? Actually, it can! Look no further than just last season, where the Braves lost out on a playoff spot by one game to the eventual World Series champion Cardinals. Or in 2009, when the [...]
