Sunday, June 13th, 20101. We get to do this every fifth day. This is just setting in now, and it is awesome. Case in point, this was the first time I’ve recorded a Nats game. Appointment programming! Let’s do it again Friday!
2. He didn’t have the good stuff. The fastball wasn’t hitting triple-digits, the curveball wasn’t falling off [...]
10 Observations From Strasburg’s Debut
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010The last regular season baseball game I was this excited for wasn’t Opening Night at Nats Park or the Nats’ first game at RFK, no. It was probably 2,131, when Cal took a lap around Camden. Stephen Strasburg’s spectacular debut surpassed even that, which is saying something. Check out his unbelievable line, laid over the [...]
Scenes From Strassy’s Would-Be Debut
Sunday, June 6th, 2010Texted words and pics from Mr. Irrelevant Maryland sports correspondent Andy Peden, who attended Friday night’s Nats-Reds game, which had been widely speculated to be Stephen Strasburg’s debut. He can be seen here modeling our red Strasburg 11:58:43 t-shirt behind home plate.
I would say there had to be 32,000 or so there. Most of the [...]
DMV: Knight Replaces Dibble, Goes Crazy
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010MASN has Ray Knight providing color for the Houston series, and he’s doing a fine job, at least compared to Rob Dibble. But someone should probably advise him to lay off the telestrator dong. [Nationals Enquirer]
Nats lose second straight, set up “must win” matinee today. [WaPo]
Another guess at what a Nats deal for Oswalt looks [...]
DMV: Lance Berkman Went, Goddamnit
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010The 3B ump ruled that Berkman didn’t go on that 1-2 pitch with two outs in the 9th, and the next pitch was knocked into leftfield for a walk-off basehit. [@MrIrrelevantDC, D.C. Sports Bog]
Of course, that bad call wasn’t the only reason the Nats lost. [WaPo]
Roy Oswalt would waive his no-trade clause for the Nats. [...]
Fashion Fail: The ‘Oriolionals’ T-Shirt
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010Spotted on MASN’s broadcast of today’s Nats-O’s game, which ended on a Josh Willingham walk-off to win the series. As we said last year about the O’s-colored Nats hat, “Hey, I like both teams too, but, yeah, no.”
Rob Dibble Isn’t Going to Quit; MASN Is Going to Have to Fire Him
Monday, May 17th, 2010You may recall our post last week illustrating Rob Dibble’s wrongheadedness when it comes to arguing with umps. Or maybe you saw Dan Steinberg’s post on the same subject. Or maybe you’re just stopping by, unaware of Dibble’s propensity for vehemently disagreeing with borderline calls only to be disproved by his own telecast’s Pitch Track [...]
Rob Dibble Is the Absolute Worst
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010Quote and screen cap from MASN’s broadcast of today’s Nats-Mets game:
“This is below the knees on Bernadina. It’s brutal. Brutal strike zone today. Here’s the pitch right here, below the strike zone.” — Rob Dibble
And lest you think we’re picking on Dibble by putting just one pitch under the microscope, not a game goes by [...]
Dale Hunter Is Partying Like It’s 1988
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Recommended reading, here: Steinz revisits 1988 Caps-Flyers Game 7 with TV photography, including this shot of Dale Hunter swigging a brew Diet Coke after his series-clinching goal:
I’m in-market for a Caps sweater. My dad has Langway and my brother Ovechkin, so I was leaning towards Backstrom. But, yeah, Hunter it is.
Bonus: Video of that glorious [...]
Michigan St. Kicks Maryland in the Teeth
Sunday, March 21st, 2010That would be Michigan State’s Raymar Morgan missing a tooth thanks to Maryland’s Adrian Bowie, but it was the Spartans who did the metaphorical kicking with a game-winning three at the buzzer after Greivis Vasquez had nailed a would-be game-winner with six seconds left to bring Maryland all the way back from 16 down in [...]
