IT WAS OUR YEAR

June 9, 2018.Reading time 11 minutes.

Okay so back in 2017, I casually wrote that it was the Capitals year, which ended up not being the Capitals year in typical Capitals fashion. Flash forward to 2018, the Capitals had a very average year. So far gone are the days of run and gun hockey, leading the league in goal differential, and […]

Ryan Zimmerman, DC GOAT

August 10, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

Ryan Zimmerman, who just became the franchise leader of home runs hit a few weeks ago, has been in DC for as long as I (and most people) can remember. And while he has been one of the premier baseball players in a Nationals uniform, last season was definitely a year for him to forget. His batting […]

The 7th Inning Stretch with Dan Kolko

June 16, 2017.Reading time 16 minutes.

Any baseball organization is made up of many different parts from the management, to the players, to the staff both game day and front office, just to name a few. I think one of the most overlooked part of any baseball family is its broadcasters. Most fans never really notice how great the talent is […]

Baseball is Boring, They Said.

May 29, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

Before we get to the “action” we have to acknowledge that Tanner Roark pitched seven shut out innings, the Nationals bullpen showed some grit, including Shawn Kelley pitching out of a bases loaded 8th and Koda Glover with his nasty slider. On the Giants end, Matt Moore looked pretty good as well, although the final […]

The 7th Inning Stretch with David Ledbetter

May 5, 2017.Reading time 15 minutes.

Professional athletes are subjected to all sorts of stereotypes, some truer than others. Often you hear that there’s always that hot shot (who thinks his stuff doesn’t stink and to be fair it often does not), the utility guy (who is not the best hitter but helps the team immensely otherwise), good baseball IQ guy […]

Ugh, Tim Tebow.

March 28, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

Okay, so when news of Tim Tebow signed to the Mets, my reaction was vaguely similar to all of people here. Pretty much: And then I had a minute where I thought, “Alright, let us not get too hasty to snap judgments, let us see what is about to unfold.” I thought to myself, […]

Shatt-All In- Kirk

March 3, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

Trade deadlines, next to a Game 7, is the day where fans are filled with the most anxiety at any given point of the season. “Who is my team going to give up?” “Where is (such and such) going?” “OMG WHAT ARE WE DOING!? Well the Capitals gave us one of those reactions this year […]

Bittersweet Goodbye

March 2, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

Major League Baseball is the oldest of the 4 major professional sports leagues, and there is no doubt that they have changed the game in many ways since its inception in 1869. With that being said, the recent changes to the MLB rules have definitely made many people scratch their heads. Following the idea to […]

The 7th Inning Stretch: Alex Katz

February 17, 2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

Every Major League Baseball team has 25 various players on the team at any given time. When they can expand the roster, they add 15 more players. Those are the people that you see on your TV every day and those are the players you get to know. But when you really think about an […]

It’s the Capitals’ Year

February 12, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

Okay, so maybe it isn’t, hopefully it is, but . Being a DC Sports fan, every year we are seduced by this tremendous, almost historically good regular season team whether it is baseball or hockey. And every year we have our hearts ripped from our chests in disappointment when that team loses within the early […]
