Waiting for the next team to breakthrough. Nats, Caps, Hokies, Commanders and Mystics mostly.

Someone finally beat the Bob Hendley Jayson Werth send in the NLDS

That run from Tatís is pure home field advantage. The extra adrenaline from the crowd gave him the second he needed to make it.

Post-hype Padres winning this year would be pretty funny

It's funny how much of a hold '96-'03 has on my imagination as a baseball fan because I still think of the Yankees as the big bad and the Red Sox as the rootable underdogs even though the Red Sox have been significantly more successful over the last 15 years.

The microgeneration of nostalgia for the single wild card game and the 4-team College Football Playoff in 20 years is going to be so funny

I thought I'd have a lot to say about the Women's World Road Race Championship and the Demi Vollering-Kasia Niewiadoma rivalry, and little to say about the men's race. Then Brandon McNulty and Team USA delivered a perfect, gutsy victory on Sunday. I haven't felt this alive watching sports in years.

"Winningest manager" is a bizarre way to say "guy who has managed twice as many games as any other DBacks manager and is 4th in winning percentage among them"

Matt Stafford apparently decided he was a decade younger on that last play

What I've never understood is why one ref does not overrule the other on pass interference more often. The ref in front should have been able to see the receiver was grabbing the cornerback to induce the contact and call that off.

An extremely elaborate plan from Stafford to trick the Broncos defense into overcommitting to interceptions and giving up big plays

I know he won the game but the Ravens players seemed extra excited for Loop after how last season ended. That was really cool to see.

Remember that brief moment when Texas A&M fans thought their team was for real and they finally found a good coach last year? That was hilarious.

Early looked good, Irvin looked like his usual crap, hopefully only one of them will be here next year.

A Verlander Tigers jersey is the only non-Nats baseball jersey I still own. I once drove 11 hours round trip from Blacksburg to Baltimore just to watch him pitch. Twenty one years is a long fucking time.

I know Luke Reynolds is good but I think the play-by-play may be inaccurate.
4-yd Pass

(01:29) No Huddle-Shotgun #85 L.Reynolds pass complete short right to #85 L.Reynolds caught at BC 40, for 4 yards to the BC 39 (#32 C.Comella), 1ST DOWN

I get to see Connelly Early's Nats debut. You could say I'll be getting an Early look at next year's team.

Good piece. I appreciate the undercurrent that everyone in that building — to include many of the writers — hated the last regime. www.nytimes.com/athletic/762...

MLB’s youngest manager has exceeded expectations. So why can’t he be happy? (Gift Article)
Blake Butera led the Nationals to a surprisingly competitive year. Now he wonders if his hate of losing will help or hurt him in the future.

The number one storyline on the field for the WPBL has been how far ahead the hitting has been versus the pitching so this is a ridiculous turn of events.

From some cursory googling this appears to have been 4 other baseball stadiums named Fifth Third at one point so the Tigers' should be referred to as Fifth Fifth Third.

Nats could have an interesting rotation heading into 2027 before any offseason additions with Cavalli, Early, Alvarez, Herz and Gray. I think to be a serious contender they'd still want to upgrade at least one of those, but it's a lot better than this year's start.

Feet clearly inbounds, he lands on the marker and dropping the ball doesn't matter because he already caught it.

It's impressive that Lane Kiffin has been such an unrepentant asshole that he's made Trinidad Chambliss, who got a ridiculous court order to make him eligible this year, into a lovable underdog.

Luke Reynolds is going to be in the pantheon of really good white tight ends who also become cult heroes because he 1) has long hair and 2) more importantly, has a first name with an "oooooooooooh" vowel sound
