There’s a scene in the 1992 movie “A League of Their Own” where catcher Dottie Hinson, played by Gina Davis, her younger sister Kit and their future teammate Marla Hooch first set foot on the warning track of the fictional Harvey Field for the first-ever All-American Girls Baseball League tryouts.

‘W Is for Werth’ courtesy of ‘Kevin H.’ There was a call to action from fans at Saturday’s Nats U clinic at the ballpark – stop booing Jayson Werth. That call to action couldn’t have come at a better time seeing as a few fans decided it was better to chant “Jayson Werthless” directed toward [...]

‘Jayson Werth, where is you’re head at?!?’ courtesy of ‘Tony DeFilippo’ Jayson Werth, the focus of so much agonized discussion among Washington Nationals fans over the last few weeks, didn’t get the big hit in this 4th of July thriller. But he did score the winning run, drove in two more, walked twice, and helped [...]

‘IMG_0682′ courtesy of ‘Lane 4 Imaging’ What is the best thing for a team that has gone through a traumatic week it after having to replace the manager and then suffer through a terrible road trip, culminating in a sweep 3000 miles away? A win. That wish was fulfilled in Davey Johnson’s first home game [...]
More »Padres Small Ball Better Than Nats, Take Rubber Match 5-4
‘Washington Nationals’ courtesy of ‘Keith Allison’ A scrappy game was played between two scrappy teams at Nats Ball Park on Sunday afternoon with the Padres proving to be the scrappiest of the bunch on the weekend, taking the rubber match 5-4 and the weekend series two games to one. The Nats and the Padres are [...]
More »Nats Can’t Score, Marlins Win 1-0
‘Livan 3′ courtesy of ‘afagen’ The Nationals needed a hero in the bottom of the ninth to secure a victory against the Florida Marlins Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, no heroics came to fruition and Washington dropped the contest 1-0. Marlins right-handed pitcher Leo Nunez walked Jayson Werth to lead off the ninth inning and gave up a single [...]

‘Nat’s-Phillies Marquis’ Premiere’ courtesy of ‘Tony DeFilippo’ It’s safe to say that any team facing Tim Lincecum and the world champion San Francisco Giants this season needs to take care when playing against such a strong competitor. But, for whatever reason, when the Washington Nationals face Lincecum … well, that’s a horse of a different color. [...]
More »Burnett Implodes, Mets Beat Nats 6-3
’9TH’ courtesy of ‘MissChatter’ At the start of Wednesday’s game between the Nationals and Mets in Washington, the Nats bullpen had a 3.29 ERA. When compared to the 2010 equivalent that posted the fifth best bullpen ERA in Major League Baseball at 3.35, that 3.29 is an improvement. But after left-handed reliever Sean Burnett’s ninth [...]
More »Ramos hits a couple dingers but Nats dropped by Mets 6-4
’2ND’ courtesy of ‘MissChatter’ There is only so much that Wilson Ramos can do for the Nats. He catches pitches, he does not pitch. He has one bat, not eight. His glove is made for catching fastballs, not tracking down dying quails in the outfield. Yet, he did what he could on Tuesday night for [...]
More »Werth gives cold Nats 4-3 win over Brewers in extra innings
’1ST’ courtesy of ‘MissChatter’ There was no heat at Nationals Park on Friday night. Game time temperature was 56 degrees, decreasing with the breeze and as the sun went down. It was colder than the press box at Verizon Center where the Caps were taking on the Rangers in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference [...]
More »Zimmerman to 15-day DL
‘Zimmerman Wins It’courtesy of ‘Max Cook’ This was not the news the Nationals needed. Ben Goessling of MASN has the full word, but yesterday’s absence in the lineup in New York appears to be the tip of the iceberg for the face of the Nationals’ franchise. Without Zim, the Nats are going with Alex Cora [...]

’7TH’ courtesy of ‘MissChatter’ One swing of Rick Ankiel’s bat made John Lannan and the Nationals winners for the first time in 2011 on Saturday as Washington beat the Braves 6-3 in a soggy affair at Nationals Park. Ankiel took a 91 mile-per-hour four-seam fastball from Braves starter Tommy Hanson to right field above the [...]

’1ST_4709′ courtesy of ‘MissChatter’ Cherry blossoms have come to D.C. and with them the idea that it should be Spring here in the nation’s capital. Yet, the weather does not seem to agree with a patina of chill and frost still clinging to the ground every morning as we wait for the bright sun and [...]
More »Spring Training through the eyes of the fans
Spring Training is always an optimistic time in baseball. Fresh off a cold winter, and usually full of fresh faces, it’s easiest to have hope for even the most doomed club. Look at the throngs that travel from Chicago to Mesa, Arizona to HoHoKam Park and swear that this will finally be the year for [...]
