Stat Line Of The Night — 9/20/11 — Ross Detwiler
More often than not we feature a star player in their respective sport on our daily “Stat Line of the Night.” That should come as no surprise, as putting up big numbers on a daily basis is what makes most of those players the big name stars they have become. However, every once in a [...]

The Nats Rookies Dressed Up As Smurfs Yesterday (Video)
If you were walking down the streets of New York yesterday and saw some blue-skinned characters, don’t be afraid. Everything you witnessed in the movie Avatar is not about to take place in real life. Instead, those blue characters you witnessed were rookies currently playing with the Washington Nationals, who were in town to take [...]

The Marlins’ Logan Morrison Was Attacked By A Praying Mantis Last Night (Video)
Nothing was going to throw the Florida Marlins batters off their game last night. Not Washington Nationals starter Ryan Zimmerman. Not the 24,650 fans in attendance at Nationals Park. And certainly not a praying mantis. The latter made its way into the Marlins dugout in the top of the ninth inning, but even an attack [...]

Here Is A Compilation Of The Two Crazy Walk-Off Wins From The Fourth Of July (Video)
The Fourth of July fireworks were going off yesterday afternoon at Nationals Park and U.S. Cellular Field, thanks to some rather wild endings that gave both the Washington Nationals and the Chicago White Sox victories on America’s 235th birthday.

John Wall’s Opening Pitch May Be The Worst Opening Pitch In The History Of Opening Pitches (Video)
John Wall can dribble and shoot with the best of them, but luckily for him his ability to throw a ball wasn’t tested prior to the 2010 NBA Draft, else the first-overall pick likely would have fallen out of the first round. Wall was asked to throw out the opening pitch prior to Friday’s game [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 5/31/11 — Danny Espinosa
Entering last night’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Washington Nationals had lost six straight against their division rivals. They were looking to break out of that losing streak and they did so in a big way, thanks to the hot bat of Danny Espinosa. The Nats’ second baseman terrorized Phillies starter Cliff Lee to [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 5/23/11 — Corey Hart
We could have easily given this “Stat Line of the Night” to “Disco” Dirk Nowitzki for scoring 40 points and dancing all over the Oklahoma City Thunder’s NBA championship hopes last night, but we simply could not ignore the performance put forth by the Milwaukee Brewers’ Corey Hart yesterday afternoon. Hart had yet to hit [...]

Picture Of The Day: Telestrator Dong!
It has been a while since we last brought you the glorious sight of a telestrator dong, but the wait is over. This one comes from Sunday’s game between the San Francisco Giants and the Washington Nationals. I’m not quite sure what the broadcasting crew at CSN saw in the press box at Nationals Park, [...]

Bryce Harper Almost Started His First Pro Bench Clearing Brawl Last Night (Video)
Bryce Harper, one of the most highly touted baseball prospects ever and the Washington Nationals 2010 first overall draft pick, has yet to play a game in the big leagues, but that hasn’t stopped him from making a few enemies at the pro level. Among those enemies is West Virginia Power starting pitcher Tyler Waldron, [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 9/14/10 — Derek Lowe
On the morning after a Monday night, the obvious place to look for a great stat line are the football games, right? Not last night, as both games did not produce any spectacular performances (outside of the defenses, which did step up big). In baseball, however, the Atlanta Braves got a much needed win on [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 9/6/10 — Danny Espinosa
Rookie Danny Espinosa was called up to the big league squad for the Washington Nationals just last week when rosters were expanded. As well as he was playing in Triple-A, no one including himself thought that he was going to be having games like this so early in his major league career. His huge night [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 6/8/10 — Stephen Strasburg
It’s being called the most hyped Major League debut by many people in and around baseball. Just take a look for yourself, however.

Stephen Strasburg Baseball Card Inexplicably Going for Over $10,000 on Ebay
The hype surrounding Washington Nationals’ pitcher, Stephen Strasburg, is inordinate. He’s never pitched an inning in the big leagues and he’s already being touted as the next Nolan Ryan on steroids (not really, as far as I know, but I say that for hyperbole). Well, it appears one Ebay user is trying to take advantage [...]

Nyjer Morgan Drops Fly Ball, Throws Temper (Video)
It’s always fun seeing an athletic outfielder dead sprint to the track and rob a home run ball or extra base hit. Even in failing to make the grab, they are one of the more entertaining plays in baseball due to the natural suspense as to whether or not a hitter’s glory will wind up [...]

The Nazis Beat The Mets…WTF???
Stuart Scott seems to have a way with words. Unfortunately, that is not always a good thing. For example, we have these highlights from Wednesday’s game between the New York Mets and the Washington Nationals. That’s right! I said the Nationals! But it seems as though Stuart has his own way of saying it. “The [...]
