I'm sure I'm capable of a baseless accusation but I missed it.
What was it? :^)

It was very punny. At least it strikes me that way.

If every Nats player takes one for the team, they are assured of at least one more victory.

One what? some might ask.

-bone crushing chin music pepper to their body by a backdoor slider.-

being caught stealing is less painful than taking one for the team.

Donuel I was referring to "on the fly." Quite a sacrifice.

Randy Johnson called his fast ball Mr. Snappy and suggested you'd never want to be hit by Mr. Snappy.

Tonight's chant: Play on ye National pastimes, prevail in the game.

Baseball is not a fight or a war. Its sportsmen who like the park and want to go home.

What a game last night, for the Nats that is. They did it at the bat, in the field and on the mound. There was plenty of controversy and drama and masterful performances from Strasburg,(a perfect 5-0 with a 1.98 era in this post season) and Rendon (5 rbi's, a homer and a gem in the field). They've got a decent chance in the finale tonight if Mad Max is able to go, and they say he will. I kind of feel for old Verlander, a certain Hall of Famer who's now 0-6 in World Series play.

After the game the manager for the Nats looked embarrassed for telling the ump to go f*uck himself 8 or 9 times. A couple more unwritten rules were broken that made some players wince.

The winner is the guy who did not let go of his beers and let himself get hit in the chest by a homer.
Strausberg was stoicly brilliant.

Both teams deserve to win but baseball ends tonight no matter what.

I'm not much of a sports fan, but I'm pleased to see an underdog succeed!
I have a friend who is a big sports fan for the "local" team. Once they've been eliminated, she roots for the underdog, too.

Crowds for the Nats parade were bigger than inauguration crowds
I've never seen anything like the continuous fire confetti cannons
Atop double deck buses several players per bus would run down and high five the kids. At the end of Constitution Ave there                            were more celebrations and concerts

The Nats pitcher Doolittle is a kind of Star Wars dofuss who carries a light saber. He is the first to say "Hell No I won't go to the White House to shill for Trump's conspiracy theories and corruption".

Nat's reliever Sean Doolittle on why he didn't go to the White House-

I'm dissappointed that more of his team mates didn't abstain as well but I'm still basking in the afterglow of a massive Curly W.

Baseball is the only game where the defensive team gets the ball.
