These are the reactions I’m going for with this account 👊🏾👌🏾

Everyone, keep sending in any requests if you have them!!

[Luke Nadkarni @RadioNadkarni]

@RandomDCathlete This one is amazing.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@alpinistoftheco @RepLaLota Than a grocery store? Yes, but that’s a low bar 😆.

The best bagel shops in DC compete with the best bagel shops anywhere.

@NCBubblehead @bobbyfinnerty2 It doesn’t meet even one of the many criteria of charging. Chychrun doesn’t leave his feet and he doesn’t take excessive strides to lead into the contact (he actually stops right before the hit) or come from far away for it.

@awfulannouncing https://t.co/ke9FezbBtx They’ve been in there since yesterday. The extreme construction going on the arena allows for more gaps that birds can fly into.

[Katie Adler @katieEadler]

Well this is a new one: we’ve got two birds flying around inside of the arena.

Not sure that’s what they mean when they talk about pigeons at a hockey game.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@PFTCommenter First time for that in Landover, tho.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@JomboyMedia Yeah they’ve been in there since yesterday, seen here. There is a heavy construction on the outside of the arena, causing there to be more openings for birds to fly into.

@mrmotion69420 @aaron_lassiter @JPFinlayNBCS It doesn’t event matter. It’s the two major local college basketball programs. If both had sucked for a decade but are playing each other (rare in itself) it should be on TV on an obvious channel.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@katieEadler So what? Happens at Nats Park all the time.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@GrantPaulsen @JoeBpXp , but if I had to choose someone as an analyst, it would be @Kurkjian_ESPN . Every time they zoom into a county, he tell us some random baseball tidbit about it, which would be awesome.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@carolinerkenny Eh, our football team plays on MNF 5x as often and loses on it almost every time.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@JylesCards “MLB MVP Award” was a dead giveaway this is fake 🤣

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@czabe Had no idea you were a Milwaukee guy now or had any media ties there.
Was very confused until I saw your bio why a long time 980/106.7 guy was being a Brewers homer.

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

The Expos in 2003 and 2004 and the Nationals in 2005 are the same franchise, but the card counts them as separate stops on the way to eight teams. Mets, Twins, Marlins, Yankees, Orioles and Braves finish the path through 2013.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@GregFinberg @GrantPaulsen how many games played until it’s enough to qualify for another above .500 parade??

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@GrantPaulsen I’m pretty surprised at the second sentence. I feel like you’re well known enough nationally and locally that most media people at the NLCS would know about your extensive DC sports background.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@diehardfanjamie @1fast_tesla @GrantPaulsen This guy actually blocked me. Confusing, but whatever. Lot of short-tempered nut jobs on Twitter.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@1fast_tesla @GrantPaulsen You would have rather lost than not lost? What an outlandishly stupid reaction.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@BaseballWRLD_ 4 out of these 7 are current or former Nats. And 2 of the other 3 are younger guys who have been on one team their whole career.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@jbenowitz1831 @docksOFFICIAL “Horrendous” is a pretty dramatic way to characterize a season in which they aren’t even mathematically eliminated until at least the day before game 160, if not later. Were you expecting a division title or something?

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@mhc_76 How can an award win age poorly? It’s based purely on one season. Whatever a player does after is completely irrelevant, so the award can’t age at all. It’s frozen in time to those stats. It’s not a “who is better for their career?” Award.

[Obscure Washington DC Athletes @RandomDCathlete]

@jcalvinmeyer For the Nats, I found 19, and 5 that go the other way. I was trying to use a pretty tight definition, but when the team blows 40 saves a lot is possible.
14 game swing. They’d be 89-70, still technically alive for the division.
