Dear everybody:

My real account, @NatsAndCats, has finally been unlocked. Yay, me. :) Since this account is really just a burner, and I don't need it, I'm going to hop back. If you only know me from this account, please follow @NatsAndCats.

Please?

😄

@T_Mac202 I knew I could count on you to be a dick. LOL

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

@lamore And since was just a temporary burner account, hopefully @NatsAndCats as well. ;-)

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

@MorseBeWithU @AWchaco You need to be here in DC with us, MM.

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

@AWchaco @MorseBeWithU Whatever. The momentum and the mojo are with the Nationals, who play the next three games at home, and let me tell you - the vibe around town is electric.

Grant and Danny:

-- want the park to sing Happy Birthday to Juan Soto at the top of the 2nd inning tomorrow (excellent)

-- have a solid antipathy towards Fernando Rodney (not excellent)

[Michael Morse @MorseBeWithU]

Funny how people are still saying the @Nationals are shocking the world ?!? Ummm look at that team ...... no shock ...

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

@Miscellany_ms @anniedineen @Nationals Good advice. 😄

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

@carolmaloney4 And then what happened?

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

@jdutch781 @carolmaloney4 Exactly.

@CHARLESTHOMASV3 @brithume Looks like somebody doesn't understand the difference between people calling the president names (which happens to every president - read a biography of John Adams sometime) and the president referring to dissenters as "human scum."

Right on, you adorable socialist pinko. I love it. @whatwouldDOOdo

[Jesse Dougherty @dougherty_jesse]

Sean Doolittle is typically very insightful. But this quote of his may be one of my favorites of the season: “I don’t like the idea of this team won a trade, or that team did. I think it commodifies players in an unnecessary way. Let’s just go win a World Series. How’s that?”

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

This is.......pretty wild. @NatsCaptObvious

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

It's all part of #TheCompleteFernandoRodneyExperience.

[Devan Fink @DevanFink]

Fernando Rodney signed his first professional baseball contract before the birth of Juan Soto.

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

It was 600 miles away from home. :)

[Northwestern Women’s Basketball @nuwbball]

Q: When you were being recruited, what was the one "big" thing that made you pick the University that you did?

@linzp99: Being able to play in the Big Ten, going to a good academic school, and meeting great people!

@NatsLady 11:15 for me.

@jonfeng1 @anniedineen Word.

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

Omar is a well-financed incumbent in one of the bluest districts in the country. Running against her is a suicide mission under the best of conditions anyway. This is a non-story.

[David Gaines 🏑⚾🏀🎼🎶 @NatsAndCatz]

@willy_sweet @NavyYardNats Same.
