David and Goliath are on the same team. Major League Baseball is on notice. @Nationals

@pfinanceblogs @YIMBYLAND They started building the viaduct a month after the Titanic sank. It was in regular use by 1915.

@NationalsComms Wow. The Braves 16th best prospect (Pipeline) for nothing. Lara's control issues are for real.

@nickseip @vol_equalizer Sherman is celebrated all over! He's one of the finest Ohioans (though he may have given that title to Sheridan if asked about it).

[Nick Bona 🇺🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @silosmasher]

@nickseip @vol_equalizer Why would they? Sherman is associated with West Point and LSU... and East Tennessee famously fought with the North. In fact East Tennessee is where John Hunt Morgan was killed (after escaping from the Ohio Pen, 3 miles south of where OSU is currently located).

@TailgateBurgers @vol_equalizer That looks like Kingsport legend Ralph Nelson!

@JimBonesBona1 Lots of prospects are looking good right now!

Mitchell Parker has no business in the majors. He's now blown 5 saves in 17 appearances, half way to the all-time team record for blown saves (he's not a closer). Every Nats fan saw that coming when he came in for the 9th. What exactly is going on in the dugout?

@Mikeysurf @MikeRegnell @MarkZuckerman I don't think you've grasped the historic nature of Wednesday's collapse. I agree it's 1 of 162, but each game matters to a young team (and an abused fan base). The coaching staff has to be smarter to keep all the progress going. Ultimately this will be a good test.

@SlangsOnSports @SFGiants Managerial malpractice.

@NationalsSource I can't decide if having tomorrow off is good or bad after a loss like this.

[Nick Bona 🇺🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @silosmasher]

@klwoodjr You could throw a dart at the waiver wire and find a more competent pitcher than Parker.

@MikeRegnell @MarkZuckerman That's what blowing an 8 run (8th inning) lead will do to a fan base.

@GhostsofDC Excellent article. Bill Collins is a great guy and kept the dream alive for the DC area for nearly two decades. I remember Douglas Jamal being pretty active in the effort in the late 90s as well.

@WeAreAllShack He racked up the most pitching WAR on the Nats in 2024 in spite of only starting 13 games. If healthy, I have no doubt he would be productive under the current regime.

@PolitiBunny In the late 60s, Betty White traveled around to department stores to promote beauty tips. This is so cool!

This is a great idea for all the rail trails that have popped up over the last 15 years!

Solar panels on train tracks in Switzerland.

A hell of a lot more logical than plastering over prime farmland.
