Nats should've canned Davey last year, the team was falling apart before he got political and has only gotten worse sense


and it's the weekend man, test results 

Hah.  I haven't touched it in two weeks - haven't really had a weekend in a while.  Work schedule is killing me.  FFS - I'm at work right NOW     Heading home shortly.
Hoping to get a few minutes tomorrow to "play"

Well at least I actually HAVE TNT and ESPN on my Dish service....so maybe I can actually watch the games from my recliner this year instead of work
....IF I ever leave work that is..


  maybe I should move the recliner to work

Didn't we determine the TNT/ESPN stuff was only for National TV games?  Could be wrong, it was a while ago..

probably, just like how nbc games were. I wouldnt be surprised if this was a national game, the Rags have been making a lot of stupid comments, seems most are expecting this to be fight night

Indy was a clusterfuck yesterday, nascar must be proud

No shit.. Run the oval or find somewhere else to run!

[richkrt99]

Well...they did it....


The Nats managed to lose 7 in a row and 9/10 to land in the cellar of the division.


Also helped the Braves stretch their division lead.


Way to go Nats!   

[Mickstix]

Go Nats! 



Oh, and..

Great...NOW the players union will want to negotiate a piece of that pie

[richkrt99]

The Nats actually won a game.


The Orioles...oh fah.  With the loss today made it 15 in a row (losses)


Yesterday was the 14th losss in a row (yes, advance math there).... for the second time this season  (last performed by an MLB team in like 1936)


Think maybe Baltimore should run over to Williamsport, PA and maybe try and beat one of the Little league World series teams of 10-12 year olds.


Or....maybe not.   

[alta]

that's that, the Caps have now officially lost Anderson and Lundquist. They are no longer the oldest team in the league.

https://novacapsfans.com/2021/08/20/henrik-lundqvist-announces-retirement/

I think they could now resign Chara and still not be the oldest team in the league.

[richkrt99]

I had already counted the King out so...


Good for him - hope he enjoys his "retirement"


Nice to see the Rangers and Caps website comment on it....well, um.... maybe they'll get to it....someday.

[richkrt99]

Nats won TWO in a row and Miami dropped the last four so Miami now back in the cellar


and....


who cares?

Actually the way I read it was this money will up the value of teams allowing for the cap to go higher so the players can make more...


BUT... I'm not an accountant or lawyer by any means, so alot of verbage could've been misinterpreted 

[richkrt99]

Nats Win!  Nats Win!  Nats Win!
 


Well...they DID win three in a row.  Beat the 1st place (NLC) Brewers for the 1st time this year.


Nice pitching by Corbin and timely hits by some young guys (and of course...Soto)


THey got a chance... 
only 15 games below .500 and 12.5 games back from the 1st place Braves with 41 games left to play   




Still bored here..


When do the Caps start camp?

technically yes, the cap is directly tied to league revenue. But I seriously doubt revenue from jersey adverts makes a difference in the cap.

No Olympics for Kuzy.. No care from Mickey.

I'm glad the appeals fell short.   Banned him for 4 years (for being a dumbass) and 4 years is what it should be.
