Last night was one of the first times I remember where I didn’t get in trouble for yelling at the TV... because my wife was too.

It’s cute when Phillies fans claim they’re some great fan base. Should I remind you about your attendance patterns before the championships? Or how about since then?

Your whole premise. You said they restrict geographic ticket sales. They don’t. They had a limited presale one-time 4 years ago (no one gets pissy when bands have presales for their fans), and after a couple of days tickets were open to anyone, anywhere, just like always. It also hasn’t been repeated since. That…

I wondered if you’d be waiting for me this morning. What is there to say? That was a dumpster fire of a game (yes... I watched the whole thing), that I (gasp) didn’t have any control over. I know you’re shitting yourself with glee so I hope you have fun with that. There’s always next year right?

Hmmm... nothing about the fact that you were wrong though. We’re not going to admit that after we doubled down are we?

Excuse me:

Seriously... did the Nats kick your mom out of her house to build their park or something?

Ahh yes... of course some bullshit local CBS affiliate from fucking Sacramento might not have all their facts straight. I’m telling you as a DC resident (and yes, a fan... so the fuck what) that they did do a pre-sale for the first home series against the Phillies in 2012. Here’s a source:

He did... but MOY is a pretty bullshit award that goes sorta along the lines of “most improved team.”

I once watched a waiter shave a mass of in season, fresh white truffles onto my wife’s plate in Italy. That was the one time where I could say truffles seemed like a thing that was worthy of existing, it tasted pretty amazing. That being said, we then got the bill and found out it added 24Euros to experience (thanks…

Finding the brown bag of Granma Utz fried in lard is like making a pilgrimage to potato chip Mecca.

Show me a geographical limit on tickets. You’re completely full of shit. They once (read: one time) had a pre-sale for DMV residents for one series of one season.

I am strongly in favor of either of those options. Porter was my vote to replace Davey, until he went to the Astros and wasn’t available anymore. Werth appears to be the kind of guy that will make a great manager somewhere, someday (they all said the same about Matty though)... I hope it happens.

The exact quote is in the article above.

They still have a way better manager than we do in DC.

He said he wouldn’t go anywhere where he wasn’t the closer... he is the closer. But, he’s also publicly told Williams that he’ll do whatever is needed, including pitching earlier than the 9th. He doesn’t want to miss out on obvious save opportunities, but barring that he seems more than willing to help right the ship.

(Editor’s Note: This is an excellent story. Some of you are reading this story wondering why it’s at the beginning and not the end—the spot I typically save for the best story.

OK fine. I give. The Nats did what they’ve always done. They did what they said they were going to do long before the season began, or they knew the season would be as good as it was. But sure, it was all Boras. I bow to your all-knowing wisdom.

Jesus fucking christ... did you watch any of his starts at the end of that season? Do you accept no possibility that a guy pitching further into a season than he ever had before might have fallen off a cliff at the end? Max Scherzer pitched lights out for half the season this year, and then fell in the toilet. Picking…

that was my thought exactly.
