Floyd never saves anything for the hike back.

It’s a good idea in theory, but in this instance a forfeited match (recorded as 3-0 loss by default) is actually less harsh than the 6-0 pisskicking the Bulgarians got.

I love this team so much. I can’t enjoy my own successes, but I get all sensitive and emotional when I see anyone do the thing. And to watch it happening with the team I most love is doing all kinds off shit to me. I’ve never been a big believer in the clubhouse chemistry thing, but these guys have something special…

Obviously Scherzer is an emotion vampire who steals it all away from the rest of the pitching staff.

Oh man, if I was Strasburg's teammate, I would start hugging him all the damn time after reading that. I'd make it a thing - group hug Stephen after every achievement no matter how little, just because I know how much it discomforts him. After every inning, group hug in the dugout. Just hug him all the damn time.

The dugout culture is honestly one of the best things about the Nationals this season, I think.

They’re hot right now. But if they win tonight they’ve literally got a whole week off before the start of the World Series. That either means they’ll come into the WS fresh and prepared, or they’ll have cooled off. In any case, everything seems to be clicking for them at the exact right time. I think they have a…

Admit it, you’re afraid of getting a boner.

Is it too early to say that the Nationals could win the World Series? They are on fire.

There may not be crying in baseball, but there damn sure is hugging. Anyway, it got a little dusty in my house when this happened. 

Games 4 and 5 (if necessary) will be in Washington. The point was that the Nats have two potential home games left and they only have to win one of them to advance to the World Series.

Watching Stras gut out those last two outs in the 7th made me 100% certain the Nats are going to go the distance.

The Cardinals may lose this series and Ozuna definitely goofed, but St. Louis fans can rest easy knowing they did it the right way.

Ive never met a single christian that believed homosexuality was a sin and wasnt an ass hole about it. Pretending that “love the sinner hate the sin” isnt super harmful to LGBT kids is disingenuous to the extreme. 

Yeah, but they’re still Christians, and the greater community of Christians in the US tends to simply say, “oh, they’re not the REAL Christians, just the ones with all the power,” and shrug and giggle. American Christians do an awful job of keeping their house in order, and I do not see any indication that will…

I guess to me there aren’t two divisions of Muslims just as there aren’t two divisions of Christians (ignoring Sunni/Shiite and Catholic/Protestant/Orthodox).

The IRA and Tamil Tigers. Look up the history. The Tamil Tigers invented the modern suicide vest we associate with terrorism. I say this as a Catholic.

Not all of them are bad (trust me, I know), but I totally get where you’re coming from. I think most of the problem is that, as in any society, the worst ones are the ones who stand out the most. It also doesn’t help that many of the actually good Christians are afraid to admit that they are Christians because they…

MoCo calling

I live in a super progressive, super diverse part of Maryland and the CFA is still always packed. It’s kind of frustrating.
