Smackie, I'm going to see your Halos when I'm in Dallas next month. I don't know why I felt the need to inform you of this, but I did.

Let me know when you're going to see my Adirondack Red Wings.

I assure you, the next time I see any ECHL hockey, you will be the first person I inform.

Nat's acquire a utility player in Howie Kendrick from the Phillies.  Only two days left before the trading deadline and looking forward to seeing what Rizzo does to address the bullpen needs.

What does this guy add that the current bench doesn't already have, especially once Turner, Taylor, and Werth return?

With the upcoming deadline the nats  could add Kendrick to have a reliable bat and field player on the roster.  Of for a trade for later.  Taylor could be dealt to another team, and Werth is in his last season of his contract.
Also, with the returning of Turner, Taylor, Heisey and Werth, there is no telling how each will play once they come back.

Veteran leadership.  And somebody to help Dusty not make bad decisions.

Excellent game last night.  Gio was pitching very well, and a very emotional day for him and the Miami Marlins organization.
Awesome to see Doolittle come in and complete the 9th for Gio.
Brandon "the Rhino" Kintzler is now added to the bullpen for the postseason run for the Nats.

Tough weekend for the Nat's.  Although they took 2 of 3 from the Giants, they lost Bryce for a most of the remaining season.  He wants to come back when he is 100% and Goodwin tweaked his groin and will be day to day. 
Michael A Taylor is back with the club and at a time when we need him the most.  It is quite impressive how the Nat's are able to compete with players from within their own system.  Also the addition of Howie Kendrick will keep the outfield as a strong unit.  Howie hit a game winning grand slam last night to win the game in the 11th.

And single-handedly reminding his old team that's he can still win games.

Nolasco's calf cramp was a blessing.  He was about to serve up a another long ball....

I'll take a split in DC.

The strong getting stronger.
Welcome back Jason Werth.  2-4 with a 2 run bomb.
Next, Trea Turner is scheduled to come back this evening.

Harper has gone all Negro on us.

How can you be sure he didn't go all white college girl on spring break?
