I know everyone else is tired of hearing about the World Series already, but it feels pretty special that my littlest babe will be born this year. Nats Park is my happy place and I can't wait to take him next season.

Apparently it wasn't Scherzer, just a local dude who looks EXACTLY LIKE HIM.
Sigh.

The Nats will go to the White House on Monday. I wish they wouldn't. Maybe they really want some juicy hamberders.

I hope the players boycott. Considering that on average 27% of Major League players are immigrants and not from Sweden...

Hi All, Just wanted to tell you guys since this just kind of slapped me in the face. I came into work yesterday and my boss pulled me aside and said he has something for me. Normally its a package from the mail room or more work to do. LOL Never could I have thought that what he was about to give me was .... A Raise. Actually not just a raise..... A position. He and my manager got together and made me a position and gave me a pretty significant raise. I am floored. I am hoping I can use it to pay off a bunch of stuff and be more financially secure. ^_^ It also helps for kid number 2 coming in April

I Hate, with a capital H, this man. But my tummy hurts because this story makes him almost human. I must keep reminding myself that he is the scum of the earth.

Congrats JukEboX! You must be an important part of the team if they created the new role for you, and that's great timing with the coming baby.

I'm not defending her relationship with the staffer, but there is a lot here that would be excused if she were not a younger, attractive female. (ahem, lookiing at the resident of the WH)

Idk if there are NC residents in here but I've been seeing this pop up here and there and wanted to share. GOP members of NC legislature keep calling for a recess every time a vote on the budget veto override is going to happen, apparently hoping to keep trying to get D members to not show up. D members keep showing up, and so the GOP won't vote. This state senator's twitter acct is v informative. mobile.twitter.com/JeffJacksonNC

D members keep showing up, and so the GOP won't vote. This state senator's twitter acct is v informative. mobile.twitter.com/JeffJacksonNCI was just going to post this. (hi, from Raleigh) Also, NC just closed the loophole on the definition of rape, which "until Thursday, North Carolina had been the only state in the country where it’s not considered a crime to continue sex with someone after that person revokes consent." And also this: "The legislation could have helped people like Leah McGuirk, who was at a bar in Charlotte last year when she felt unwell and collapsed to the floor. She said she suspects her drink had been drugged, and her friends took her to safety. She reported the incident to police but was told it’s not a crime to drug someone’s drink if it is not accompanied by another crime." www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article236884008.html?fbclid=IwAR3DGGihgUx-LVIkA-k0-yFWbXGTpTNbnOHJZw9M9JkeOgQIWf8AmBsdVNQ

I just got an email from Starbucks letting me know that when you connect to SBux wifi you get free access to about 30 different digital news publications, including many, many local papers like the Chicago Tribune, LA Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Baltimore Sun, etc. Kind of cool, right?
