Nationals @ Blue Jays, Game 1

[1995hoo]

How the heck did you pull this up?  Cool fact.

I knew about Shore's outstanding effort and thought of it when I saw the query here, but I didn't know how the opposing pitcher did. I figured back then most pitchers tended to throw complete games, though, so I searched for a box score and found one from the Boston Globe. It didn't include the pitching lines, but it showed that the Senators pinch-hit for their starting pitcher in the 9th, and since they were the home team that means he must have thrown a complete game.

Looks like I'm eating Papa John's for dinner tomorrow.  #NATS50

Half price tomorrow, including all toppings, when Nationals score 5 or more runs. 
All season long promotion!

It might be the beer or it might be other factors of good news, but this team gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

It's the beer.

36-23!

[Count Walewski]

There was an old man in an Expos jersey behind home plate today. I hope the team made him proud. He seemed sad though, even during the LaRouche home run.

Bang Zoom nages!

Stupid question but what does 'nages' mean?

Great win tonight. Just awesome. Hopefully Wang can muster together a solid start tomorrow. Maybe 6 innings of 3 run baseball? That'll at least give us a shot I think. The Toronto bullpen should be pretty taxed so I think we have a solid shot.

In his last start vs Mets, Wang gave up 2 runs in 5.1 innins, if he can repeat that, I am happy.

Damn it. Now I need to register under the name 13_Games_Over_.500_Are_You_Kidding_Me?

You have the censors on.  They censor the "b" word that means a female dog to "nag."  When someone posts the plural form, it only knows to censor the 5 letters to "nag" and keeps the "es" on the end.

When the 4 letter "c" word for a male chicken was censored into "lolipop" it would turn the name of former Nationals - now Oakland - farm hand into "Brad Pealolipop"

wpa actually does say nages though!

Sometimes, but in this case she was feeling salty

[Lintyfresh85]

Hmm. On my phone it says nages... And I don't have it censored. Weird.

Edit... Ah. Only the quote says nages. Got it.

Oh, yeah, when someone that has censors on quotes someone, it stays censored in their quote when they post it.

i had no idea you could turn the censors off, but i find the replacement cuss words to be pretty funny. something about the image of a drunk baseball fan screaming "freaking jerk" at the tv makes me laugh.

Maybe Laddie Burger has censors installed in his brain.

The old (pre-2009) official Washington Capitals boards used to have some word filters that could be uproarious: the aforementioned '4-letter c-word' would come out either 'jeffrey' or 'heyho'...the four letter 's' word at one time came out 'fish'...'crap' would come out 'candy corn'...among many others.
