I just saw this headline and thought the same thing, I know Calsgr8 said she used to work there but I believe she's been transferred, hopefully everyone is ok

If only DC had stricter gun control laws, this tragedy could have been avoided.

Aren't you clever.  Funny that the resident gun nuts are all hovering around this thread right now. 

Got a text from someone in a locked down building - scary crap.

sounds like they're telling employees and players to stay home for now.

What about the game tonight? If they ppstpone it, will Davey skip someone in the rotation? Will Strasburg start?

Stadium being used as a Triage Center for minor and moderate injuries, and to clear and remove people from the Naval Yard.
Looks like the field has other uses than baseball today

[Slateman]

So can we skip Haren and get an extra start out of someone good?

if that's how we get in, it could be awkward when people start breaking down this run

smh at trying to make this a gun advocacy thing.  Mods need to clean this up.

Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone. There is a time and place for politcs...now is not the time. Let's let DC get through this now...talk politics at a later time.

+1    Not the time or place regardless on one's stance on the issue.

[cowpunk]

hoping for everyone's safety.  Looks like a few blocks east of Nats Park.

Halfsmokes pulled his stuff down.  I'll leave it to Cope to figure out if he wants to edit.  Time and place, as they say.  I'll also keep this in the loft instead of uncensored for now.

It's Garage B, they keep saying lot B in the media like none of them have ever been to Nats Park.

Both teams are off on Thursday, I wonder if I should go ahead and block off that afternoon on my calendar.

Oh crap, that's right, forgot that we have the five game series. Might be a day / night double header, or a true double header and refund the money. Id take a refund and then buy a ticket to the DH for less than half the price.

[spidernat]

Shooter must be a reds fan.    Playing a double header is not good for the Nats.

[CALSGR8]

Im ok people!  I worked for NAVSEA in the 80s.  Before they moved to the WNY.  When I was at the yard I worked betwn 2 buildings.  196 and 143. 

So they postponed the game?
