Aigoo!

I hope it is in North.

Well Trump did promise to disarm Korea.

Brad Peacock has become the first player in 95 years to close out one playoff game, and then start a playoff game the next day.

[Natsinpwc]

We had two Peacock’s. Imagine all the feathers.

I don't have much love for Joe West or the merits of the suit, but I'm in favor of pretty much anyone suing Paul Lo Duca.

Not sure if 25 and 2/3 innings of poor relief qualifies as a former Nat, but: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/10/giants-designate-kyle-barraclough.html

If the Nats win, does he get a ring? Does Rosenthal?

[spidernat]

If the Nats win, does he get a ring? Does Rosenthal?

I believe so but they don't deserve one.

[dracnal]

I believe so but they don't deserve one.

Whether they do or not, they do. I'm not sure if it's 25 man roster or 40 man roster, but anyone who appeared at the MLB level absolutely does get one now.

It's the owernship's call, they can give a ring to anyone.

Ian Desmond is the former player that is still playing that I wish was still around to enjoy.  Murphy too a little bit.

I must admit, I always confused him with Mark Reynolds during his brief tenure here, and was not even aware he played in Fresno last season.

[bluestreak]

21 more charges for Vasquez. Maybe the Astros will sign him.

Kelvin Herrera was arrested for punching a guy at a cockfight in the Dominican. Cockfighting is legal there, but assault/battery is not.

Arguing about who had the bigger cock? 

[bluestreak]

I completely forgot Kelvin Herrera was ever on the Nationals.
