Austin has a Rick Bayless taco shop, that makes it worth a visit.

The 2022 Washington Nationals are better than off days!

Reading a play-by-play from a New Senators' win is more exciting than an off-day, and more pleasurable than most 2022 New Nationals' games. Here is one, thanks to Jim Casey, who runs a Facebook site on the Expansion Senators. He looks for a win on each day. Here is April 25, 1969, a day when Frank Howard went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI's. Jim Hannan started, but was pulled in the 5th, replaced by Dick Bosman.

I had not seen that until now.  I honestly can't say I remember a play that bad.  The thing that put it over the top is Soto flopping on the ground after he's out, blocking Bell from sliding into 3rd.

I can't find my earlier post, where I referred to 'cheesecake eating...' - it was in response to a 'Nationals News' story that the Nats players had held a cheesecake eating competition, in the Clubhouse, during games...Anyone else remember the story?...

Thanks, PWC - but that wasn't the one I meant. The story I'm thinking of was last season (at least - maybe '20).

Found it!  7th August, last year - referenced by the MASN crew.

Ok.
