History has been made. Barry Bonds just hit his 756th home run off Mike Bacsik in the bottom of the 5th with one out - a shot to right field on a full count. I really thought the Nats might escape giving this up.

Wow, is it really almost time for school to start again? (YIPPEE!

Also anchoring a new weekly (ignore the "Daily Show" bit) news show all Nationals all the time. Ok, seriously I'm just kidding, but for giggles, I created this bit of embarrassment to see how I'd do as a sports show host. Bahaha! Be gentle, please! Also, remember I'm not a video producer by trade, so the lighting and cutting are a little rough ... Continue Reading
