As I turned on the radio yesterday afternoon after getting out of work, I was disappointed to see that I did not catch any of the Nats game, but was very pleased to hear that we had swept the Mariners. Then the radio guys who call the game suddenly blurted out, “we have breaking news, [...]

Open-minded

I really like the new Wizards uniform. I like the colors (of course) and the design. I love the “dc” which is on the shorts and I love the fact that hands are shooting out of the top of the ‘d’. It’s overall a great look and one that is long overdue. What is really [...]

The funny thing about the Caps/Rangers upcoming playoff series is that both coaches are probably telling their teams the same thing right about now. Here’s Bruce Boudreau: I know that those sob’s from New York clobbered us twice this year and beat us 3 out of 4, but not once did they play with us [...]
Hard to believe

Well, I have to admit that I was wrong again about just about everything. Of course, as anyone who reads this blog knows, I am a first and foremost a Caps fan. But even the most optimistic, red-tinted glasses, could not have predicted in the throes of our 8-game losing streak or after we lost [...]
Negative Nancy

The Caps are making me more and more uneasy of late as they continue to climb higher in the Eastern Conference standings. Last night’s win against Buffalo was eerily reminiscent of last year when we would win with all kinds of offensive fireworks and defensive lapses. Try scoring twice in the 1st 5 minutes and [...]
Weighing heavily

The loss of Dennis Wideman is a dark could that definitely looming large over D.C. sports fans these days. The fact of the matter is that without him in the lineup for the last two games, the Caps have struggled on defense as evidenced by the fact that we have given up 5 goals during [...]
Nats Season preview

Last season I predicted that the Nats would win 75 games, a number I described as being “full of optimism”. I was off by 6 games as we won only 69. I don’t know how baseball predictions go, but that seems pretty good to me. This year there is even more excitement around town about [...]
A Sinking Ship

Throughout much of this week, JTIII has said that his team has got to get used to playing without Chris Wright. This meant that everyone from the biggest of our big men to the quickest of our guards had to raise their level of play to help their teammates get good look at the baskets [...]
Measured momentum

The immediate reaction to tonight’s Caps victory was to praise the arrival of Jason Arnott, who heretofore will be referred to as Arnie. There is no doubt that Arnie has made his presence felt on the Caps during his 1st two games in the nation’s capitol. But his arrival has also sparked an overall resurgence [...]
What color is the light at the end of the tunnel?

Today Georgetown lost to Syracuse just the way anyone who had watched Chris Wright play for us for four years would fear: our offense looked disjointed and out of sync and Syracuse won primarily because they caused so many turnovers which led to many easy baskets. I listened to this game on the radio so [...]
