Scott Braun as play-by-play announcer, Al Leiter and Nationals announcer F.P. Santangelo as analysts and Lauren Shehadi as the in-game reporter What to know about Wednesday's Mets vs. Nationals game being shown exclusively on YouTube -
Now I just need to hang out with some college educated people so I can speak their language. If you really want to teach you should go for it. It's not too late to start over, and lots of places have a "career switchers" teaching program. I taught for 11 years (history) and enjoyed the teaching- the other stuff, not so much.

Dan T making a push for a Nats look-alike thread. Those threads are still the best part of the Stadium -
The verses from Jeremiah that are on the car begin this way: Yet I planted you a choice vine, wholly of pure seed. How then have you turned degenerate and become a wild vine? Ironic that it could apply to the owner of this car.

Has anyone watched "The Widow" on Amazon Prime? It has Kate Beckensale in it, and I started it, but couldn't get into it. Her husband supposedly dies in a plane crash but then she sees him on the news in during an uprising, and he might be a spy? I'm just wondering if I should give it another chance.

The Washington Nationals Thread: The Future is Near!

2 things to keep in mind for minor league pay 1) They don't get paid throughout the year, so the $1100 a month does equate to about $7500 a year when you factor in that they just get paid during the season. This is why so many have part time jobs. 2) They don't get paid during Spring Training. So, for approx. 6 weeks they have no money coming in and they certainly can't have their off-season job during that time. From an excellent article called "I can't afford to play this game" at the Athletic website. It's a paysite, and I don't know if anybody has a subscription, but here's the link: https://theathletic.com/830452/2019/03/15/i-cant-afford-to-play-this-game-minor-leaguers-open-up-about-the-realities-of-their-pay-and-its-impact-on-their-lives/ -

Actually, the Nats are the only team in MLB history to accomplish that feat TWICE. They did it in 2017 when Brian Goodwin, Wilmer Difo, Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman went deep against the Brewers. -

If he goes to another team and has the same amount of success, he could always pull a Greg Maddux and have his plaque with no hat. -
And they felt like they had to define urine, why?

If you noticed, Rambeau's call sign on her jet was Photon, so it would make sense for her daughter to adopt this. -

But not enough to override a veto, so they can say they stood up against him knowing that he'll get his emergency anyway. Fracka -

I saw Captain Marvel this weekend and I enjoyed it. Goose did steal the show, and I liked all of the nostalgia including the music and how long it took to upload files, dammit! I enjoyed her dry sense of humor, and I guess that's what some reviewers are referring to when they call her dull or uninspired? It's not going to win any awards, but it's a good continuation (or prequel) of the story. Didn't like Earth being referred to as a ****hole, but it is what it is. -

I also agree this is what's happening, but why didn't we see this when Wonder Woman came out? -
Well, this is an old article, and while Turkey wasn't our enemy, he was putting their interests ahead of those of the US. From the article: But treason or not, Flynn’s rejection of a military operation that had been months in the making raises questions about what other key decisions he might have influenced during the slightly more than three weeks he was Trump’s national security adviser, and the months he was Trump’s primary campaign foreign-policy adviser https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article151149702.html R ead more here: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article151149702.html#storylink=cpy
