"Fister? I hardly even know her"

Thank you, MASN, for sharing this magical moment in the history of Doug Fister puns.

Nationals 2, Braves 1: Ho hum, just another Doug Fister start, this one a brilliant 7 inning, 2 hit, shutout performance. And just another breeze in the 9th for Drew Storen, who finally got his job back.

#RespectTheAce: Good on Matt Williams for sticking with his Ace with two outs and two on in the 7th inning. Watch video here.

"He looked at me on his way out there and asked me: ‘Hey, what do you got?’ And I say: ‘Hey, I want him. I want this guy.’ He was ready for it. He was ready for that answer."

#RespectTheA: Nats lead over Braves now 8 games, magic number 12 for clinching NL East.

"Ray Rice? Never heard of him. why?"

I noticed MASN got that image off the screen good and fast, as if they hadn't read the full sign. Even on a normal day, that probably shouldn't be on a televised game ("Think of the children!"). But, given yesterday's events just up the road, it was doubly inappropriate.

Ummmmm.....it is not referring to punching someone.
