Just walked on my flight back to DC to an ovation. Full of Nats fans. Pointed to every single one and said “world champ, world champ, world champ, world champ”. That will never get old!!
Super excited to announce I’ll be back for my 10th year on

True Story
After 7 months, today is the last day of baseball in DC. What a beautiful journey this has been for all of us. What a wonderful team. What a miraculous ride. Soak it all in today, make it last and most of all let the boys know how proud you are of them tonight!

My friend who works on the Cubs broadcast took this right around the time we all found out Willie had passed away. The sky was orange. Almost like he was there. Probably was

If you play a Major League game and nobody gets a hit it’s a no-hitter. You can’t penalize the player/players for how many innings you decided to make the game. If it’s not a no-hitter than a 7 inning win shouldn’t be a win.
Willie Mays asked if he could sit down at the table where I was having breakfast by myself in the clubhouse before a day game at Candlestick...he asked. The greatest player ever "asked" if HE could sit with me. Then once seated he began to give me a clinic 1)
Umpires should never be the story, part of the story or even mentioned in the story. Yet on the biggest stage at the most important time Lance Barksdale inserted himself into the narrative
The rest of the sports world wishes they had a

bromance. It’s like no other city and nothing I’ve ever seen before and never will again. It’s pure and real and why they both are champions...
What a great day of football! I could listen to Tony Romo tell me what play is coming all day. It takes stones to trust what you see and predict an outcome. Not many do it but I believe that’s exactly what we get paid to do. Many are scared to be wrong. He’s not and I love it!
Someday many moons from now there’ll be a big hit in Nationals history. Some will argue that it’s the biggest hit but they’ll be wrong. Because there’s nothing like the first time, the first championship. Howie’s game 7 home run will forever be the biggest hit in Nats history

have battled/fought for everything all season long.They are all that’s good about sports.They’ve shown us all what happens when you never give up/believe in yourself. An example for all of us in the arena & life Fitting that they’re playing on the last day of the season
Last night was about everyone that’s ever wore the Nats uniform. The ENTIRE organization past and present that got them to this point. Last night was bigger than 25 guys. It was for all those that worked so hard to get to this point. So to all Nats everywhere I say THANK YOU!
Why is anyone complaining about anything in baseball right now? I don’t get it. A month ago I missed baseball so much it hurt and now everyone’s complaining about every little thing. I’m just glad there’s a game today. That’s all.
Thank you

fans!! It’s been an honor to spend another summer with you! You’re truly the best fans in baseball. SEE YOU LATER!!!

were 879-740 this decade with 4 NL East Championships, 1 NL Championship and a World Series Championship. That’s a legendary decade that will be remembered forever...
The song that we played in the clubhouse 102 times after a win in 2001 was Daft Punks “One More time”. So on behalf of everyone on the best team I was ever a part of…..One More Time
Thank you Max for firing us up every fifth day & competing like the true champion you are. Thank you Trea for being a humble hero & one of the toughest, most talented leaders in baseball. Thank you for all the amazing memories & bringing us all a World Championship

When it’s all said and done and the bright lights have faded,nobody within the game really cares about your numbers. It’s only about what kind of guy/teammate you were. What kind of person. Gio Gonzalez is an A+ human being and will have no worries about his legacy w in the game
About to take the two block walk from hotel to Minute Maid Park, still seems like it’s not real. As a player you dream about this moment from the time you’re a little kid. As broadcaster you wonder to yourself if it will ever happen. Well it’s happening folks. Enjoy, I sure will
If you’re lucky enough to attend the game tonight, 44,000 people singing happy birthday to Juan Soto in the top of the first would be amazing....

Enough with umpires calls, the Astros are really good, baby sharks and stay in the fight. It’s time for two days of HARD BALL. Grind, stick your nose in the dirt and find a way, however, to bring a World Championship back home to DC....

There’s no analytic for 25 guys that love each other and want to win together more than anything. When you come up with that, I’ll buy in completely...

I want to thank everyone

for the amazing opportunity to be a part of their station for a second time around! I was informed today that due to budget cuts there will no longer be a 6-10pm show. That said I’m super grateful for the time spent bonding with all the amazing Bay
Win tomorrow + split in Houston = parade. If it were easy there’d be 30 teams still playing. Soak it all in. All of it! What a series!

fans should be proud of how loud and passionate you were the last two nights. There were times when I just looked around and took it all in.Tonight we all lost our minds together and it felt good.I've watched DC become a baseball town and you should be proud!
#enjoytheride
Well, there goes my no-hitter.
As you may have heard, I will not be returning to the MASN broadcast booth to call Nats games next season. I have so many people to thank for this last decade that I hardly know where to begin.

Watching the replay of game 7. After Tonys home run, Juan Soto’s walk was so key. At 21 to take that walk and not try to go back to back, like they have, is extremely impressive. In a game 7 to be that disciplined and controlled, not trying to do too much is pretty amazing.
Just watched the World Series documentary for the first time. We’re all so fortunate that that really happened. What an amazing group of men. We owe them all so much. Let’s do it again
