Out of the Park: The blizzard, Throwback Tuesday and new attire

Out of the Park: The blizzard, Throwback Tuesday and new attire
Well, Winter Storm Jonas came through the area last weekend and crushed D.C. like Bryce Harper crushes fastballs. It also crushed MASN broadcaster F.P. Santangelo's elbow from all the snow it left for shoveling. Is there a Tommy John for shoveling snow? #leftarmprobs -- F.P. Santangelo (@FightinHydrant) January 25, 2016 Although Jonas left everyone stuck in their houses and exhausted from shoveling almost three feet of snow, the storm also left a pretty scene at Nationals Park. A beautiful...

Out of the Park: Racing Presidents, Bryce Harper likes that and Nats Park concert
The Nationals family isn't made up of just baseball guys, since they clearly cannot get enough of the NFL playoffs. Granted, the ending to last Saturday's NFC divisional game between the Packers and Cardinals was unlike anything I've ever seen. Sports are just the best, guys. -- Dan Kolko (@masnKolko) January 17, 2016 This game has officially turned into PE -- F.P. Santangelo (@FightinHydrant) January 17, 2016 I don't believe what I just saw... -- Max Scherzer (@Max_Scherzer) January...

Out of the Park: Welcome back, Crush!

Out of the Park: Welcome back, Crush!
Obviously, the big news this week was first baseman Chris Davis re-signing with the Orioles. The seven-year contract was reported as a done deal early Saturday morning before becoming official with a press conference last night at Camden Yards after Davis psased a physical. But before we get to the best of #WelcomeBackCrush, I think it's important to note that the MASN family spends its time together even outside of Oriole Park. MASN's Jim Hunter's wife, Bonnie, makes a delicious baked ziti,...

As the NFL's season continues, so does that of Tyler Wilson's Packers. After beating the Redskins 35-18 on Sunday, the Pack now heads to the desert to take on the Cardinals in the NFC divisional round. #GoPackGo -- Tyler Wilson (@t_willy18) January 11, 2016 Meanwhile, back here in the Old Line State, MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko won, too.

Out of the Park: The good and bad from the rest of D.C. sports, plus National Hat Day

Out of the Park: The good and bad from the rest of D.C. sports, plus National Hat Day
Good news: Nationals pitchers and catchers report in almost a month (Feb. 18)! Bad news: One of the other D.C. teams that was holding you over until then finished its season last weekend. Even though the Redskins were handed an early exit in their surprising playoff run at the hands of a 35-18 defeat to the Green Bay Packers, there is a lot of upside for this team in the future. And MASN's Dan Kolko, for one, enjoyed a season that surpassed expectations, included a division championship and...

Out of the Park: Football playoffs and welcoming a new teammate while another leaves
Happy new year and welcome back to "Out of the Park," Nats fans! I hope everyone had a very nice holiday season as we return to the real world this week. It would probably take a short novel to put together all of the holiday posts from the Nationals players over the break, so we'll just pick up from this week. Outfielder Matt den Dekker happened to spend his New Year's Eve in Dallas and was able to get over to AT&T Stadium with wife Christine to watch the NFC East champion Redskins...

Out of the Park: Christmas trees, Twitter changes and charity work
To start off this week's edition of Out of the Park, I first want to give thanks to the Winter Meetings last week for taking on the majority of the social media buzz. Although it was mostly just rumors, they took up most of your attention on the Twittersphere, blogosphere or whatever sphere you prefer. That being said, let's get to what some Orioles were doing this week with the holidays among us. MASN's Jim Palmer was celebrating this week, but it was wife Susan's birthday instead of a...

Out of the Park: City keys, a rap song and a Nats license plate
Obviously, there was a lot happening on social media last week with the Winter Meetings at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, however much of it was just hearsay. Those posts were mostly focused on what was happening (or could happen) on the field. This being our third edition of Out of the Park, you know by now we are more concerned with what is going on with the Nationals off the diamond, and this week didn't disappoint. You knew it was going to be a big week...

Winter Meetings: Nationals close to making first deal on Day 3
NASHVILLE - Day 3 is wrapping up at the Winter Meetings, and some parties are already packing up to head home. Our flight isn't until 4:50 p.m. tomorrow, but my colleague, Olivia Witherite, flies back to Baltimore tonight. So that means more video editing and posting for me! Don't feel bad for me, I actually like taking time to crank them out and put them on the Web site for fans to enjoy. As for the Nationals, reports surfaced earlier today that the club had made an offer to free agent...

Winter Meetings: Dusty Baker headlines Day 2 of Winter Meetings
NASHVILLE - I've never been so happy to be so busy than I was today - so I didn't have to think about last night's Redskins game. But I didn't have to find any of my colleagues today, so that counts as a win. The day started with reports breaking that the Nationals were signing free agent right-handed reliever Shawn Kelley, who joins lefty Oliver Perez in general manager Mike Rizzo's revamping bullpen. Rizzo would say later in the day that no deal was done, but the Nats are in...
