#TBT to "Nationals Classics": In the beginning ...
By now you're used to seeing select games from great and not-so-great Nationals teams of the past on MASN. But we're throwing you way back with a couple of "Nationals Classics" telecasts this week, starting this afternoon. The Nats' inaugural season of 2005 turned out better than one might expect of a new club with a bunch of guys no one is considering for Cooperstown. At least it wasn't a losing year, as the team went 81-81. The Nats did, nonetheless, finish fifth in the National League...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Turn of the century

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Turn of the century
More than any other fans I can think of, those of us who pull for the Orioles are more than happy to see 2018 in the rear-view mirror. With new leadership in the front office and in the dugout, fans aren't sure what 2019 will bring, but it sure ought to be interesting. Those new guys calling the shots around here have made it abundantly clear that they're looking ahead, searching for new blood and new ways (to the Orioles, at least) of doing things. But they have also given a firm nod to the...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Ringing in the old

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Ringing in the old
How are those resolutions coming? Already, huh? Well, there's always next year ... As we try to remember to put the correct year on the checks we write, we start to see some light at the end of the baseball tunnel. Spring training's about a month and a half away now, and while we still don't know whether Bryce Harper will be back, we do know that Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo has been busy assembling a roster that should give the club a chance to retake the National League East...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Watching the ball drop

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Watching the ball drop
The coming of the new year prompts people (or at least cable news) to look back on what has passed. Of course, MASN is doing that throughout the offseason as we bring you "Nationals Classics." This week, naturally, is no exception. Since you're going to be staying up late Monday night, why not get acclimated with a couple of extra-inning marathons? We'll also have a game from the Nats' early days in D.C. that might make you break into a chorus of "Auld Lang Syne." You can enjoy all that...

It's everywhere.

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: No humbugs here

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: No humbugs here
The ol' Warehouse was humming with the Spirit of Seasons Yet to Come earlier this week, when Orioles general manager Mike Elias introduced Birdland to the team's new skipper, Brandon Hyde. Like Bob Cratchit, Hyde now will have several youngsters to look after, as the O's rebuilding project will be flush with fresh-faced prospects. For Christmas Present, however, MASN will this week summon some ghosts from the past (OK, if you want to get technical, the principal characters in the games...

Daylight's at a premium as we approach the winter solstice, and it can be tough keep your spirits up. MASN's here to help. For this week's throwback telecasts, we bring you a gem from the guy who wrote the jeweler's handbook on gemology, then a tough choice in the middle of a Nationals romp.

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: It was one fine day in Philadelphia

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: It was one fine day in Philadelphia
The NCAA football playoff matchups are set, and the Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Clemson and Alabama teams are x-ing and o-ing in preparation over the long layoff that follows the end of the regular season. The Maryland grid squad has a new coach. The NFL playoff picture is becoming clearer, though it's by no means settled, certainly not where the Ravens are concerned. Especially at this time of year, you hear the term "sudden death" more commonly in the context of football. But it happens in...

One of the great things about being a baseball fan is the fact that the game offers something for every fan, no matter your rooting interest, whether you prefer to see offense or pitching or how invested you are in the game. That's the overriding theme for this week's array of "Nationals Classics" on MASN: We've got something for everyone. You like late heroics?

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": No crystal ball required
As we turn another page on the calendar, the hot stove is getting warmer. Will the Nationals have a shot at free agent starters Patrick Corbin and Dallas Keuchel? Will they sign another catcher to spell 35-year-old Kurt Suzuki, who is now a Nat again? What's happening at second base? Does Screech's salary count toward the luxury tax? For the answers to these and other questions, you'll just have to stay tuned for the next episode of "As the Nats Turn." The team's past, on the other hand,...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: A perfect time for pie

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: A perfect time for pie
We all know that the best thing you can do for yourself after a heavy meal is to walk it off. So on this biggest feast day of the year, and in the days to follow, MASN delivers extra helpings of walk-off Orioles wins from marathon matches of seasons past. On the menu are tasty victories over the Yankees, Nationals, Athletics and Diamondbacks, and a heaping portion of wins against the Blue Jays. We decided to do dessert first this time, serving up some playoff pie this morning. Hope you're...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: An unexpected call to arms and a parade of homers

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: An unexpected call to arms and a parade of homers
It won't be long now. Pretty soon, the house will be filled with the aroma of roasting turkey. Folks will cram around the table to give thanks for life's many blessings. They'll also debate which type of cranberry sauce is better, the jiggly gel that slides out of the can or the kind boasting actual berries. But before Turkey Day, you can give thanks for some pretty special memories by watching this week's slate of "Orioles Classics" on MASN. If you prefer your baseball to feature...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Milestone moments in O's history
The long national nightmare known as election season has finally passed, and the next barrage of campaign ads is two years away. Now that it's safe to watch TV again, it's a great time to relive some of the best feel-good moments in Orioles history. The MASN vault this week yields three of Birdland's most auspicious occasions ever. Starting with today's day-night doubleheader, you'll see one Hall of Fame slugger reach a nice round number of round-trippers, another one set a new standard...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": A no-no, near perfection and a journeyman's immortality

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": A no-no, near perfection and a journeyman's immortality
What's the most memorable moment in Nationals history? Now that the Nats have been around and making memories since 2005, there are a bunch to choose from. Maybe it's Jayson Werth's walk-off home run that gave the Nationals life in the 2012 National League Division Series. Or Max Scherzer's 20-strikeout game (which I was lucky enough to see as a fan, the only game I attended in the stands that season). Not all momentous Nationals moments involve the Nationals, mind you. Sometimes, it's the...

Well, the World Series is over and a former Oriole was named the Most Valuable Player in the Red Sox's victory over the Dodgers in the Fall Classic. If you picked Steve Pearce as the MVP, I want you to start selecting my Mega Millions numbers. Deal? While Pearce doesn't make an appearance on this week's slate of "Orioles Classics" on MASN, we do have a bunch of heroes for your viewing pleasure.

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Homers, walk-offs and a no-no
OK, let's admit it. You weren't done watching baseball and fully expected the Nationals to be playing in the postseason deep into October. We get it. We're right there with you. And baseball withdrawal is a legit medical condition that deserves a lot more attention than it receives. Yes, you can tune to the National League Championship Series beginning on Friday. But that doesn't solve your Nationals fix, does it? Luckily, we can. Yes, it's time for another offseason of "Nationals...

Ryan Sullivan: A night to remember in the MASN broadcast booth

Ryan Sullivan: A night to remember in the MASN broadcast booth
On Wednesday evening, I was fortunate enough to spend my birthday attending the Nationals game and to sit with Bob Carpenter and F.P. Santangelo in the MASN broadcast booth from the second through the fifth innings. You might assume my lofty position as a MASNsports.com guest blogger was my ticket to this invitation, but actually, several months back at the Nats Clubhouse Social event, I was the lucky winner of this opportunity as a raffle prize. As a diehard baseball fan that has spent a bit...
