It’s hard to explain if you’re not a baseball fan. Last night never happens to us. It always happens against us. Last night, despite being down 3-0 early – we believed. The baseball Gods smiled upon us for once. We are moving on. The goosebumps still haven’t gone away. (more…)

“Taking my EEO training and couldn’t help but love this. As a native DCer who hates the “DC Football” team and is a rabid Cowboys fan, I couldn’t agree more with the answer to this question (“all of the above”).”
