The Mets decimated the Cardinals in a victory on the road in Jupiter this afternoon, and Freddy Peralta started his Mets tenure about as good as one would have hoped. The Mets will be back in action tomorrow afternoon at 1:10 PM EST, taking on the Washington Nationals back at Clover Park. Tobias Myers will […]
Depsite only being scheduled to pay him $8 million in 2026, the Washington Commanders released their starting center, former Wisconsin Badger Tyler Biadasz, on Thursday. ESPN’s John Keim, who covers the Commanders, tweeted the following: It appears to me that he is correct here. First of all, the Commanders don’t need to create more cap […]
One thing I have noticed this spring is that James Wood has been playing a lot of right field. Two of his three games this spring have been in right field. This is notable because Wood exclusively played left field last season. It is telling that the Nats new regime at least wants to get […]
Washington is a team without many impact players, and one who is switching both its offensive and defensive schemes this year. The need to get younger and better is evident, but the plan of how to accomplish those goals is not. Many suspect that Washington will be major players in free agency, but Adam Peters’ […]
The NL East could have several strong teams this year. The Phillies appear to be in win-now mode. The Mets have made major changes. The Braves should recover from a down year in 2025. Even the Marlins could make some noise. The Nationals? Well, they are here. Atlanta Braves Key departures: Jarred Kelenic, Marcell Ozuna, […]
The Tuesday night loss to the Atlanta Hawks was bad. The loss last night was worse. The Wizards fell behind quickly, made a first quarter run when the Hawks slacked off early, and then got their doors blown off. Again. I’ve now written several versions of a sentence that communicates the idea that the competitive […]
For the second time this week, the Atlanta Hawks squared off against the hapless Washington Wizards in front of their home fans at State Farm Arena. After beating Washington handily on Tuesday, Atlanta delivered an equally emphatic 126-96 victory last night — though with Jalen Johnson (left hip contusion) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (left foot sprain) […]
Commanders links Articles A to Z Sports How Trent Williams impacts the Commanders and Laremy Tunsil There are two possible outcomes for Williams and the 49ers, and both impact Washington differently. Williams will either receive a contract extension with the 49ers that comes at a hefty price or be released and sign a major contract […]
The Washington Wizards lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday, 126-96. The first half of this game was tough to watch. Washington allowed Atlanta to head into halftime with a 76-56 lead. I get that the Wizards aren’t going to be very good this season. But that margin and the total number of points the […]
Not going to lie, this was such an uncompetitive game against a clearly tanking team that I have nothing to recap. Corey Kispert had 22 in the first half and a career-high (!) 33 points overall. Newbies CJ McCollum and Jonathan Kuminga added 25 and 17 respectively. Please discuss the win amongst yourself.
The Washington Commanders are reportedly releasing starting center Tyler Biadasz. He has been the starting center since Dan Quinn brought him over from the Dallas Cowboys. Biadasz was entering the third, and final year of the contract he signed in 2024. The team will save $2.8 million by releasing him, but they could designate him […]
The Atlanta Hawks (29-31) try to make it a clean sweep of a home-and-home against the Washington Wizards (16-41) without Jalen Johnson or Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

The Washington Wizards play the Atlanta Hawks at 7:30 p.m. tonight at State Farm Arena. Watch the game on Monumental Sports Network.
Spring Training is the time of the year where players knock off the frost from the offseason and prepare for the 162 games marathon that is the regular season. For hitters, it means getting used to seeing big league velocity and breaking balls, as well as getting live fielding reps, and for pitchers it means […]
The Philadelphia Flyers dropped their all-important return to action against the Washington Capitals and now conversations have started once again about how this team might just not be good enough to even think about the playoffs for a while. Whether it is looking at a blue line that lacks a true top defenseman — with all the love to Travis Sanheim — or a forward group that has skill on the flank but the spine is severely lacking any scoring or drive; there just is not a whole lot going o...
The Washington Wizards have signed Jamir Watkins to a two-year standard contract, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. The first year of Watkins’ deal will likely run through the end of the 2025-26 season, with the second year putting him under contract through the 2026-27 campaign. Watkins, 24, was selected by Washington with the No. 43 pick […]
Here are the lineups for today’s game. Phillies: Nationals: Garrett Stubbs hits a homer today.
His IQ was described as beyond his years already back in high school. Khris Middleton, one of the new additions to the Dallas Mavericks roster in the Anthony Davis trade to the Washington Wizards, is not just any NBA veteran. Second star at his peak in Milwaukee, once fighting for the top spot with later […]
The Flyers started their 26-game gauntlet to wrap up the season Wednesday night against the Capitals. It’ was a four-point divisional game against a club who, like Philadelphia, are on the outside looking in regarding a playoff spot. And despite the fact the Flyers have three games in hand on Washington, the team has a batch of clubs they have catch if they want to get a wildcard spot. Or even back in the conversation. Perhaps the one saving grace is that Philadelphia might have a better but n...
It had been a positive start to the spring for the Washington Nationals, but they got a reality check last night. They suffered their first defeat of the spring, losing 7-0 to the Yankees in a sloppy contest. The Nats were credited with three errors, but that is being generous. It really could have been […]
After last season’s 5-12 finish, one thing is abundantly clear for Washington football fans. The team needs to add a significant amount of talent during the offseason. While Adam Peters will continue to use the draft, the Commanders GM will also have an estimated $82 million in cap space at his disposal after various projected […]
The Flyers returned from their post-Olympic break but fell to the Capitals 3-1. The loss puts the Flyers in a far deeper hole than they were before the break when it comes to their now-slimmer playoff hopes. The basics First period: No scoring Second period: 13:52 – Rasmus Sandin (Hendrix Lapierre, Jakob Chychrun) Third period: 0:29 – Noah Cates (Travis Sanheim, Bobby Brink), 14:08 – Trevor van Riemsdyk (Declan Chisholm, Aliaksei Protas), 19:34 – Aliaksei Protas (Unassisted) (SHG) (E...
