So the story is about Max Scherzer, Matt Williams, and a hummer?

Paraphrased from News of the Weird:
According to the NY Times, Max Scherzer told Nats manager, Matt Williams, in March that he requires assistance during daily warm up sessions and spoke of the importance of simulating actual game conditions. As a starting pitcher he needs someone to stand beside him and hum the "Star Spangled Banner" before he begins practice.
A blog from the Washington Post reports it a bit differently: "Scherzer, who is so deeply invested in routine that he hummed the Star Spangled Banner before throwing live batting practice in spring training, said he is ready for the chaos."
And the Savannah Morning News says that Matt Williams was the hummer. "It's Max's thing," Williams says.
WHAT A GLORY BOY. HUTCH, RIP THIS ASSHOLE APART. THE FUCKING NERVE, HE HASN'T EVEN WON A GAME.
On top of this, HOW many strike outs does Max have? OVERRATED.

Point is Scherzer sucks at baseball. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go home to my 972 sq ft domicile.

I'd like to point out that the cost of a 972 sf house in Arlington is probably about the same as a six bedroom house on five acres of land in Richmond.

I guess if that's comforting to one whose children are growing up in squalor, then more power to them.

That's about the average size for a house in Europe, and I'd hardly say the average child in Europe is living in squalor.

It's all about the land and the location. Hutch's land alone is worth $475k, while your land and house together only come in at $437,600. And your lot (11,724 sq. ft) is twice the size as Hutch's (5,125 sq. ft).

Just give him 2 more weeks and we'll be in May and he'll remember how to play defense.

You're living quite well, on an international scale. 1,226 sq ft, not including 334 more in the basement, the 368 sq. ft deck, and the 432 sq. ft attached garage.

Do those solar panels work well? Seems like the tree cover would keep them shady a lot of the time.
And I never figured you for a basketball guy. That Fisher Price basketball hoop next to the adult hoop is toooo precious.

nice to see Span back
what are thoughts/general thinking on wearing an Expos cap? is it cool, dorky, irrelevant or idiotic?
technically it is the same franchise and I always liked the Expos a lot…..

It depends if someone is doing it as an intentional throwback or if their parents are just raising them in a shanty town because they selfishly go to a bunch of concerts instead of putting a proper roof over their heads and put money away for college and they cannot afford a new hat.
