Werth was on #Nats bench when Harper hit 1st #MLB HR. His grandpa witnessed Aaron’s 1st HR and Rose’s 1st hit. My blog. http://bit.ly/JY4iRk

Here’s why you love Edwin Jackson: Because he’s been there. Isn’t great every time out, but will never be overwhelmed by the occasion. #Nats
One of the best things about any #RedSox- #Phillies game is that the Phils were originally the Worcester (Mass.) Ruby Legs. #MLB
In fact, the first perfect game in #MLB history was thrown by Worcester’s John Lee Richmond. The box: http://bit.ly/KmpPyM #RedSox #Phillies
In 1980, on the 100th anniversary of Richmond’s gem, I wrote a story about it for the Worcester Telegram, my first paper. #RedSox #Phillies
The story must not have won the Pulitzer, because I can’t seem to find one around the house. But it was fun to research. #RedSox #Phillies
Bryce Harper: 2 for 2 with a BB so far in his first game vs. #Orioles. Not that we needed another reminder, but: The kid’s a gamer. #Nats
Harper is 19 years old, and teams are pitching him like he’s Lou Gehrig. Good lord. Wait until he actually is Lou Gehrig. #Orioles #Nats
I can’t believe Andy Pettitte is back pitching for the #Yankees. What, Jimmy Key wouldn’t answer his phone? #MLB
Saturday
I’ll Have Another wins the #Preakness. I’m sure the other horses are thinking: Bartender, puh-leeze cut him off.
Monday
No joke: Before he became one of the #MadMen, Don Draper used to play for the Brooklyn #Dodgers. Check it out: http://bit.ly/JjaOTK #MLB
Let’s hope this on-field mishap involving Shanny isn’t a bad omen. Wasn’t the last #NFL coach to get run over Sean Payton? #Redskins #Saints
Kellen Winslow Jr. sounds surprised #Bucs don’t want him. He must have missed that he scored 15 fewer TDs than Gronkowski last season. #NFL
Always thought Winslow Jr. could be a lot better player if somebody’d just remind him he’s not the Kellen Winslow in the HOF. #NFL #Bucs
To me, the #Redskins‘ new practice facility will always be The Bubble of Mystery. We’ll never know all that goes on in there. #NFL
I will say this, though: A practice bubble — mysterious or otherwise — is a perfect expression of #NFL secrecy and paranoia. #Redskins
Last tweet on Winslow: He has 437 career catches, 23 TDs. The two other TEs who put up numbers like that: http://bit.ly/LmEY3V #NFL #Bucs
If Davey really is considering the closer-by-committee option, the committee should consist of Stammen, Stammen and Stammen. #Nats
That hold H-Rod got credit for tonight wasn’t for him holding the lead, it was for #Nats fans holding their breath. #MLB
Rodriguez getting a hold just makes me think of the chicken-salad-sandwich scene in “Five Easy Pieces.” http://bit.ly/LwwjlQ #Nats #MLB
Tuesday
Jose Canseco, 48, made his home debut Monday for the Worcester (Mass.) Tornadoes of the Can-Am League. http://bit.ly/KjVZyU #MLB
Canseco on Guillen: “He’s a good dude, but damn, Ozzie, learn some English, Ozzie. You’re killing me; you’re killing the Latins with that.”
Maybe, while Canseco is in Worcester, he’ll box Vai Sikahema between games of a doubleheader. http://bit.ly/L2jcWZ #NFL
Loretta Lynn was 15, not 13, when she was married? Who does she think she is, Marv Levy? #NFL #Bills
1. Shanahan trampled on practice field. 2. #Redskins lose salary cap grievance. This stuff is supposed to happen in threes, isn’t it? #NFL
Two things happened to H-Rod: 1. Was rushed into role he wasn’t ready for. 2. #Nats got good in a hurry, so everything was magnified. #MLB
The best thing about Donald Driver winning #DancingWiththeStars is that I doubt the #Redskins will trade a 2nd-round pick for him. #NFL #Fins
Wednesday
NBCUniversal will furnish 5,535 hours of #Olympics coverage — and just think: the 100-meter dash will take up less than 10 seconds of that.
You know that collision Shanny had in practice the other day? Well, not to worry. I just heard he has a $200 deductible. #Redskins #NFL
Five hitless innings for Cole “Old School” Hamels. Wonder if he’s throwing an emery ball tonight. #Nats #Phillies #MLB
Whoever wins the #NHL’s Eastern Conference should waive the right to have home games in the Finals. The #LAKings are unbeatable on the road.
That HR off Papelbon was just LaRoche’s way of reminding him: Hey, I was your teammate once for nine days (July 22-31, 2009). #Nats #RedSox
#Devils 5, #Rangers 3. Once again, the #NHL playoffs are 60 minutes away from being Tortorella-free. #Caps
Did that HS kid in Fla. really have his diploma withheld because he Tebowed, or was it because he completed only 46.5% of his classes? #NFL
Thursday
LT dealt with his son selling his Super Bowl ring better than Ochocinco handled the theft of his Starbucks gold card. Go figure. #NFL
Love De Smith ripping #NFL for “fight[ing] us on a number of workers’ comp cases.” #NFLPA ignored pre-‘59 players for decades. A scandal.
Friday
Charlie Sheen claims he DIDN’T buy LT’s Super Bowl ring. But he did say, from what I hear, that “Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steel.” #NFL
