A brief spark of lockout-ending hope arced across the sky this week. Just as appears to be plummeting back to Earth like a flaming piece of space debris… Mike Green holds a baby. My faith in the world is restored. He must know we’re out here on the raggedy edge. Short of showing up at […]
I thought the apocalypse was truly nigh when Tumblr failed to produce a single photo from last night’s Front Page Arlington Sandy charity drinking fest. Alas, Russian Machine Never Breaks saves the day! The event featured a bar crawl poker tournament (cool idea, read about it here) and Mike Green. What more does a girl need? THIS HAIR. […]
Who cares what day it is when there’s nothing to look forward to?! Listen, Bettman. I need hockey. Not just for the skating, shooting, scoring and screaming. I need a pre-game skate at the Verizon Center bumping “I Get a Good Feeling” and this man with no helmet on while I cling to a Dunkin’ […]
Our love for Movember comes in many forms. On one hand it’s gives us warm & fuzzies to see hockey players doing something fun to raise money and awareness for a good cause. Also, we like to see people looking silly. We’ve even gone so far as to suggest some people should take donations not […]
Yesterday, Mike asked: So are we, my friend. While we’re sure Mike would look be great at lifting heavy things around the WUYS office, some actual work must be done here. We can’t just be watching the help all day long, asking them to get things off high shelves and turning the heat up full […]
Bored with the lockout, Mike and I are both rebound-dating the NFL. Yesterday we watched the Ravens game. Only difference is, he was there. I was at a pumpkin patch on a hay ride with no hay. It’s a metaphor for my life. from www.RussianMachineNeverBreaks.com Don’t start sticking your hands in your pockets now, buddy. […]
So it’s Monday morning and I’ve already torn my jeans and gotten the wrong ice tea from Dunkin Donuts. Everyone in DC is off work except for me, because the movie industry does not care about the alleged discovery of the New World. Sorry Columbus. There’s only one way to save this Monday: New Mike […]
It’s Monday, and the first of October. I expected to be writing about pre-season games and the fact that in 10 days, the regular season would start on my birthday. Followed by the Caps home opener on October 12, Mike’s birthday. Instead, we’re still on golf. I’ll admit it: I saw this picture several times […]
Yesterday was pretty great. What more could you want out of a vacation day spent shoveling mulch and mixing concrete? Me, some guy, Josie, some other guys and Rhea You should all come to the Kaboom Caps playground build next year, but only if you’re prepared to work your butts off. We had a great […]
On Saturday afternoon, NHL Network replayed the Caps’ triple-OT loss to the Rangers in Game 3 of last season’s playoffs. I turned it on halfway through the third period… and proceeded to watch over 60 minutes of hockey knowing a) nothing happens and b) when something finally does, it’s horrible. That’s how much I miss […]
If you don’t follow @alexsemin, then I don’t know what you spend your time laughing at. And you missed the goobye haikus composed for his former Caps teammates, coaches, broadcasters and foes. My favorite: In my mind, the only thing Sasha Fierce ever did right: Based on this photo of Mike, taken last week and trolled […]
How I feel right now. And from my good side: Too bad my hair doesn’t look like this. Wahwaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I’m almost sorry we gave Mikey the Mondays because sometimes they are so exhausting. And I am not even remotely adorable or hedgehog-y when feeling wiped out. You know what helps? (I didn’t even have to […]
As you may have heard amid all the screaming yesterday, Mike Green has re-signed with the Capitals. Of course it happened on a Monday! He got a three year deal worth $18.25 million. The deal pays him $6 million for the next two seasons and $6.25 million in 2014-15. That is not a typo. You’re […]
“You got your Tony Lama’s on, your jeans pressed tight….” – Jimmy Buffett (Psst. Tony Lama’s are cowboy boots.) Put down your cereal spoon give thanks for Eileen Duong. Not only is she lucky and generous, but she takes a wicked cell phone photo. (All photos with permission, from eileenduong.tumblr.com) Yesterday, Mike turned down the Capitals […]
On Friday, I was meeting our friend Matt at Shake Shack in DC for lunch. He called me five minutes before I was due to arrive: “Mike Green is here. Mike Green is here.” Needless to say I ran out of a meeting and hustled up there… only to miss him by about 30 seconds. […]
Who saw Magic Mike this weekend? Oh come on, you were all thinking it. I wouldn’t count on the dance moves, though. You’ve seen how often this Mike falls down. No, really. Oh well. We are sitting, waiting, wishing for news about Mike’s contract. The Capitals made a qualifying offer on his $5 million current […]
I know you’ve gone two weeks without Mikey Monday and frankly, there’s nothing I can do about it. A certain person needs to get cowboy-ed up at Stampede or something (anything!), because I’m sailing off the edge of the internet here. Luckily, reader Emily Miller delivered this just in time for Monday: Remember on “Caps Cribs” when […]
Now that it’s June, we might as well start talking about the elephant in the room: will the Caps re-sign Mike Green this summer? Or, more accurately, does anyone want to see my meltdown if they don’t? Before I put my head in an oven like Kate Winslet in The Holiday, please read this hilarious […]
Ever think you could watch a good-looking guy just do nothing all day? TA DA! Since we missed Memorial Day Mikey Monday yesterday, the lovely Katie Howell sent us this workout video. I have to do these planks endlessly for Tough Mudder training, so I should clearly be going to Mike’s gym. He doesn’t look […]
Listen. If this whole summer is going to be about hockey players in plaid shirts that aren’t buttoned all the way… we’re going to make it after all. I don’t even care that I hate this hat, because it makes me think of a kick-ass Butch Walker song: “Lights Out” Alternative exhibits in this case: […]
