Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo put the World Series trophy up in the window of his home to pay homage to what should’ve been Major League Baseball’s opening day.
Or at least that’s what he wants y’all to think. Don’t you believe that. Not for one second. Because, let me tell you, I know a grade A flex when I see one. And, buddy, this is a grade A flex. And a flex that we should all be able to truly appreciate.
In sports, we always seem to want our idols to be humble — especially in baseball. But you know what? Humility stinks. It’s boring. We’re all stuck in the house right now and bored already as is. We don’t need more boring.
What we need is this. I bet you he hopes the Astros saw this tweet.

This is an ever-so-subtle way of calling the rest of baseball’s losers. And it’s amazing. Shoutout to Mike Rizzo for bringing the fun back even when we don’t have any games being played.
