Great point.

How bout that!

How about the bullpen pitching 2 1/3 scoreless, hitless, and walkless innings? Pretty impressive stuff.

Wow...didn't think they'd win at all in April!

OUCH! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while...going the whole month of April without a win should have meant the entire team being sent down to the minors...that would be a travesty!

With only 1 win so far the Nats don't deserve another thread so I'm burying this here.

FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Nationals, 3B Zimmerman agree to new contract

Seems like a pretty reasonable contract to me.

Nationals Journal - Dukes Scratched For Violating Team Rule

I heard on ESPN this morning that Dukes was 5 minutes late for a meeting because he was doing some event/signings for some Little Leaguers. The team benched him (their hottest hitter now) and threatened to send him to AAA if it happens again.

ESPN showed other teams that had similar mix ups and it just makes you wonder who the hell is making these jerseys!

The Nats have been doing this a lot this year. One of their pitchers had the "N" sewn on upside down.

If he was joking he got me. The Nats N on their jerseys isn't a perfect letter N. If it was upside down, it would surely stick out.

LOL. Just saw it on PTI. Can't pitch, can't hit, can't spell.

gibbsisgod · 04-21-2009, 12:20 PM

And this is supposed to be a professional franchise. I have half a mind to write them a letter if I knew they had somebody that could read it.
