Mr. Cabrera has been cut by the Washington Nationals because, quote the GM, "I was sick of watching him." I'd imagine that's in reference to his 0-5 record and near 6 ERA. But his hitting prowess of 0-11 with 9 Ks and 2 BBs probably didn't help. Overall Cabrera improved his career batting by putting two balls in play and walking twice but still sits with a .000 average and 23 strikeouts in 21 at bats.

May 29, 2009
San Diego State pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who will likely be the top pick in the upcoming Major League Baseball draft, lost his first game of the season in the Aztecs' 5-1 loss to Virginia. Strasburg had been 13-0 during the season, but lost SDSU's first game in the NCAA regionals. He gave up a first-inning home run and the team couldn't recover. He did a heck of a job...

Game chat: Phillies, Nationals play the second
Cole Hamels gets the ball when the Phillies look to go 9-2 against Shairon Martis and the Washington Nationals. First pitch is 7:05. Tonight's focus: fielding. Is it any suprise that Washington, which had the worst record in baseball, is also the worst fielding team in the league? Defense counts, big time.

The Nationals do not have much going for them right now. Their bullpen is atrocious. Lastings Milledge is in AAA. Elijah Dukes is hurt. Their starting rotation is young and inexperienced. And let's not forget to mention that the Nationals are already 20 games under .500. And it's not even June yet.Yikes.Even though the team has struggled mightily, Crisitian Guzman has performed...

In Defense of Liberty
Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether Nationals Manager Manny Acta is stoic and unresponsive to the point of narcolepsy - he is. But you can't hold a manger responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted umpires. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole umpiring system? And if the whole umpiring system is guilty, then isn'...

Needle Washing
Did you hear about this dude who says he supplied the Washington Nationals with 'roids? Since they're such a new team (moved in '05 from McGladeland), doesn't that just confirm what you've been thinking: that this problem isn't really going anywhere?I would like to thank our friends at the Goodwin Library in Hartford, where my mom and I had our Dirty Water...
Interview with Terrmel Sledge
Before the May 4th Fighters-Marines game in Chiba, I had an opportunity to chat with Terrmel Sledge for a few minutes. It was coming off of the crazy weekend where the Fighters had three extra-inning games in a row, two of which involved walkoff home runs. I realize the timing of posting this isn't so great as Sledge is currently rehabbing from a hamstring muscle strain, but...
Red State Blue State - My Kind of Nirvana

If Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Ted Williams' frozen head got together and had a baby, it would be Matt Wieters.There's just one small problem with...

The next PED storm cloud gathers on the horizon
Earlier this week, before the Manny-stuff, I posted about the latest PED bust. I know, we are all sick of these sorts of things: the shady characters, the allegations, the dirt, the sleaze. This one is no different, sadly. Thomas told detectives from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office after the raid that he was the largest steroid dealer in central Florida and had provided steroids...
