Fick-talian?!
I spent yesterday morning planning our spring training jaunt to Florida for the first week of March. We didn?t really have much choice on the date while working around our timeshare schedule limitations. This will be the first time we?ve used a timeshare - and not even at the resort we were ...

"I don't think that would be smart for me to participate without a contract. As soon as I get that stuff squared away, I'll be there, ready to go. It's all part of the business. I don't think there's any hard feelings, either way."(Ryan Zimmerman, via Associated Press, 2/13/2009)

HELLLLOOOOO WASHINGTON!
The Nats are going worst to first! Like the 1993 Phillies, The Nats will rebound strong in 2009. Scott Olsen was a great pickup. Lannan will mature....Hell, the whole staff/team will mature! Zimmerman...The Pitcher...may surprise! Look for Hernandez and Flores to add greatly to Zim, Guzie and Dunn. Wily Mo is healthy...PLEASE GOD! and Lastings Milledge and Elijah Dukes will...

the 19-year-old phenom shortstop from the Dominican Republic who
received a $1.4 million signing bonus from the Washington Nationals,
the biggest international signing bonus in franchise history.
Nationals Briefing: Perez Holding Out
Ok, this is just down right ridiculous. P Odalis Perez is holding out of
mandatory reporting for pitcher and catchers because he is unhappy with
his contract. Seriously. And according to report, he may not show up
anytime soon. Seriously.
