Gio Gonzalez has ugly slide into third base (Video)

Found May 07, 2012 on Holdout Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Gio Gonzalez
TEAMS: Washington Nationals
Giants_vs_athletics_0fa4
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez isn't used to running around the bases, and it showed Saturday when he advanced to third base from second on a groundout and slid horribly into the bag.

Kids, don't try this at home.



Gonzalez slid feet first and ended up on his stomach as he slid over the bag. The important thing was that Gonzalez was safe and didn't hurt himself, and was able to get a real good laugh out of it afterwards.

Via Macho Row  |  May 07, 2012
It looked ugly right away, and Jayson Werth's reaction told the story well enough. The Nationals confirmed last night that their star right fielder suffered a broken wrist while trying to snag a ball in the outfield last night against the Phillies.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals – Game 29

Via This Is Getting Old  |  May 08, 2012
When people say that the Pirates can’t spend money, or that they aren’t just one player away I chuckle a bit.  Those same arguments could have been made about the Nationals.  The difference is that while the Nats drafted well, they ALSO spent money on the big league club.  Can you really succeed without doing [...]
