Bryce Harper took a portion of his day off on Thursday to spend time with young ballplayers in the Greater Washington Urban League. He also donated $2,500 to benefit the league. The fact that Harper is already taking time out of his day to give back to the community at his age is very admirable, but parents may have been left scratching their heads at the message the Nationals...

Video up above (via @Allstars_S2) of Bryce Harper getting pitching at his free baseball camp for area kids today at Fairfax High School. Pretty cool thing for Harper to do for the community, along with a donation to the Greater Washington Urban League. Wait, wasn't he supposed to be an arrogant punk?

I’m not sure where rock bottom is for New York Mets starter Johan Santana, but after becoming the first pitcher in team history to allow six or more runs in five consecutive starts, I’m sure this is close. Last night Johan was rocked by the Nationals and after the game his pitching coach Dan Warthen, when posed with the question of shutting down the former ace for the remainder...

Michael Morse connects for a grand slam against the Mets’ Johan Santana.
Mets just can’t keep any sort of winning streak going. Santana gets hit with two homeruns as Kelly Shoppach hits one of his own as Mets lose 6-4 to first place Nats.
Johan Santana is still plundering. Santana did go perfect through the first three innings with nine up and nine down. However, the fourth inning...

This milestone had never been accomplished by a New York Mets pitcher before, but it did not come with stunned gratitude by a fan base desperately waiting to see it finally occur. Instead, Johan Santana's season offered some cruel symmetry Friday night, when the first Met to throw a no-hitter back on June 1 earned a much more ignominious place in team history. He allowed...
