Found May 30, 2009 on *D Cowboys Corner:

Matt Wieters just turned water into wine! Not only that, I heard that when Matt Wieters wouldn't come to the mountain, the mountain came to him! And all that happened right before he attained nirvana to become the Buddha! 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 all this hoopla. Matt Wieters plays for the Baltimore Orioles so no one really cares. In fact, despite the disparity of their records, I still firmly believe that there is only one team near the Chesapeake Bay that actually matters. And that team, my friends, is the Washington Senators. I mean Nationals.

The Nationals evoke a Hobbesian system at its finest. Their chances of winning, similar to how Hobbes described life, are typically "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." And if only the Nats didn't make it so easy, we'd probably just leave them to their inauspicious demise. However, when you do this:

...you leave us with no choice.

So take your Matt Wieters. Me, I'll take my Washington Nationals and their fearless leader, Teddy Rossevelt any day.
