TEAMS: Washington Nationals,  Oakland Athletics

Sexy Ladies Over 21 Wanted

ATTENTION LADIES: The Washington Nationals have a star pitcher in need of a date. Pursuant to request, only sexy ladies over the age of 21 need to inquire. This Saturday, the Washington Nationals will be holding their Dream Gala 2012, and star pitcher Gio Gonzalez needs a date. Mr. Gonzalez made his need known publicly via his personal Twitter account. Ladies, this is no run-of-the-mill Major League ball player. Gonzalez has made himself into a bona-fide star. Coming off of an All-Star 2011 season with the Oakland Athletics, Gonzalez currently has a 8-2 record with a fabulous 2.35 ERA. With all the success Gio has had on the field, it appears he is in need of a bit of help with his personal affairs. So, apply quickly sexy ladies…This could be another start of something fabulous.

Here’s the Gonzalez tweets:

Hey I need a date for the gala on Saturday night, an sexy single ladies interested…..

Via AP on Fox  |  June 11, 2012
Washington Nationals rookie Bryce Harper returned to the lineup Monday night, one day after he didn't start because of a sore back.

The Battle Between Wang and Detwiler Continues

Via The Nats Blog  |  June 13, 2012
When Chien-Ming Wang came off the disabled list, moving him into the rotation and sliding Ross Detwiler to the bullpen made sense. Detwiler had been struggling in his most recent games, and Wang had been slotted to have the fifth starter role ever since Spring Training. But since returning, Wang hasn’t done much to impress since taking over Detwiler’s spot, and enough may be...
