LATEST STORIES FROM EUCALYPTUS

Nationals Park on Fox Sports Houston

Even the Fox Sports Net Houston broadcast of the Nats-Astros game today encouraged fans coming to Nationals Park to use Metro. Unfortunately, the announcers were a little confused saying a new Metro station was under construction, but unfinished. By Brick Barrientos, February 8, 2008.

Fire Joe Morgan on Dusty Baker

A glowing profile of Dusty Baker in the Cincinnati Enquirer was skewered by Fire Joe Morgan and ends with this cryptic tribute to the Nats skipper: Now if you'll excuse me, I have to run a level-5 diagnostic on the M.A.N. eACTA. His verillion modulator is on the fritz. By Brick Barrientos, March 10, 2008.

Cordero and Ayala Read the Cat in the Hat

The picture of Chief and Ayala is from an event Sunday morning where they read The Cat in the Hat to kids at Spacecoast Stadium. It needs the MASN voiceover of,"Whattayagonna do, Ryan Howard?" By Brick Barrientos, March 10, 2008.

Nats vs. Braves, Boog Sciambi and Painful Injuries

Watched the Nats play the Braves on Fox Sports South. Patterson and Hanrahan looked good, but Ayala blew the shutout and the save. I wonder why he went two innings and Cordero wasn't brought in for the save. The game ended in a 2-2 tie after 11. Jon "Boog" Sciambi did the play-by-play. I'm a bit biased for him for pwning Buzz Bissinger last year. Sciambi seemed very knowledgeable...

Wily Mo Out Fout Weeks

Wily Mo Peña will be out four weeks with an oblique muscle tear. I have no evidence, but I have always associated muscle tears with performance enhancement use. It's as if the body can handle the strain of the larger parts. I'm predicting 71 wins at this point and even the Orioles may pass the Nats win total. Only the Giants are certain to have a worse season. By Brick Barrientos...

Nats Pound Tigers. With the Nats Gone, United Loves RFK.

The Nats pounded Tigers pitching. But it's only spring training so that means jack. Now that the Nats have moved out, United loves RFK again. By Brick Barrientos, March 18, 2008.

Red Sox Delay Spring Training Game

The Red Sox held up a spring training game and threatened not to go to Japan over the stipends paid to the coaches. The last time the Red Sox came close to boycotting a game, they won the World Series, but wouldn't win again for 86 years. By Brick Barrientos, March 4, 2008.

Should the Rays Hold Back Longoria?

John Romano suggests sending Evan Longoria to Durham after spring training: If Longoria is on the roster on March 31, he will probably be eligible for free agency after 2013. If he is in the minors until late April, he won't be a free agent until after 2014. That means the Rays could either keep Longoria for a month in 2008 when he is just beginning his career and the team...

John Patterson Released

The Nats released John Patterson. Zuckerman adds concerning his contract: He was given a nonguaranteed, $850,000 major-league contract over the winter. If he had made it to Opening Day, the contract would have become guaranteed. Because he was released within 16 days of Opening Day, the Nats are now only responsible for 45 days of prorated salary ($212,500). Had Patterson been...

Odalis Perez

It looks like the opening night starter will be Odalis Perez. I was hoping for Tim Redding. This has nothing to do with Perez not having pitched a game for the Nats before. Would you begrudge Opening Night to Johan Santana, Erik Bedard, Jake Peavy or Brandon Webb if they were new Nats? Of course not, especially if you believed those aces were going to pitch Opening Day next...
