and like Rijo, you gotta go. "Politicians and mobsters," said Jimmy Breslin, "will never find anything too small that's not worth stealing." Add General managers to that. The case will linger on and have details, but does it matter. A well paid baseball man...

This is what i'm talking about Nat fans! Youts! Young stars to mesh with an aging vet to make our pitching staff worthy of 80+ wins. Who that aging vet is ~ is a mystery to me at this point. This was a nice 2nd day of Spring training. Nats.com reports: "Right-handers Collin...

Skimming bonuses and a kid with a bonus who really isn't who he says he is! I'd say Old Jim Bow is destine for a release fairly soon. A poor first half and he's in palookaville. It'll take a Nats run like in the inaugural year to save Jim Bowden now. And even that may...
The Rotation

Lannan and Olsen are (2) #2's in any one's rotation these days. Perhaps they are(2) 2 1/2s. Perez, and Cabrera eat innings. The dream is for Zimmerman to be the phenom late into September, Hill to be resurrected, Bergmann to be 15-10 and Balester to become the Patterson we...

What in the name of Benjamin Button is going on here! A blood test would have given his age. Smiley ain't gonna be smil'n when he gives back the bonus money. 23 mean he is at the end of his rainbow. 19 would have made him a burgeoning star. This screws up the entire infield...

The Nats are going worst to first! Like the 1993 Phillies, The Nats will rebound strong in 2009. Scott Olsen was a great pickup. Lannan will mature....Hell, the whole staff/team will mature! Zimmerman...The Pitcher...may surprise! Look for Hernandez and Flores to add greatly to Zim...

He looks like he might grow another foot! Let's hope he's a staff horse like Livan was for so many years.... But Jerome Williams looked good for a short while, too.Don Sutton gave him the thumbs up in a nutshell...he is a great analyst.Ever notice how Harris is batting well...

don't the Phillies just love us! We have caused them problems in the pennant race for now 3 of the last 4 years. As a former diehard phillies fan, I get great satisfaction from causing these cheap b------- to have to struggle to win. Can you imagine if the sillies went after Sabathia...

We have a 7-2 lead in the 5th. I'm here to say that if we blow it it is indeed my fault. Did I not call Bonifacio our lead off hitter of the future. Talk about a Fedex delivery of the book on our boy Emilio in short order. He went from Ichiro to Who the F*%$ knows! I take the blame...

Out with the Old! LoDuc, Estrada and Felipe! Sorry to say that Felipe was not up to the challenge. He was everything that a premier middle infielder should be but he never emerged. LoDuc was lost after the needle scandal and Johnny was over weight. If he kept in shape he would have...

But the real news is Estrada is no more. Johnny Estrada could have put a few more years on to his career but he never seemed to be in shape and injuries put him on the #4 of the 4th catcher out!Langerhans making me believe that he is more than a glove with no stick. The numbers don...

and Felipe is gone! Bonifacio is the next lead off hitter and the second baseman with speeeeed! He'll light his jets until the beginning of September until the call up, but a Closer is for winners, and the D-backs are setting their sights a bit higher these days. Good Trade.Guzie...

Wily Mo NO MO for atleast two months. It seemed like the big guy was hurt for a while. Much like Austin Kearns was battling an injury for most of the early season before his trip to the DL.Da Meat Hook needs to address the diabetes. No joke. It's a tough life to constantly be keeping...

We suck! Feels good to say it twice. But we ain't owned by the Steinbrenners, we have the pockets that can rival the Cubs, Dodgers, Yanks and Bosox and the Atlanta Braves built from the "pitching" farm system and "hitters", and they sucked for most of the 1980...

After reading this very, very comprehensive report on the minors, rest assured the goal of the Nat Front Office is to groom the pitchers and to get the bats via free agency...IMHO
