Both the Nationals and Orioles won yesterday, and both are currently winning streaks.
They told me climate change would increase the chances of freak occurrences like this, but I didn’t think it would happen so soon…

Fantasy
I don’t have a fantasy baseball team this season, but nonetheless I’m confident if I did it would be beating your or anybody else’s fantasy baseball team this week.

Work Hard and Take Shortcuts
Watching the ESPN talking heads discuss the most recent A-rod steroid allegations earlier today I noticed one of his few remaining defenders mentioned that he was an especially hard working player when he was younger.
You hear people throw around both the idea that steroid using players are lazy and don’t train hard as well repeatedly [...]

Nationals: Epic Awfulness
Now:
I freeze the DVR of the Nationals game.
15 minutes ago:
Adam Dunn gives the Nationals a 4 run lead with two innings to go.
3 minutes ago:
The Phillies drive their second run of the 9th, currently have 2 outs, 2 men on.
2 minutes after Now:
I think they can’t blow another game, and resume watching
5 minutes after Now:
Walk, [...]

How is Austin Kearns still a starter?
Every year the Nationals come into spring training with these faint hopes of improvement and they can’t even sustain the illusion until opening day. Last year we had a write up about John Petterson being healthy again, then Petterson was dropped before game 1. Same story this year with [...]

Consider Albert Belle
Watching the slow trickle of stories come out about Barry Bonds and A-Rod taking steroids I wanted to write about Albert Belle.
Between 1994-96 Albert Belle was probably the best hitter in baseball finishing in the top 3 for the AL MVP each of those years. He was the first player to hit 50 home [...]

Fire Jim Bowden
In further hard hitting analysis I think there is an increasing strong case that Nationals GM Jim Bowden should be fired. Here’s Thomas Boswell on Bowden’s missteps
Get a coveted No. 1 draft pick; don’t sign him. Promise a better team to inaugurate a new park; lose 102 games. Expect sellouts in Southeast Washington; [...]

Here is a weird and racist comment (one of a couple) from the ask and answer feature on Yahoo! In response to a question about what Major League Baseball has done for the African American community we get this:
You mean the “Black community”? I’m not aware of too many Africans floating around the US…let alone [...]

I’ve been doing some scouting for the Nationals, here the best prospects I found (from ArmchairGM: The All Robot Baseball team)
Right Field: Optimus Prime
He’s probably taller than any outfield fence. He also stands right near the bullpen in most stadiums, so if there’s a bench-clearing brawl, those pansy-ass relievers are going to stay home [...]

So I’ve been meaning post more (anything) on the Nationals. Hard to explain but the really dislike the tenor of both Basketball and Football commentary, and that pretty leaves baseball as my only option. I actually have a long list of teams with fans I can’t stand in baseball, but I think I’m more in tune with [...]
