The question is not whether you are cynical, the question is "are you cynical enough?" In revisiting Don Garber's exclusive interview to Steve Goff, the natural cynical reaction is to start the countdown clock to St. Louis United ... However, if you move your cynicism from a detached worldview in which the Laws of Man are dominated by the Law of Murphy to a more bitter one where the world is one where those of power have all been handed a script, and play their parts, and no one bothered to let

Let me take you back a year to Draft Day 2008. Vinny has pulled off the popularized 'trade back for more picks' move to perfection. The Skins now have THREE 2nd round picks! Multiple starters are on the way! Multiple holes are going to be filled! Then the salesmanship began, as Vinny talked himself into the unthinkable--drafting three pass catchers in the 2nd round. Instead of multiple starters coming in, we got multiple headaches, as one receiver (Kelly) couldn't get off the training table with

Ryan Zimmerman thrust his right fist into the air in the bottom of the 9th inning as he rounded 1st Base. What was left of the largest crowd in Nationals Park History was on it's feet stomping in delight. For the third time in this Opening Game of 2009 at Nationals Park, Our Washington Nationals had fought back offensively--countering their pitching and defensive woes. And with Adam Dunn and Elijah Dukes waiting on deck, The Perfect Closer of 2008 for The Philadelphia Phillies--Brad

This is our issue with The New Statues at Nationals Park ... They are too confusing to look at ... The very fact that The D.C. Commission on The Arts & Humanities followed through on a tremendous tribute to three of Washington's greatest baseball players should not be taken for granted. This is a well deserved honor ... Walter Johnson, Josh Gibson, Frank Howard and their respective families are worthy of the tribute ... The Big Train is arguably the greatest pitcher of all-time. Josh Gibson the

That melancholy feeling had already set in when Austin Kearns lost a routine fly in the sun during the bottom of the 8th Inning at Turner Field against The Atlanta Braves this afternoon. A subsequent errorless triple lofted by Jeff Francouer that was the final nail in the coffin of this winless opening week of baseball for Our Washington Nationals ... Nothing seemed to stop this Easter Sunday's Sixth Consecutive Loss to begin the season ... The See-Saw swinging up and down in their play on the

Call it the opposite of last week ... This was a more entertaining match, with United having stretches of strong possession and creative attacks ... At the same time, Real Salt Lake had the edge over the course of all ninety minutes, and the result is a fair reflection of a game where RSL was one goal better than United ... This was an enjoyable match, for a neutral ... We are not neutrals ... Therefore this match is an abomination ... Seriously, if you want to know, this is my nightmare, but

Good For Shawn Hill

His teammates helped him out, especially reliever Luke Gregerson and centerfielder Scott Hairston, but what really mattered was that Shawn Hill garnered his first victory of 2009 late last night against The San Francisco Giants. Pitching into the sixth inning at Petco Park, the now jersey number 34 wearing former Washington Pitcher got into some serious trouble during that frame, allowing his second run of the evening while loading up the bases with no outs ...

Delay Of Game

Published April 11, 2009 at 1:45 a.m.

Tonight's two hour rain delay in Atlanta perfectly embodied the first four games of 2009 for Our Washington Nationals ... Just when you think Washington is going to pull ahead, something goes wrong ... A rally dies. A defensive stop take place ... Our Pitcher gives up a home run ... 14 hits are stroked but 16 runners are left on base ... 4 bases loaded situations and only one run scored ... Too many strikeouts--12 in this 10 inning affair. Some of our batters need to cut down on their swings ...
