i know nobody cares besides me, BUT...

when is  due back? i haven't heard any news or updates. i remember someone saying this Tuesday?

imo, he should be given a chance to "redeem" himself at second upon his return.

[ronnynat]

We're not getting updates like we used to w/ the new guy at the Post. I'd like him to return soon, too, regardless of whether or not he starts. I definitely think he'd make us better.

I'd rather see the pimp & willie split secondbase. Let Willie play against the sinkerball/slider types and belly take the rest. Belly murders 4 seem fastballs.

Willie should start once a week, at most. He's not worthy of more than that. Lopez is the better all-around player even on his off days.

[Nat of the Living Dead]

Have they surgically removed the bat from Belliard's shoulder yet? No? We aren't missing a damn thing.

Lopez isn't going to be back next year and we might as well figure out if Willie is worth ather $750K contract.

Infielder Ronnie Belliard, who has been on the disabled list because of a left calf strain, is expected to participate in on-field activities, which includes taking ground balls and running the bases this coming week.

He'll fit right in with our Murderers' Row. They Murder good Nationals pitching performances.

Send him down to Potomac

A demotion to Potomac would make him more accessible to the fans and he can distribute Bazooka bubble gum pimp style.

He was so right: no one cares about Belliard and now we see why.

I hope we never see him back here again. That was a bad extension.

[PatsNats28]

Well at least its the last year of the deal for him....

He's signed through '09.

[sportsfan882]

haha, Belliard is playing for Potomac tonight.  I think they are just letting him get a few more ABs there and then travel with the team to Pittsburgh tonight after the game.

[Air Zimmerman]

perfect timing!  is activated the same day that i will be in attendance! i hope he starts tonight...

hopefully  's return will rejuvenate the team!

[tomterp]

hopefully  's return will rejuvenate the team!

Exactly what the team needs, a shot of youthful exuberance.   

[BangZoom]

I'm glad Ronnie Baseball is back.  He's a much better option than Felipe Lopez.
