lots of teams making moves recently, it's still all quiet on the nationals front.

We weren't supposed to make any of those moves though.

Please advise regarding a proper substitute. I want to learn the letter of the law.

Beat his bishop?
Burp his worm?
Crank his shank?
Dink his slinky?
Flog his dolphin?
Grease his pipe?
Hack his mack?
Jerkin' his gherkin?
Milk his chicken?
Onan's Olympics?
Polish his sword?
Strike his pink match?
Tickle his pickle?
Unclog his pipes?
Varnish his pole?
Watch the eyelid movies?
Yank his crank?

Note if none of the above are appropriate substitutes I can provide more.

Okay, we need a Post of the Month nomination process.

would you be disappointed with Abreu and Sheets? 

A's are talking to Abreu, btw.

Can Abreu play first?

[hammondsnats]

fuentes to the angels.  FA's are going quickly. 

[HalfSmokes]

would you be disappointed with Abreu and Sheets? 

I would, he is in heavy decline- I'd perfer what we have in the outfield over him (unless willingham slides to first), but I'd ratehr spend the same money on Werth next year.

Haha, I just want to make the point that the term "monkey" has alternative meanings aside from what you are assuming here.  See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Monkey

Did you guys see the results of the poll on Chico's blog. People voted for the top 10 Nationals related storylines of 2008.

Now, for the rankings, by importance. (The number to the right represents each storyline's mean ranking. For a more detailed description of each storyline, refer to the previous post.)

1. Nationals Park Opens -- 2.64
2. The Nats Lose 102 -- 3.05
3. Injuries, Injuries -- 4.49
4. The Young Talent Grows -- 4.67
5. The Bid For Tex -- 5.37
6. Crow Flies -- 5.71
7. Money Missteps -- 6.06
8. A Shortstop Emerges -- 7.17
9. Pink Slips For The Staff -- 7.69
10. Manny Loses His Halo -- 8.12

Figures. Morons care more about the damn stadium than the actual team.

I agree with the stadium being first, I'll probably be spending a large portion of my summers there and will likely still be doing so long after anyone on the team now has retired

You mean the "mods"?

Tom is the only moderator currently.  And me, if you count that.

I don't think it is that at all. It is more that with the Opening, DC baseball finally had a place to officially call home. RFK was fun, but it still felt transplanted.

Shucks. You know what they say about assuming. (When You Assume, You Make An “A**” out of “U” and “Me”)

I am even more confused. So many choices. Please advise further regarding a proper substitute. Sadly I am still unclear regarding the letter of the law as well.

The girls would probably have the opposite opinion.

My marketing team and I do not concur with your assessment. The sequel offers more gratuitous euphemisms and is more aesthetically appealing to most young male viewers. We anticipate a larger turnout.

Well, my team of crack poets points out that you had some awesome alliteration and a-whatever-it-is-when words-have-the-same-vowel-sounds-in-them-ation going on in the first list. "Tickle his pickle"! Oh snap!

With the Cubs close to finalizing another trade -- right-hander Jason Marquis to the Colorado Rockies for right-handed reliever Luis Vizcaino -- the deals are seen as a precursor to the Cubs negotiating a free-agent deal with outfielder Milton Bradley.

The Washington Nationals are believed to have offered Bradley $30 million over three years, and the Tampa Bay Rays are also in the mix, sources tell ESPN.

 

[hammondsnats]

wow this thread is twisting and turning more than the Teix and the Nats thread haha.

Absolutely sickening if true.

[fan]

Best value on the free agent market has to be Abreu.  He or Willingham to first.

[cmdterps44]

Milton Bradley? Ew, is AZ related to the FO or something? (Bowdens the Owner right!!!!!) haha

Manager Stan Kasten must be off his rocker.
