The Silver Wig Appreciation Society

[nats2playoffs]

This is why MLB needs a team in Las Vegas.

The players would gamble away their entire big salaries... in one series played there.
   

There will never be a team in Las Vegas, for that reason alone.

The Sports Bog has a shot of the bachelor party guys but it's not a great picture.  He also has a picture of bearded guy from the Hangover who was at the park on Friday, that was the funniest movie I can remember seeing in a very long time.

I saw Zach live and almost died laughing. He's so amazingly funny. Jealous.

Wig recipient for today's win is unknown, probably back-2-back Willingham, but no confirmation.

Edit - I stand corrected.  We have CONFIRMATION that it was back-2-back Willingham.

Unknown wig recipient in San Francisco, San Diego and Houston wins.

San Fran should be Adam Kennedy(pretty darn good day), San Diego should be in my opinion Matt Capps, and today... Uh. Gosh. I'd say the Zimmer or Maldonado.

Yesterday has to be Nyjer

Yesterday has to be Nyjer

Its tough. Guzman, Nyjer, and Zimmerman all had great days.

Hey now, let's not forget Dunn's two clutch hits and four RBIs.

Honestly though I think they probably gave it to Maldonado yesterday.  They seem to like giving it to rookies/callups.

That would be a classy thing to do.  Make the guy's brief (and possibly final) callup to the bigs a memorable experience.

Agreed, the guy has earned it with all the time he's put in in the minors. We're a classy group so I hope it happens.

What a game. I told my friend as we were leaving the stadium about the shaving cream pie in the face. Did Strasburg know it was coming and who did it?

Lost in the excitement is the fact that the 3,4.and 5 hitters all hit home runs in the same game. Has it be done before this year by the Nats or ever by Zim, Dunn or Hammer?

[Mathguy]

Lannon did it

Got some great Strasburg Elvis wig photos after his debut last night:

Looks like we should expect to see him sporting the "do" a few more times between now and August.

P.S. Lannan did pie #1.  Olson gave Stras a towel, then hit him with another towel full of Barbasol.
