Morgan started a pull-apart between the Cardinals/Brewers.

I guess he was mad he struck out or something.

Some Plush tweets.

All the moronic racist responses to the article are a hell of a lot worse. However, Ray Charles is a legend and Nyjer needs to shut the hell up.

Quote from: Willingham Lavish

Former #Nats 1B Dmitri Young just told me that he is looking to make "a return" to the big leagues as a player in 2012. #MLB

Quote from: Walter Lumberman

Former #Nats 1B Dmitri Young plans to play in the Venezuelan Winter League starting in October.

Ummm, what?

At first, when I saw it was Dmitri talking about a return, I thought it was to a buffet line.

Jerome Williams gave up 2 in 6.1 tonight. I think he had 6 scoreless before losing it.

Found this on the arrival of Dunn and Kearns in Cincinatti and their linked decline.

Having seen what they’ve become, Dunn and Kearns are no longer bantered about as "What ifs." They are simply the symbols of a great era that never was.

Dunn and Kearns in the same breath is a bit of a joke.

Not quite a former Nat, but a former Chief. A story on Chase Lambin:

Hammer just hit his 29th last night. I know we've been over this countless times, but having Morse at 1B and Hammer in LF would have worked out pretty nicely this year. I still get why we needed to trade him and HRod has shown some promise recently, but keeping Hammer would have helped solve at least some of our offensive problems this year.

1) HROD
2)He can DH, less wear and tear on his body
3) Morse would have had a worse season if he'd been in LF the whole time
4) HROD

Considering his injuries, our glut of OFers and still desperate need for a CF leadoff guy, moving him to the AL and... Oh yeah, HRod, who was godlike on Sunday. Never mind the fact you couldn't predict Willingham would have the year he had. Look at Adam Dunn, batting .159 with 180 Ks who needs six ABs tomorrow to qualify as the worst BA ever in ML history, by nearly .20 points. You can't predict the way these types of guys in a similar mold will pan out from year to year. And, did I mention his injury history? Oh, and we got HRod. It worked out for the best all things considered based on what we knew last year. I might find fault with a lot of Rizzo's moves, not this one.

1. One good outing means nothing.
2. He's played 96 games in the OF this year, he's plenty healthy.
3. Morse would have played 1B with Willingham here. So, false.
4. One good outing means nothing.

96 games in the OF is almost 70 NOT in the OF. C'mon.
