SSSShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..everybody don't talk or even think about mentioning....him.... cause the GDT will read what you posted and make your hard-drive spin (no offense to spinman) out of control.

I think you should provide us with a traditional Ed Stroud type of distraction - right here in the GDT.

Seriously.  This is an offense worthy of a Mike Rizzo firing.

From an AL opponent we have yet to lose to (Mariners)...to one we have yet to win against (White Sox)...our only previous meeting with the Pale Hose occurred last season at Nats Park and we were swept, 18th-20th June 2010; the first of these matches (a Strasburg start) featured the sixth-highest attendance in Nats Park history (40,325).

Thunder Road (but almost any Boss song before 1980 probably had a car theme)

Are any of these songs considered #badasstunes by Blaine Gabbert?
