:hysterical:This morning's 106.7 host was talking about the Nats' losing...he blames most on the pitchers, which has merit, but he also mentioned that this team has a bunch of clods raking in buckets of cash who are performing at the federal minimum wage level....in other words, the only thing most of these duffers are thinking about (because it certainly is not baseball!) is their next bloated pay check.
Only Harper and Escobar are making a considerable effort to earn their dinero....the rest are just showing up, while trying to show off...I was out of town for about 10 days, and tuned in ESPN from time to time...about the only mention of the Nats was after yet another loss....when they (rarely) won, they got an 8 second clip; when they lost, the talking heads played minutes of video showing these eff-ups at their true 'talent' level...which is pathetic.
No fire, no strategy, no learning from their vast amount of mistakes (mostly hitting, or what passes for hitting) while their vaunted pitching staff's era climbs over 4....but their paychecks keep comin' in.
This team is really 2005 with a larger payroll but similar results.
