Now Batting For the Nationals...Who????




Just glancing over the hometown Nats' non-roster invitee list. It reads like a list of..well, nobodies. Jason Simontacci. Joe Thurston. Darnell McDonald. Melvin Dorta. These guys aren't even has-beens, they are never-were's. Sure, there are a couple of retreads, somewhat-recognizable names: Tony Womack, Ray King, Tony Batista. Guys who are way past their prime. What would Manager Lou Brown from "Major League" say?

GM Jim Bowden: How would you like to manage the Nationals this year?
Lou Brown: Gee, I don't know...
GM Jim Bowden: What do you mean, you don't know? This is your chance to manage in the big leagues.
Lou Brown: Let me get back to you, will ya, Jimmy? I got a guy on the other line asking about some white walls.

Thank goodness for Ryan Zimmerman and John Patterson, because besides them it's going to be a loooonnng year in DC...

I think DC is trying to send the team to another city... Doesn't seem like anyone knows anything about anybody within the franchise! Have fun, wish we could join you this year... My comments will still linger in the air... "Booooorrrrrriiiiiinnnnnggg"
