Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a giraffe and a horse take in a reds/nationals game
What I want to know is, how’d they score such killer seats? Read more ›

Want to Bid on a Laundry Loop Used to Clean Stephen Strasburg’s Belongings?
Sorry it’s not actually any game-worn clothing, or even a plaid chambray shirt that Nationals pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg had sent out for dry cleaning. No, it’s the laundry loop used by the Syracuse Chiefs to wash Strasburg’s uniform.And now it can be yours, thanks to MiLB auctions. Pretty sure it’s authentic, seeing that it has his name written on it. Hey, that’s good enough for me.
Bidding is up to $17 with over three weeks left. Sure it’s not the most prized piece of Strasmania memorabilia you can own, but the proceeds do go towards Syracuse’s charitable foundation, which is nice.
Here’s the laundry loop, just to whet your appetite… Read more ›

Hagerstown Suns Sends Out Media Advisory Regarding Stephen Strasburg
Stephen Strasburg is set to make his first rehabilitation start since having Tommy John surgery last September, as he takes to the mound this Sunday for the Class-A Hagerstown Suns. With the Strasburg on the hill, the Suns can expect not only a sell-out crowd, but a throng of reporters there to write about the phenom hurler’s triumphant return to baseball…or something.With that in mind, the Hagerstown Suns have sent out a media advisory reminding the scores of fans, journalists, bloggers, and anyone else that happens to be within a 5-mile radius of Municipal Stadium that young Stephen Strasburg is a delicate flower, a sweet pea perhaps, and as such, must be treated with gentle, caressing hands, a loving touch, and have minimal interaction with any human beings outside of his friends, family and teammates.
You think I’m kidding, but wait until you read the letter sent out by the Suns—it’s unreal. Read more ›

Here’s a Praying Mantis Wreaking Havoc in the Florida Marlins Dugout
That’s the little bugger right there, nonchalantly perched on the cap of Marlins pitcher Clay Hensley. Late in Florida’s 11-2 drubbing of the Nationals, the mantis landed on Hensley’s back before making its way to the top of his hat, where it stayed for nearly a half inning. As the insect started working its way off Hensley’s cap, the Marlins hurler gently placed the praying mantis on the dugout railing.
That’s when the hijinks ensued. Read more ›

Bryce Harper Facing Scrutiny Only Seen by Jackie Robinson, So Say Nats Officials
Bryce Harper, when he finally makes it to the major leagues, is going to be a great baseball player, of this there is little doubt. If he can get over his arrogance and self-inflated sense of worth, he may even go down as one of the greatest players of all-time, providing his career plays out the way most experts think it will. Because of this, and because of the age we live in, Harper is easily one of the most scrutinized athletes on the planet. His life, on and off the field, are dissected under a virtual microscope by fans, journalists, and bloggers alike.But comparing the level of scrutiny that Harper faces to what Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson had to go through is not only preposterous, it’s downright insulting.

Bryce Harper’s New Tattoos Are Actually Kind of Sweet
I know I’ve written a lot about Bryce Harper, the majority of it negative because of his arrogance and egoism, but I am mature enough to point out when someone that I don’t really care much for does something extraordinarily thoughtful.The time has come for me to do so for Harper.
That is a picture of the Nationals wunderkind in a tattoo artist’s chair, getting some ink. As it turns out, Harper got inked on both wrists this visit to the tattoo parlor.
What did he get etched on his wrists you ask?
“Mom” and “Pops” as a tribute to his parents, which is actually a nice way to honor you mother and father if you think about it, providing you’re into tattoos. Read more ›

Bryce Harper’s Custom Built Truck is so Very Bryce Harper-y
Word has it that this custom built monster truck belongs to Nats draft pick Bryce Harper. There hasn’t been official confirmation that this does indeed belong to Harper, but it possesses all the qualities you’d expect to find in a Bryce Harper owned automobile—black paint, tinted windows, and an overstated sense of self-worth.
BA-ZING! Read more ›

Bryce Harper Working on Being the Biggest Douchebag in Baseball
For all his prodigious talent, Bryce Harper could definitely use some humility. Unless of course, he actually wishes to become the next Barry Bonds, not only in baseball acumen and skill, but also in popularity and all-around douchebaggery.If that’s Harper’s plan, then it looks like he’s right on track, especially after his recent antics in a game against the Greensboro Grasshoppers this past Monday.
The Nationals phenom hit his 14th home run in the 6th inning of Greensboro’s Zach Neal, and then put on a display that even for a 18-year-old kid looked pretty bush league. Read more ›

Arnold Schwarzenegger Approves of this Stephen Strasburg Jersey Foul
Well of course he’ll be back—it’s not like Nats phenom Stephen Strasburg was sent off to war or anything. He had Tommy John surgery, and like most pitchers who’ve undergone this procedure, he shall return. Maybe even better than before. Read more ›

Nats Ryan Zimmerman Sure Can Cut a Mean Rug
I don’t know much about Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, other than he’s a pretty damn good ballplayer, and he’s one of the few players in the league whose last name starts with “Z.”Other than that, bupkus.
Scratch that. I now know something else about the man—namely, that Ryan Zimmerman is a helluva dancer.
For a baseball player that is.
Zim was in the wedding party of a high school chum, and like a lot of weddings these days, the formal entrance to the reception was scrapped, replaced with the couples in the wedding party busting a move.
When it was time for Zimmerman’s entrance, he turned that mutha out.
Video follows the jump (Zim shows up at the 2:10 mark)… Read more ›
