I know this video doesn’t have anything to do with the Nationals but I just had to include it. The Arkansas player (at bat) first fakes getting hit by the pitch. Where he makes a very convincing display that he has been injured. He eventually gets over it. Then, after striking out, he throws a […]

How about a “Pink” Petition?
( Nationals News )
WOW! Obviously pink bats, pink wristbands and pink ribbons suit the Nats. Of course a huge lapse of enthusiasm by Braves’ 1B LaRoche didn’t hurt. But I’d like to propose petitioning Bud Selig to let players use pink bats in ANY game. Our guys can use all the help they can […]

A PINK perspective on the Nats!
( Nationals News )
As a grandmother of 5, I look at sports a little differently than the stereotypical fan. I love the human interest side of the subject. The same curiosity that compells me to find out why Brittany is dumping Kevin makes me want to know what is going on in Livon Hernandez’ personal situation […]
