Nats' 30 in 30 on MLB

Posted on Nationals Fan Boy Looser on March 21, 2010 at 6:33 PM

Just a quick drive-by today as I come up for air during the greatest first NCAA tournament weekend maybe ever. I'm firmly on the St. Mary's bandwagon now. Are the Gaels fun to watch or what?I taped the Nats' show on MLB, or whatever you do when you have a DVR. I guess you can't call it "taped" since, you know, there's no tape.I'd like to say the show was terrific. It was fine, typical of those types of thing. A hardcore fan like us crazies wouldn't learn anything new. One small part of it made my weekend along with all the great basketball: I could watch Ryan Zimmerman's park-opening home run on an endless loop every waking moment the rest of my life. It never gets old. Ever. I swear I can see myself and my wife when they show the stands behind the Nats' dugout.Love the Madness. Love... | More

(AP Photo/Richard Drew) Browse more photos There's nothing like getting beaten in 26 of the last 35 regular season games played to make you despise (in a fun-sports-kinda-way) another team, and for the Washington Nationals to have that team be the Florida Marlins, the Jeffrey Loria-owned-reward-for-destroying-the-Expos, who've managed to win two World Series in their 17-year-existence while the Nats have only recently begun to recover from the damage Loria inflicted upon the first Major League Baseball franchise to play outside the US, only makes it worse. So far this Spring the Fish dominance continues, with Florida 3-1 in 4 games (that don't count), and this afternoon (at 1:05 pm EST on the radio on XM/185 and MLB Gameday Audio, which has... | More

This Week In Baseball - 3/21/10

Posted on The Nats Blog on March 21, 2010 at 10:45 AM

The MLB bloggosphere and mainstream media were sent buzzing after it leaked that the Phillies were kicking around the idea of offering their slugger Ryan Howard, for Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols. While the supposed trade was never more than a hypothetical, the idea caught the imagination of many and played on the fears of a few. Despite Howard being a perennial MVP candidate, there are many who believe that Pujols will end up being possibly the best hitter ever, meaning the Cardinals probably wouldn't have even considered the trade were it ever offered. ... It was leaked this week that Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington tested positive for cocaine use during the 2009 season. Washington was subject to a random drug test in the middle of last season, knowing that he would test positive, he reportedly admitted his use to MLB officials before the test came back. Washington released this... | More

Ive been under the weather since Friday night. In fact, Ive been in a bit of a coma. Im not sure what happened, but I am thinking it had something to do with Fridays 13-5 Nats ST victory over the Cardinals. I started feeling a little woozy when some nobody named Tyler Greene took Stephen [...] | More

[ Photoset on Flickr ] I awoke to the news that Strasburg and Storen had been reassigned to minor league camp. I felt a little disappointed that I wouldnt get to see Drew Storen pitch on this trip, so I was quite surprised when he took the mound in the 9th inning against the Marlins. [...] | More


News from Nats Town- The Status of Zimmermann and Guzman's arms

Posted on The Nats Blog on March 21, 2010 at 1:13 AM

Jordan Zimmermann, the Washington Nationals top prospect in 2009, is set to have his first bullpen session since reconstructive elbow surgery last summer. The 23-year-old is expected to throw 10-15 pitches from the mound Monday at Nationals camp, until now Zimmermann had been building arm strength throwing three days a week on flat ground. Zimmermann scorched through the minor leagues after being drafted in 2007. In just over two minor league seasons he made 37 starts, posted a 15-5 record with a 2.81 ERA and 215 strikeouts in in 195.2 innings pitched. After only one start in Triple-AAA, Zimmermann took his arm to Washington and was in contention for the National League Rookie of the Year before an elbow injury forced him to receive season-ending Tommy John surgery. With Zimmermann throwing his first bullpen session early next week, the righty is ahead of schedule. Tommy John surgery can keep pitchers... | More

Hours after he'd been told he was being sent to Minor League camp along with his fellow '09 1st Round pick Stephen Strasburg, (and then to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where he'll pitch for the Double-AA Senators for a month or two before getting a call up to the nation's capital, where both pitchers are expected to debut at some point in late May or June), the 22-year-old former Stanford Cardinal closer Drew Storen was called upon to pitch an inning of relief for the Washington Nationals in their Spring... | More
