The Curse Continues - Stephen Strasburg, the Nationals overall #1 2009 Draft Pick and personal Minotaur, has been scratched from his upcoming Saturday start in the AFL due to a neck strain. Listed as day-to-day, the team says this course of action is merely precautionary.

That means Strasburg’s head is going to fall off. I swear, I’d rather have 10 black cats run by me as I break into the Mummy’s tomb so I can break a few mirrors for kicks than have to endure the curse that it is to play on the Nationals. The team can’t seem to ever catch a break– err, a good kind of break.

Welcome To the Suckession – After finishing dead last in the MLB for the second season in a row, the Washington Nationals laid off 15 employees– from their team executive offices.

Sadly, the Nationals probably fired personnel from the wrong branch of the organization. There are probably 15 employees on the actual roster that deserved to be fired more than these people.

Toodle-Loo - Nationals catcher Josh Bard and pitcher Livan Hernandez have decided to test the free agency pool rather than spend one more moment on the team of destiny known as: The Washington Nationals.

Bard’s attitude and character was terrific, but sadly he just doesn’t have the talent to completely round him out. As for Hernandez, the team might dodge that bullet yet. He would be a horrible extension and I think the team knows it even though half-wit fans want to bring him back for nostalgic reasons and because, “Livan loves D.C.!” Obviously, he doesn’t love it that much.

Baseball Mud – Baseball mud. It’s an article on baseball mud.

I think the Nationals have something to do with baseball so it counts.

UPDATE: The Nationals Journal gives us how Strasburg got his neck injury:

Strasburg’s injury occurred while he was sleeping; he awoke and felt soreness in his neck. He was seen by a doctor and was diagnosed with a strained muscle. The Nationals are expecting Strasburg to be back on the mound within a few days.

That means we have to have someone watch him 24/7, even while he is asleep so he won’t exert himself too much. This guy is an animal. Even asleep he makes us all crap our pants in amazement.
