Nationals Inquisition

  

BLUE MAN GROUP, originally uploaded by Blue Man Group Brasil.

So last night I finally went and saw this James Cameron film, Avatar that everyone has been gushing about. It’s a sci-fi epic about humans warring with blue cat people. It cost me about $21 for two tickets and I have to say I didn’t get my money’s worth. I was expecting this revolutionary film with revolutionary technology, but when I got in there and put on the fancy little glasses, I realized had seen this already years ago, once in Chicago and once in New York.

It’s called the Blue Man Group.

I rather would have stayed home and blogged naked. So that is what I am going to do now.

Blog. Naked.

Orlando Hudson Is A Tease – Orlando Hudson says progress is being made between him and a team and a deal, but he would not say what team exactly that is. According to our files, the Padres, Indians, Mets and Nationals have all at one time or another been linked to Hudson although the Mets might be out of the running because they can’t unload their other second baseman because no one wants crap.

It’s another baseball mystery. I know what to do. We need to slap a deerstalker hat on Phil Wood, stick a pipe in his mouth and let him run around the Nats locker room trying to unravel the clues because you know, the Nats locker room is where it all happens.

Mark Lerner Abuses Optimistic – Mark Lerner talked to Bill Ladson via e-mail about the State of the Nats and remains optimistic for the 2010 season. He is so optimistic, he tries to use the word everywhere he can in the interview.

I think he is trying to tell us something.

Bad Baseball Team, Bad Music – The Dave Matthews Band and the Zac Brown Band will be playing at Nationals Park on July 23rd. It is the second concert to be held at Nationals Park, unless you count the visit by the Pope so it might actually be the third. I heard the Pope rocked the joint.

Ugh. Really, DMB? One of the most overrated bands in history. Only in America can you sing about eating and satellites to the beat of music that you’d kiss your sister to and still your called an “artist.” They need to bring cool acts to Nationals Park. I’m thinking exhuming Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones and bringing them in for a show is a great idea.

Ronnie Belliard Is Fat – The L.A. Times reports that former Nats infielder Ronnie Belliard has been resigned by the Dodgers– but only if he weighs 209 pounds or less during some point in Spring Training. Belliard played a role in the Dodger’s playoff run last season, but the team is concerned about his weight and what added weight might do to his production. So it is lose it or lose it, for the one Nats fans called “Belly.”

I don’t know why people want him to lose weight. Fat people make life so much more entertaining and make people feel better about themselves. I see that fatty Ronnie Belliard walking down the street and I’m like, “Maybe my life isn’t so bad afterall. Thanks Ronnie Belliard!”
