On Monday night, left fielder Wily Mo Pena was so down after going 0 for 4 with two strikeouts that Harris said he found him in tears.
(Washington Post, 4/22/2008)...Just down the hall, hitting coach Lenny Harris was consoling Wily Mo Pena as the teary-eyed left fielder tried to make sense of an 0-for-4 night, including two of Hudson's three strikeouts.
(Washington Times, 4/22/2008)
Braves 7, Nats 3: WiMP feels the pain. Nats can't overcome Tim Hudson or MAAtt Chico. But on the bright side, 13 hits is a sign of life from the offense.
Is it too late to hit the reset button on 2008?

We could also start using "MoPe".
Looks like great footwork by WiMP in the picture above as he avoides running into that ball he missed...

Imagine the tears from Pena when he becomes the 3,000th strikeout victim of John Smoltz. I'm predicting that it will happen in the 3rd inning tonight.

CKS: "MoPe"! I like it!
SPA: I like that prediction!
Hey, you'd cry too if nobody would throw you fastballs anymore and that's all you could hit...
And just for the record: I love WiMP. I was dead serious when I said I thought he needed a hug -- I feel bad for the guy.
