"The view is the same for all [teams] except the front dog. And we're all just trying to be the front dog, so we don't have to look at that view. That view smells."
(Jim Bowden, via Washington Post, 9/11/2008)
...and another view that smells, Jim? The diaper changing view! But we wouldn't trade for the world.
After 146 games this season, The Nationals Enquirer is shutting down for this weekend's three game series with Florida to enjoy the arrival of our second kid. He's a lefty, with a fastball clocked in the upper-90's.
Jimbo, if you're reading this: my kid's got better stuff than Strasburg. You know where to reach me if you want to give him a look.
Congrats dude. I recommend "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and the Miracle Blanket swaddling blanket. Total life-savers. And then my 10-month old still naps in the ergo carrier. Perfect for my blogging time.

Congratulations indeed. The first generation that doesn't remember Luis Ayala pitching for the Nats arrives.

He's handsomer than Strasburg and Boras put together. Congrats. Get sleep when you can.
