A Miracle! Jesus Swings!

 

"I don't feel anything in my elbow. I'm going to start working on my timing and rhythm. It's hard for me to say when I will play in a game, but I know it's close."
(Jesus Flores, via Nationals dot com, 3/19/2009)

And by "close", we hope Jesus doesn't mean "June".

Given the almost-daily bad news of various bumps, bruises, strains, athletes feet, and open heart surgeries involving  former (Boone, Schneider) and current (Da Meat, Guzman, Milledge, Belliard) Nats this Spring, the news that Jesus Flores took BP today is nothing short of a miracle.
