"It hurts."
(Mike Rizzo, via Nationals Journal, 8/27/2009)"It's broke, guys, and I'm done for the year."
(Nyjer Morgan, via Washington Times, 8/27/2009)
Tony Plush, also done for the year.
Nyjer Morgan's season cut short August 27;that's more than four months after the Nats season effectively ended April 6th.
Some idiots wrote him off as Nook Logan without the HGH immediately upon his arrival. Nyjer Morgan made 'em look like really dumb idiots. See you in CF in 2010, Mr. Plush.
Without Morgan, Nats' playoff chances take a serious hit: This morning, they're just 26 back in the Wild Card; 28.5 back in NL East race. Will Pete Orr arrive in time to save the season?

Makes me think of the question at his ESPNZone appearance where he was asked about not sliding headfirst as he tends to overslide.
Or, you know, stop doing it because it is an unnecessary healthy risk that places additional wear and tear on your body and puts your fingers, hands and wrists at risk.

I love Nyjer Wilson!!
This is off subject, but I'm curious to know. I think the Nats have the ugliest home uniforms in baseball. If they would incorporate a little blue and maybe put a W on the chest, they would look a whole lot better. And the present numeral style has got to go.
The road unis look pretty good because the color scheme is a whole lot better.
Is anyone else annoyed by the home uniforms or just don't care?
