Can't get enough of the plethora of video clips on YouTube showing Todd Coffey sprinting in from the bullpen? Here's another. Love the reaction of his teammates.
On that note, here's a freebie for Nationals marketing folks (Andy Feffer, I'm looking at you): Todd Coffey vs. the Racing Presidents at NatsFest March 30th.You can thank me for this great idea later. Our money's on Coffey.

Raise your hand if you'd love for MASN's Phil Wood to name the former Nats who enjoyed losing, and were content to simply slink back into the clubhouse after a loss and play cards:
"Maybe this club won't contend, but they'll sure have the personnel to put up a better fight. Rizzo and manager Jim Riggleman wanted more guys who hate losing, who aren't content to simply slink back into the clubhouse after a loss and play cards. If a few bats go flying, so be it. Some in-your-face encounters? Why not?"
(Phil Wood, via MASNSports.com, 1/20/2011)Come on, Phil. Name names!
