After Rick Ankiel was DFA'd last week, it was only a matter of time before his unconditional release. That happened today: the Nationals unconditionally released Rick Ankiel.
To commemorate the day, we present the "Ankiel House of Horror" video above. This might be the oddest Rick Ankiel-themed video in history -- goes from just odd to deeply disturbing around the 20 second mark...
(Screencap via MASN/TV)
I think Ankiel could throw a baseball from center field through her earrings.

Thank you. While that might not be what Rick expected, I know that I would be thrilled with such a tribute. Of course, my name does not lend itself so well to such a masterpiece.
Yes, I did laugh out loud.

I don't even know what this is, really. Might not sleep well tonight. Thank you?

Where did you find this? This is beyond strange.

Not one clip from the field? This is something other than a 'tribute video' .. somebody has issues.

The Nationals should have kept Rick Ankiel!!! He would have been their World Series Hero. I just know it. They may choke now! P.S. Strasburg should keep Pitching!
