Gio Gonzalez calls Mark Lerner "the pimp with the limp", dumps a beer on Ted Lerner's head

If you didn't love Gio Gonzalez BEFORE last night, then how about his post game interview with MASN's Kristina Akra, in which he hugged Mark Lerner (who was in a walking boot) and yelled into the camera:

"The pimp with the limp right here! The pimp with the limp! And he came out! And he came out! That's the love right there...Oh my God. I can't hug him too much. The guy is walking around with a limp."

...and also (via Mark Zuckerman/Nats Insider) dumped a beer on Nats owner Ted Lerner's head in the clubhouse:

Over in a corner of the room, managing principal owner Ted Lerner -- maybe the only person in the building alive for Washington's last baseball title in 1933 -- watched with a smile on his face, an "NL East Champions" T-shirt over his dress clothes.

Gio Gonzalez marched over and dumped a beer on the 86-year-old's head.

"Looked forward to it," Lerner said.

I don’t know what was better, watching the Nationals celebrating their NL East title or seeing Kristina Akra wet. She is a goddess whether wet or dry, wooo! The Mayans were right, the world will be ending on 12/21/2012. Incidentally, your website is the best Nats site out there. Let's Go Nats!
