The Nationals Enquirer

Zimmerman out for 2008

"We're really kind of lucky that it happened now."
(Ryan Zimmerman, via Washington Post, 11/07/2007)

Zimmerman breaks bone in wrist; hopefully will be fully recovered in six weeks...

Crazy Talk

"No doubt, I'm going to decline everything...They just gave me a half-million for no reason...We've got to move forward now. I'm not mad...It's just business."
(Jose Guillen, via Seattle Times, 11/02/2007)

Bring back Jose Guillen*!

Seattle declines $9 million option on Guillen; Guillen says he'll decline $5 million option on Seattle.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, contact with the agents for Hunter and Rowand is all well and good...but really just a formality. Bring back Guillen!

*We're kidding, of course... Then again, for purely entertainment purposes...?

Fuk me? No, Fukudome!

Get Kosuke Fukudome...

...for no other reason than to provide endless fodder for blog post titles and headlines in the local papers. And then there's the jersey sales.

Then again, hmmm...those Bonds-to-DC rumors seem to be picking up steam...

Meanwhile...on-field progress at the new park...

(The video: vaguely reminiscent of Tom Paciorek trampling Bob Carpenter's call of Zimm's walkoff in June '06 against the Yankees, don't you think? Unfortunately, our staff couldn't track down that video for reference.)
