"We have a real good chemistry this year. We have a nice group of guys and we are having fun. We can hit. We hit last year. We just needed the starting pitchers to keep us in the game. We are going to score a lot of runs and win a lot of games."
(Wil Nieves, via Nationals.com, 4/22/2010)
Nationals 6, Rockies 4: If a team wins in Washington D.C., and no one's there to see it, does it make a sound?
Good News! Nats are back above .500 thanks to another "scrappy", "gritty" etc. win.
Bad News! Plenty of good seats still available. The smallest announced crowd in Nationals history (11,191) at the game last night.
Good News! Strasburg dominated yesterday in AA, and the team isn't going to rush him up to the majors.
Bad News! Ryan Zimmerman left last night's game after feeling a "cramp" in his OTHER hamstring (not the one that made him miss a week already this season.)
Good News/Bad News: Jason Marquis is heading to the DL because of "loose bodies" in his right elbow. So that's why he's sucked so bad! Ted Lerner would like his $15 million back, please.

Did Wil Nieves not wear the silver Elvis wig last night? When he hit the double, I immediately started looking forward to the pic.

It's a good question. cass.
We watched all the MASN post-game stuff + Comcast sportsnight + ch. 4 sports last but didn't see the wig. Maybe, like Livo, his head is too large?

Someone needs to order a plus-sized Elvis wig, stat!
