Something to honestly look foward to.
Balester is pitching tomorrow.
An honest to god prospect pitching in the majors for the Nats. Granted he was drafted in 2004, before the current regime, hell, before the Nationals existed, but it’s something. His numbers in the minors don’t look all that great, but he’s been pitching real well lately. (check out the last report on him from NFA). At only 22 if he fails this time it doesn’t mean that much, but let’s hope that he’s a hit from the start. This team needs some good new young blood. (I wasn’t talking to you, Bernadina. Just be happy to be here.)
In other news:
Sorry Jimbo. One questionable All-Star selection would not invalidate a contract full of not playing (which includes 2005. Oh! Burn!)
I totally nailed the Nats taking the Orioles series. Of course, before you pat me on the back, I also I have them going 4-9 the rest of the way. I could be right, but I bet you’d be a lot less happy about that.

Is it too early to get excited? Much more fun than watching anyone else but maybe Hill when he’s on pitch. Routinely hitting mid 90’s with movement.
Also, who can I talk to about the guilty pleasure Ifeel watching Dukes bat? (and btw, I think his turning pt a few weeks ago, really was a turning pt). Love watching Dukes approach and power..but then he does something stupid and you recall he really is an idiot in a more of malicious way than a Manny way. That said, I’d rather watch a Dukes at bat more than anyone else but Flores in the lineup.
