Wow, thank God for the Nationals. (Sorry, Michael.) The Nationals managed just six hits today, but we'll give them some credit as they were facing All-Star pitcher Brandon Webb who reportedly didn't have his best stuff. The Nats just can't get any R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
The D*Backs, on the other hand, are definitely on a roll as they recorded their second straight win by defeating the Nats 2-0 on the strength of a blistering 4 hit game. Come on, boys, let's keep those bats hot!
After the flurry of ball busting trade activity in the NL Central, the NL West may now pick up the complimentary coffee maker/espresso machine located under the flashing blue light and head for the door. Might as well beat the traffic.
Meanwhile, as if the season weren't bizarre enough the name Bonds, Barry Bonds, is being rather fecklessly tossed about the upper echelons of the Arizona front office. FOR REAL. This kind of reminds me of a basketball team that went after some guy named Shaq. Note from Mr Kerr to Mr Byrnes: That didn't really work out all that well.

Man, that was painful to watch. Of course, all Nat games are painful to watch, which explains the lack of R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
On an optimistic note, at least the article made me realize I'm not the only one watching.
I wish everyone could hear the Nat commentators. The best way I can sum it up is a line from Major League as Wild Thing walks batter after batter: "I don't know how these batters can lay off pitches that close". They spent twenty minutes complaining that balk wouldn't have been called by most umpiring crews (noting, of course, that technically speaking it was, in fact, a balk).
Ugh.

Good call on likening a Bonds deal to the Shaq deal. I lean towards not signing Bonds but I can see the upside of it.
