Albert Haynesworth is being paid $37 million over three years to play professional football in the NFL, and he is officially in worse shape than a 61-year old. Say what you will about rookie salaries, they’re certainly not the ONLY problem with the NFL’s player compensation approach. [via]
SWEEP!....almost
In the eleventh inning, we lost. barely. almost a sweep of the Phillies. for the first time ever.
Final Score: Phillies 6- Nationals 4
Final Score (Saturday): Nationals 7 - Phillies 4
If the Nats had won in extra innings it would have been beautiful. I got the chance to listen to sundays game on the phillies radio station, and they had high praise for many of the Nats. It's nice to hear people actually talking about the Nationals as being good.
Just miscellaneous Nats news to report on:
Bryce Harper back to college? please oh god no. He posted on his facebook that he was probably going back. Probably just a scheme to get more money, but a brilliant and scary one.
Dunn is not gone. Thank god. Now Rizzo, get off your ass and sign him.
Went down to the Hall of Fame and got plenty of Nats/Senators/Expos stuff. will post asap. probably tomorrow.
Including Strasburg's hat. Our boy's already in the hall of fame with less then 10 games played.

Heading to Montreal for a week!
Tumblr access may be somewhat limited, but I’ll try just for you lovely ladies and gents!
And yes, this is a page from when Spidey met the Montreal Expos (and the Green Goblin showed up to terrorize some kids on bicycles. Oh, and the Expos team. Them too.)
When Spiderman met the Montreal Expos. @MLB needs more comic book appearances.
Phillies Phun
The Nats give the Phillies a good old fashion whooping.
Final Score: Nationals 8 - Phillies 1
I w hat very well might have been Adam Dunn's last game, the Nationals put on a show. As if they were saying "Welcome to the NL East, Roy Oswalt" Nyger Morgan kicks off the game with a triple.
or should i say Tony Plush kicks off the game with a triple.
I ended up having to go work and couldn't make the game tonight but i'm disappointed that I couldn't. This really showed those Phillies fans that the Nationals are not a joke, and truly a force to be reckoned with.
Although we couldn't sweep the last series maybe this one? We've got two pictchers who could be EXCELLENT if they are healed. While the Phillies have....not that.
Also, it looks as if all has been restored between Miss Iowa and Miguel Batista. I think he might be trying to work some of his charm on her too. Understandably though, because she's quite the looker.
I'll be in Cooperstown till Sunday Night so I won't have any updates but I'll be sure to get pics of all the Nationals/Expos/Senators junk I can find.
Next Up: Nationals Vs. Phillies with Ross Detwiler pitching

BREAKING NEWS Pt. 2: Guzman is gone!
Due to this being less then 48 hours till the deadline, breaking news is going to abound.
I just recieved word that Christian Guzman has been traded to the Texas Rangers for prospects. More details to follow as I get them.
I'm very happy about this. I've never been a fan of Guzman and while Kennedy is the weaker of the two I'm glad we got rid of Guzman. Let's just hope we got two very good prospects.

Bryce Harper posted this status on his Facebook page earlier this week:
Probably going back to CSN to try to win a National Championship!!! :)
And the first comments? Why, those would be from Manny Machado, the high school shortstop the Orioles took No. 3 overall in the draft, saying that he, too, would be interested in joining Harper at the College of Southern Nevada next year.
Two of the top three picks in the draft, pulling a LeBron-and-Chris and taking their talents to Las Vegas? And they’re saying this three weeks before the signing deadline?
Any chance these guys have something in common, besides playing for the U.S. National Under-18 team - like maybe a representative?
Don’t do this to Nats nation. Don’t do this to Nats nation. Don’t do this to Nats nation.
 it's all Scott Boras. A ploy for more money for these two. They'll both be signed come August 14th.
So that's who's pitching...
Scott Olsen, back from his injury in late May. I'm a self proclaimed Olsen fan. When he's in his groove, he is good. Very Very good.
And although he let up 2 runs, I was extremely happy with his performance this afternoon. And Ian Desmond's performance was also one to be happy with. Knowing that he is the shortstop for the next decade or so, I love to see him play well and not have errors all over the place.
Final Score: Nationals 5 - Braves 3
Another well played game by the Nats. Maybe, we CAN pull ourselves together and make a run at .500.

I'm going to start crediting the photos so people don't think that I take them.
Next Up: Nationals Vs. Phillies 7:05 Craig Stammen? (maybe?) Vs. Roy Oswalt (In his Phillies Debut)
p.s. I may or may not be at this game. If so I'll tumble plenty of pics tomorrow.
BREAKING NEWS: Matt Capps Traded
I hate Matt Capps. He tuggs at my heartstrings. He makes me scream at the T.V. everytime he pitches. But he did a damn good job while he was here.
I assume Storen is the new closer then? or Batista? (personally I hope for Drew "The Future is Here" Storen)
Excellent deal for Matt Capps too: He was traded to the Twins for Wilson Ramos, the #58 prospect according to Baseball America and one of the top catching prospects in baseball and LHP Joe Testa whom I really don't know much about.
Goodbye Matt Capps and fond farewells.
P.S. This only furthers my love of Mike Rizzo. He is a god.
Training Camp Begins!
Can you feel it coming?
The greatest season of them all is coming up. NFL season. (at least in my humble opinion)
Training camp began today, and guess who failed their physical? Albert Haynesworth of course!
I would make fat jokes here, but surprisingly he's slimmed down. Guess he actually did do his own workout routine.
Let's just hope he's better then last year.
Wizards Roundup!
Every once and a while I'll post a Wizards Roundup during the off season. Sometimes I'll post news right away if it's huge. But more likely I'll wait till a couple stories build up. Since I began this blog here's what has happened in the Wizarding World of Ted Leonsis:
Kirk Hinrich came to town. I truly belive that this was a good move, even though he's way past his prime. He's going to be a great mentor to Wall, at least better then Arenas would be.
JaVale McGee was cut from Team USA. This isn't much a surprise to anyone, what has been a surprise is how well he was playing up to this point. A sign of things to come? We can only hope.
Josh Howard resigned to a one year rumored 4 million dollar deal.
Where's the Beef?
or the offense as some of us like to call it.
Final Score: Braves 3-Nationals 1
Once again Michael Morse is all the offense the Nationals can get. If only we had a team full of Morse. Or I would settle just having him start every game.
Also, any way we can get rid of Adam Kennedy is a good way. Trade him in a package with Capps for some solid minor leaguers. One really good one and 2 or three solid ones.
Pictured: Morse carrying the entire team.
Next Up: Nationals vs. Braves
P.S. At this point, I'm really unsure who's pitching. All I know is Livan is pitching every 5 days. But if I had to venture a guess, It would be Matt Chico.
Imagine if you go to see Miss Universe, then you end up having Miss Iowa, you might get those kind of boos. But it's okay.
Miguel Batista
(via learnthemusic)
The Strasmas that never happened
Nationals 3 - Braves 0
Stephen Strasburg scratched from the roster due to arm issues.
I'm VERY happy Rizzo scratched him from the lineup. We don't want to risk in injury this early in his career.
Speaking of Rizzo being right...how about Nyger Morgan. Looks like he's having another great second half. Although I don't want to jump off the Nyger hatetrain just yet.
Batista pitched a beaut and the offense showed up just enough to win this one against the Braves. A much needed win for the Nats. Let's try and sweep the Braves and flip the division on it's head.
Next up: vs. Atlanta Braves with Livan Hernandez pitching at 7:05.
I bet Leonsis is fuming right now...
100 percent of the vendors at the Verizon Center had health code violations according to a new report from ESPN.
100. Percent.
That's disgusting. But I can guarantee that by next year. It will be down. and in five year, it will be completely empty. Because that's the kind of man Ted Leonsis is.
Remember people, this is the beginning. But it's the beginning of something great.
/ Ted, it would be wonderful if you could lower the prices on everything. please. we're begging you.
Opinions? Livan's lost younger brother?
Looks to be another solid 4 or 5 spot pitcher. We seem to consistently sign those, don't we?
