Brandon Phillips stole two bases in one pitch while they had the infield shifted for (none other than) Adam Dunn! The new atrocious statues. Frank Howard's statue has the wrong jersey number, uniform, bat brand, and just dumb looking in general. (http://nats320.blogspot.com/2009/04/disappointed.html) Nice work for remembering one our few icons! Thought of a few more…

Luis Ayala the only season ending injury in the inaugural WBC. Johnny Estrada - $1.2M = 9 Hits. Mike Bascik serving up #756. Caron Butler's first pitch.

And this just in via email: "Jim Bowden saying of Jesus Colome, "We pray for his family and for his buttocks." Also, I can't believe I forgot <a href="http://misterirrelevant.com/index.php/2009/03/16/the-nats-are-tavarezs-drunk-hook-up/" rel="nofollow">Tavarez' J-Lo comparison</a>. Classic stuff.

That's actually one of my favorite Nats moments ... in a positive way. “Frank Robinson crying after benching Matt LeCroy.”

That’s actually one of my favorite Nats moments … in a positive way.

Or the Nats not paying rent to the city in 2008? Or being the first team in modern history to be swept after leading every game in the 9th? The infield of meathook, belliard, guzman and whoever at 3rd? Fattest in history? (not sure they were ever in the game at the same time but it was possible!) What about Jim Bowden – GM?
