DMV: John Lannan’s Got Your Strasburg
By Jamie Mottram | July 22, 2009
DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.
“Eyebrows” Lannan gives the Nats the first win of the Riggleman era and the first shutout of his career. He now has a 2.88 ERA since April 12 and is 7-7 overall for a 27-66 team. And I love him. [WaPo]
Lannan reax: “Ace”, “our ace”, “slumpbuster”, “steadying force”. [Nats320, Federal Baseball, DCist, Nats Journal]
Nats GM Mike Rizzo tells Tracee Hamilton they won’t negotiate “through the media”, but a source tells Pedro Gomez that the Nats aren’t close to signing Strasburg. So that’s how you want to play it, Boras? [ESPN]
Of course, a Nats “club official” disputes Gomez’ report. [Chatter]
Phillies are interested in Willingham; Tigers in Dunn. [All Nats All the Time]
The Nats top 10 players in terms of trade value. [Fire Jim Bowden]
Ex-Nats catcher Matt LeCroy is now a Nats minor league manager. [TWT]
Ex-Expo/Oriole Delino DeShields’ kid could be a first-rounder. [Rivals]
The good, bad and ugly from the O’s 6-4 loss in the Bronx. [Camden Chat]
DeAngelo Hall has a magnificent new beard. [D.C. Sports Bog]
Steinz goes shoe shopping with Nick Young. [D.C. Sports Bog]
JaVale McGee looks like a real Wolverine nut … [Truth About It]
… and will be playing in USA Basketball’s upcoming minicamp. [Y! Sports]
Pens sign Caps No. 3 goalie (and good guy) Brent Johnson. [Caps Insider]
United advances to the U.S. Open Cup championship. [WaPo]
WJFK review: Thumbs up for LaVar, down for the Junkies. [Leonard Shapiro]
