Elijah Dukes
« Previous EntriesCountdown to Epic Fail: T-Minus 10
Thursday, September 11th, 2008With the Nats on the cusp of their first 100-loss season, we will countdown to the momentous occasion here after each loss leading up to the milestone.
Nats lost another slugfest with the Mets, 13-10 last night. It was another shitty performance by their starting pitcher … blah, blah, blah … let’s get to the good […]
Milledge-Dukes Tecmo Bowl Showdown
Friday, August 8th, 2008Lastings and Elijah have taken divergent paths of late — Milledge hit 4 HR this week, Dukes hit the DL for 4 weeks — but what they share in common is the love of a certain late-’80s Nintendo classic (from a recent Washington Post online chat that I can’t find on their site; emphasis added):
Herndon, […]
Doctors Is Full of Shit, Dawg
Monday, July 7th, 2008As Jamie already noted this morning, we are quite sad over the loss of Elijah Dukes for at least four weeks, although likely much longer. But hold fast, playboy, Dukes might have some plans of his own. Let’s compare what the doctors be sayin’ vs. what Dukes is schemin’ on.
Bitch ass physicians:

Elijah Dukes and the Spiraling Sadness
Monday, July 7th, 2008It’s fitting that I heard the news via text message from Chris:
Dukes just blew out his knee.
Turns out it’s a torn meniscus and partially torn patella tendon, which puts him on the shelf ’til mid-August and maybe beyond. It’s a damn shame, really, because the kid was having a dream 2008 after a nightmare ‘07. […]
Acta Clearly Ain’t Scared of Nobody
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008Let’s get the formalities out of the way: Last night was a fantastic win for the Nats — the type of victory that keeps us watching one of the worst teams in baseball. They came back to win the game thanks to a go-ahead homer from Lastings with two outs in the 9th. Now, to […]
Elijah Dukes Treats Umpire Like a Bitch
Saturday, June 7th, 2008Why would Dukes dawg treat an umpire like a bitch? Probably because an umpire is acting a like a bitch. Via Chico Harlan’s Nationals Notebook:
On Thursday night, Elijah Dukes’s mammoth home run to dead-center … triggered anger from plate umpire Doug Eddings, who, Acta said, was displeased by Dukes’s celebration.
Earlier in the at-bat, Dukes […]
Elijah Dukes Hits One of the Sweetest Walk-Offs These Eyes Have Ever Seen
Thursday, June 5th, 2008And on Mr. Walk-Off A.K.A. Ryan Zimmerman Bobblehead Night no less!
So much to love about the 10th inning walk-off smash (video forthcoming down below via that fine fellow Brian Powell at Awful Announcing):
It was Dukes’ first HR of the season. Finally.
It snaps a four-game losing streak and came after blowing a 7-0 lead.
Bill Simmons says […]
Nats Will Not Go 0-17 Against the Mets
Friday, April 25th, 2008Excuse me for a moment while I rudely interrupt the Wizards sights and sounds shitfest for some Nationals lovin’. They beat the Mets 10-5 last night, and unlike DeShawn who was simply tip of the orange flame hot, Felipe Lopez was blue flame white fire hot. He had six RBI, including a tiebreaking grand slam. […]
