Wednesday, January 16th, 2013The other shoe from the Adam LaRoche re-signing finally dropped: Washington traded Mike Morse to Seattle in a three-way deal with Oakland that nets them right-handed starter A.J.

Cole lost some of his luster after an up-and-down year [...]
Nats Get LaRoche For Two Years
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013Washington is signing Adam LaRoche to a two-year deal, and not the three-year deal he was seeking. It’s a good scenario for Nats fans, although not so much for Mike Morse.

Lost amidst Davey Johnson’s “worst game ever” was Mike Morse’s three-run homer, a 465-foot blast that just about landed in the Red Porch. It was the longest HR the Nats have hit this season, and the longest HR in Nats Park history, by 24 feet. Beast.
Appreciating Mike Morse’s 2011
Thursday, September 15th, 2011We previously looked at Jordan Zimmermann’s 2011, deeming it one of the best a Nats starter has ever had. That tells you how brief — and unimpressive — Nats history really is. So will this: Mike Morse may be having the best offensive season any Nat has ever had. For real.
Coming into today, he [...]
