Ready or Not, Here Comes Bryce Harper
Friday, April 27th, 2012Some things move ahead of schedule. With the Nats currently in first place despite an anemic offense, the team’s brain trust decided it was time to give 19-year-old Bryce Harper a call. As The Washington Post reported, Harper will make his Major League debut tomorrow in Dodger Stadium. Harper joins the roster as Ryan Zimmerman [...]
Ryan Zimmerman’s Contract Extension Is A Win-Win-Win
Sunday, February 26th, 2012If you’re Ryan Zimmerman you’ve got to like $100 million over six years, with a no-trade clause to boot. If you’re the Nats you’ve got to like buying low on a premier third baseman, locking him up through 2019 or ‘20 (club option), when he’ll be 36. And if you’re a Nats fan, you’ve got [...]
Ryan Zimmerman Really Is Mr. Walk-Off
Sunday, August 21st, 2011This is from Friday, so you probably saw it, but here it is for posterity:
Allow me to list the awesome things about this, beyond that it was a walk-off grand slam to beat the Phillies in a Phillies fans-filled Nats Park:

Watch This Cubs Fan Get Zimmerman’s HR Ball and Throw Another One Back
Friday, August 12th, 2011Jump ahead to the 90-second mark to see a fan on Waveland Ave. outside of Wrigley Field track down yesterday’s Ryan Zimmerman longball:
What an odd sequence. The kid chased down the ball, grabbed it, swapped it out for another one and then threw the dummy ball back over the bleachers and onto the field. Maybe [...]

Four Ways in Which the Ryan Zimmerman Injury Isn’t So Bad for the Nats
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011In case you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Ryan Zimmerman’s abdominal surgery has him out until at least mid-June. Also, we killed bin Laden, even if birther-types won’t believe it until we see the photos, damn it. (I’m looking at you, Luke Scott.)
Anyhoo, the Zimmerman news is obviously bad. He’s one of [...]

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011Our first post today led with Charlie Sheen and the Nats, and our second post had to do with bros canoodling, so it’s kind of crazy that our third post somehow combines all of the above (@charliesheen via Nats Enquirer):
I really don’t have anything to say about this other than Ryan Zimmerman’s model game has [...]
Ryan Zimmerman Lands On DL; Nats Have TONS of Replacement Options
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011Ryan Zimmerman will officially be placed on the 15-day disabled list sometime on Tuesday with an abdominal injury, just before the Nats start a three-game series with the Phillies. Seeing as Zimmerman is their best player, this means the team will be playing musical chairs both in the line-up and in the field.
For the batting [...]
