“We want a pitcher, not a glass of water.”

Ha ha. Nice.

I thought it was “We want a pitcher not a belly itcher. We want a catcher, not a tummy scratcher.”

(Oooh yeah, that’s a good one!)

Or perhaps the classic Monty Burns riff: “The hitter’s off his rocker, kissing Betty Crocker!” Oh, how he riled the late great Connie Mack at Shibe Park, back in the day with that one.

The follow up to this embarrassing story for my Nats – currently last in the NL East, but 1st in catchy dugout jingles – is that Nelson Figeroa was cut (demoted for assignment) the next day.

It was certainly not our young frachise’s proudest moment, at least it wasn’t worse.

Thank god Ryan Zimmerman’s mom didn’t show up in the dugout with sliced oranges before the game.

It would have been even more embarrassing if Cristian Guzman was caught playing cupball with several Mets over on Field 2 while waiting for his ride home.

Chanting is pretty bush league, but can you imagine if Manny Acta had taken some of the fellas out to Shakeys Pizza afterward still wearing their uniforms?

Come on, guys. No chants. Riding your bikes to the park is okay though, as long as the weather is nice and you tell mom when you’ll be home.

Also, you need to clean up the dugout better. I’m sick of the Lerners having to yell at you guys to put the bats back in the bat bag. Plus, does anybody know where Paul LoDuca’s right shinguard went?

Don’t forget next week’s practice is at Longfellow Intermediate. The field in back, behind the track.

Good win fellas. Picture day is next Saturday before the game. Make sure to have those pants clean.

AND NOW, YOUR PIC O' THE DAY!!

Why men are bad at taking messages for their wives.

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve: When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules". I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down. See ya, donkey, Terry Rindt Read more ...
