Nats Reach 30 Wins on Father's Day
We've Got Heart — ... Everything was on today. Austin Kearns was player of the game. He went 3 for 4 with an RBI double and a fantastic catch in the 9th inning. It’s nice to see Kearns hitting more than once in a game, and we are glad he is out of his apparent slump. Given that it was a holiday, it’s no wonder that ...

The Boys are Back in Town!
We've Got Heart — ... The 5th inning proved to be rally time for the Nats. With runners on 1st and 3rd, Young singled to send Ronnie Belliard home. Church followed suit with a single to score Zimmerman. Austin Kearns was up next. Kearns finally got out of his RBI producing slump and smacked a great double, sending in two and giving the Nats a lead. It’s great to see Austin hitting and producing those RBI’s again! Lopez gave the boys a little more insurance in the 7th inning when he hit a double to score Nook Logan. ...

Nats’ Postgame-Handshake Culture Clash
Mr. Irrelevant — Excluding Paul Lo Duca, we’re lovers of all Nats: black/white, heavy/light, tall/short, young/old, healthy/hurt, good/bad … what have you. That said, some shake hands better — or at least differently — than others. Observe, from yesterday’s 1-0 win: Not sure which is preferable (though Guzman’s dry-hump technique is real nice), but thankfully none of the four chose the dreaded fist pound. Seeing a dozen of those bad boys ...

Center Field Gate — ... ) to Toronto for Roy Halladay. And shipping Dunn or Willingham to Detroit (where the Nats are said to be scouting the Tigers’ double-A affiliate) seems perverse — trading players who are actually performing for a bunch of 21-year-olds who might (or might not) turn into major league players. That we got. Then too, a trade of Willingham to either Philly or Detroit means that we will be forced to watch a struggling Austin “Mendoza” Kearns (.198) learn how to hit. A good decision — but only if you want to drive what’s left of your ...
