Sorry for no new post this afternoon...
Busy day and spent last night working on trade deadline article for SBNation.com which will go up tomorrow…
Listening to Mets radio to see what they’re saying today…

Cool.
I’ll be in line on Saturday in all likelihood and there’s a good chance I’ll make it Sunday as well. Last time I went to the park on a Thursday Mets game, I missed the grandstands, bought a ticket for more cash, and then watched the Nats get clobbered. I am hesitant to repeat that experience and will try to bring sunshine from home rather than clouds at the park.

Read yesterday that Cleveland is willing to move Austin Kearns!!!

But think about the K line...

Adam-K_K-K
Austin-K-K-K
Instead of posting the strikeouts the Nats’ pitchers get, we could post a K-line for all the strikeouts that group would make.

Kearns only hits when he plays his home games in the state of Ohio
He’s got one of those shopping cart chips that activate once he leaves the boundaries of the parking lot. He is genetically incapable of hitting once he plays for a team not based in Ohio.

Even a right handed bench bat was worth it.
What made it so weird was why he couldn’t land a minor league deal afterwards. We’ll never know whether that blacklisted him or whether there was something more that we don’t know.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
Yep.
We didn’t DFA him, we gave him his outright release and then noone picked him up. His stats were better than a lot of other major leaguers but the personal history (little of which was with the Nats) hurt him. The timing of it is what was bizarre.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
but nothing ever happened like away from baseball...
I only remember a few spats in the dugout with manny acta.
Yep.
About the only thing I can remember off the field was the incident with the little leaguers where he was signing autographs and was late. There were a couple of times where he was up to the deadline with paternity payments. He never made much money here by baseball standards.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
Didn't he get fined for being late?
I thought that was ridiculous.

Good luck today
Vegas has the Mets as 55.95% favorites and my simulator has the Nationals actually favored with a win probability of 52.09%. Thus the big bet gets placed on the Nationals today.
Here is my skinny for the game: Santana is no longer a dominate pitcher and is riding an unsustainable (away from home) xFIP. Hernandez has also been lucky this year. Mets are way over priced in this game, take the Nationals at home.
They've got their own Jesus and he singled to center to start the ggame...

Dunn is much more valuable than Hammer.
Hammer is having a career year at 30? 31? How many guys can hit 40 HR’s a season?
Screech's Godson
Hammer's been pretty consisten 25HR/90RBI guy.
Florida is not that easy a place to hit. It’s possible he’s matured and his eye has improved. I like Hammer and don’t want to trade him really while he’s under team control for next year. Trade Dunn and you’ve got 12M dollars to play with to replace the wins you are losing.
Olney said 4yr/48M is what he thinks it would take to resign Dunn. That is a frightening figure.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
so..
you dont think dunn is worth 12 million a year?
i dont think you can lump dunn in with typical "old man skill players"
i think hes a better hitter than that… I mean, are we really trying to lump Dunn in with Jack Cust?
It is, but if you believe that Marrero isn't the answer, then
Our production at first will severly decrease over the next few years.
Screech's Godson
It's not a first for first game.
You can live with Marrero at 1st potentially if you have power arms to make your pitching scary. It’s like is Dunn better than Joel Pineiro. It’s not just first for first. I think credible 1st base play is easier to obtain outside of the organization than the power arms.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
Of course.. Pitching is more important than anything..
But if you lose Dunn and call up Espinosa next year, Then our offense will SUCK!!!
Screech's Godson
I think Espinosa will need a year at AAA
Everything that I’m working toward is contending in 2012 more than 2011.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
is Dunn more valuable than Joel Pinero
I would say absolutely
I don't know the answer to that question.
I don’t fully trust Wins Above Replacement.
Dunn since the beginning of 2009 is 3.3 WAR.
Piniero since the beginning of 2009 is 6.5 WAR.
Pineiero costs 8M this year. Dunn costs 12M.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
UZR brings Dunn down... Plus it isn't always accurate.
Didn’t Willie Harris have a better WAR than Dunn last year???
Screech's Godson
yes, but also consider
dunn is now at first… we can throw out the previous WARS which contain OF data, as it seems Dunn is fairing much better at first.
Don't have anyone to play first, need to add solid OFers, not subtract in Hammer's case...

You hope that some of the prospects will make progress to address these issues.
When Harper signs he’s ahead of Burgess on day 1, sadly. But between the two of them you may have a RF being developed internally. 2B we may be able to develop something internally by 2012 if Espinosa progresses. Offensively if we can just minimize the outmachines we can be okay. We just need credible hitters at 2B and CF and we’ll make improvment. It’s the lack of power arms in the rotation that’s a greater concern for me.

No power arms are quite bad when you have shoddy defense.

He's a decent guy, and will be positive with young players.
He also probably belongs in the American League where do no harm works better. I think everyone is where they belong. Bowden was a greater evil than Acta. We’ll never know what would have happened had Bowden been fired after the first 100+ long season rather than bumbled into resigning after the 2nd. We’ll also never know would have happened had the Nationals proven capable of drafting even 1 blue chip prospect while he was here. The Indians brought up Carlos Santana and he’s been great for the Indians so far.
We gave him guys like Milledge, Dukes, and FLop.

We don't know how capable he is.
For whatever reason he either didn’t take to independent ball or a minor league contract. If he was that valuable, he would have caught on much quicker.
I’m rooting for Dukes to prove the haters wrong.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
we dont know how capable
we know he is capable tho… we see that in his peripherals… even when he has bad seasons
I still think it had something to do with the ability to sign free agents
I can’t help but think that Dukes’ presence may have helped Teixeira to decide against signing here a couple years ago. And other FAs may have been deterred by having Dukes in the locker room. You can’t discount that part of the equation.

huh?
what makes you think that? And as to SD’s comment, mid level guys being black balled because they are ‘bad in the clubhouse’ is nothing new… im not saying hes an all star, but given playing time would he be solid, i would bet a large amount that he would.
The public deal was that they had adjustments they wanted him to make in winter ball that he did not make...
…which earned him a quick hook in spring training for reasons for which we will not be privy to.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
I read a few comments
about how some of the other players were never able to completely feel comfortable around him. And from working with a direct supervisor who I’m convinced was on steroids and/or some type of stimulants, I can tell you that it takes a mental toll to deal with those types of individuals. Not saying that Dukes was on anything but all the other guys knew about his past in Tampa (domestic issues et al.). It had to be in the back of their minds. Would he ever flip out in D.C.? He was well-behaved (for the most part) but there’s always that uncertainty when you had the extreme behavior in the past.

That’s why the timing was weird. Let him go or move him when he had some value. Or move him at the end of the year. Or stash him in AAA or AA and give him a chance to bounce back. There’s more to the story than we’ll ever know.

but it doesn’t quite make up for 3 months of bad play. If he can put together 3 great months at the back end of the season, I may think differently about his abilities.

One game at a time, one day at a time, one at bat at a time.
It doesn’t matter what we think. It matters that he realizes he can contribute if he focuses on a compact stroke, OBP, better defense, and remaining on base once he arrives there.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
I'm rooting for him
I just hope he can turn things around in all areas of the game.

It's all about the right deal.
I think they hold Semin and keep that move as a potential changeup option midseason once they learn how the modified roster responds. Doesn’t make sense to trade him when his value is low by his poor playoff performance. Does make sense to trade Hot Halak after an out of body playoffs.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
totally agree.
semin frustrates the crap out of me but the good outweighs the bad with him. in order to have the 40 goals we must go through the “nights off” and lazy penalties. i think losing him would hurt. there are nights were he is our best player. souldrummer will confirm this.
Ultimately, I don't see how they can afford him...
…and he doesn’t seem to be a part of their core. He deserves a shot to win a Cup in DC with Ovie if he can show progress during the first half of next year. Otherwise, you have to consider addressing the grit and penalty killing issues of the Caps by finding a trade partner desperate for offense.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
very true.
after all offense isn’t really our problem. but strangely enough, it was the problem during the playoffs. thing is people say he isn’t a playoff player. he SUCKED, and i mean sucked during this year’s playoffs, he was basically MIA, but the year before that he was basically our only offense.
The problem was the power play...
…Fleischmann, and the lack of grit on the backline in my opinion. Power play and Flash were bigger issues for me. But Semin and Green came up rather small.

I'm old enough I remember Panger as a player...very small...

I vote we start willie Harris center on Saturday....
…just to mess with the Mets mind. Having Willie Harris in the batting eye would render them helpless.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
Just put Willie's face on the big scoreboard throughout the entire game
no matter who is actually batting or whether Willie is even playing that game. That should really freak out the Mets.

And maybe hire some Willie Harris look-alikes
as clubhouse attendants and grounds crew, all hanging out near the Mets clubhouse.

On that great day when we are contenders and have legions of fans...
…we will print out Willie Harris masks and wear them to Mets vs. Nats games.

Comment from Amazin Avenue
“Damn you Willie Harris. Damn you straight to hell
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.”
Makes it that much sweeter.
heh
(don’t want to gloat too much though..karma can come back to bite the Nats)
I've been there the whole night...
…but haven’t posted too much. The Mets should seriously consider acquiring Willie Harris, though, but I guess they don’t need him now that Beltran’s coming back soon.

Keep it gentle, might get yourself banned!! :)
They should hate Willie Harris….

Hahah I know I just went over there...
They want to kill him, literally. It’s quite violent over there.
Beat the Mets, Beat the Mets....

Who's worse?
Mets fans or Phillies fans?

Phillies fans..
Philly fans in general are the WORST. There are no people on this earth as bad as Philly fans.
When I went to Philly this past Monday
I told my family we needed to take off our Redskins magnets off our car just in case something happened..
Good point.
Rough, rough, rough fans who are determined to be the least liked. It would be outstanding if McNabb helped revers the ’Skins fortunes.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
And it would be great if Kevin Kolb sucked real bad!
They would try to kick him out of Philly. I can’t wait for that Monday Night Football game at home against the Eagles!! I think McNabb is pumped up right now… I know I am
Frankly, the chances of the 'Skins assessing talent better than the Eagles...
…are not that good. Last Eagles reject pro bowler we picked up didn’t work out too well.

Punching out, postgame half-done...be up shortly along with Doghouse WPA...
I think he runs home to post them!!!

Phillies lose to the Buccos!!!! C’mon Phils. Even we can sweep the Buccos.

CD3K...sorry to hear the squirrels got all your tomatoes.
You have to construct the chicken wire device so it completely covers the plants and is anchored on the ground so they can’t tunnel under. Otherwise, they totally win.
Or this new magic potion I heard about....or a Hav-a-Heart....
Probably chicken wire panels….

Hate to tell you this, but it's a good indication of how greedy they are...
I accidentally dropped a couple of packets of mouse bait outside last year. When I realized it a couple of hours later, the squirrels had already taken them to the bamboo forest!
Alas, it didn’t stop them from going after the tomatoes.
Did I mention I hung ripe, red jalapenos on the cherry tomato bush?
I thought that might make them pause, but nooooooo….ate one, left the other…..like when I put cayenne on a half-eaten one…..they appreciate the spicy flavour…

My mother once cut down a damson plum tree and a pear tree...
by herself…because she was so tired of the squirrels taking 1 bite out of all the fruit and then throwing it to the ground!
Extreme, but it gave her satisfaction!
They really are bushy-tailed rats.
Had one strip my best pecan tree every year....one bite of green pecan and throw it on the sidewalk...
Wasteful…….when I caught sight of one in a tree within arms reach, eating a tomato, and started chastising him, he didn’t move….he just ate faster….

Didn't realize that was the avatar.
Got that from the Lookout Landing meme I suppose. Hard to tell it’s Nyjer from the avatar, though.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
For the circus play of late...hesitate to change it back.
Last time I changed it after a win, they sipped really hard the next game.
Livan would have been a good choice too

Bad luck for the Phillies.
Brian Schneider got hurt in the game and should be out of a couple of weeks. Never want to see bad things happen to Schneider, he was great Expo, a good Nat, and is a better man.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park.
Yet another injury. that bug has bitten them pretty hard of late.
Sorry to hear about Schneider, though. He is a good guy.
Nyjer looked so happy
it was almost heartbreaking. Will he get a chance to wear that wig again?
Before Halloween, I mean.
Could hear his voice quaver when Ray asked him
how he’d gotten through this tough stretch? I felt for him.
I get really really happy when he comes through for us
I can see the agony in his face when he can’t help this team or when he’s struggling badly at the plate which has been this whole season. It makes me so sad.
Deep down I want EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Nats to do well.
Nyjer makes it hard sometimes because he seems to let his mind wander from the game and situation on the field.
