I swear we need to give Jim Maloney a call!

Re: Nationals sign Bret Boone. Really.
Is Scott Sullivan's arm still attached? Where's Chris Stynes?

Jon Nunnally sure would look sharp in a nats uniform.

Re: Nationals sign Bret Boone. Really.
Another in a long line of baffling decisions from the Nats, do the owners enjoy this sort of comedy?

Re: Nationals sign Bret Boone. Really.
No big deal. It's a minor-league contract, and Boonie probably won't even break camp.

Re: Nationals sign Bret Boone. Really.

Re: Nationals sign Bret Boone. Really.
Maybe Bowden will attempt to touch the Nationals' past and bring back Teddy Ballgame's frozen corpus to manage this season.
