What about 2 for 24?

He should go to the minors too, mostly to work on his pitching.

As usual, I am ignored and he will not start the season in the minors.  Mistake.

I'm not sure which was better, the HR or the celebration:

Reconsidering?

Reconsidering?

Not yet, though it has been fun to watch.  All three of his HR's were in different locations, though I think they were all fastballs.  One was down and in, one was high and away, and one was right down the middle, so that tells me a lot. 

As for his pitching, we'll see today, but two starts against the A's does not tell the full story yet.

I bet he would have crushed the Royals on Sunday, but last night was a little more like we saw in spring training.  I know they said he had a blister, but when he couldn't throw the slider or the split finger for a strike, the fast ball was served up on a platter.

I fear nats are in trouble...certainly a poor start...I wish they had made girardi an offer he could not refuse...scrimping on manager is stupid...you want to pay someone a million to manage a 250 million payroll??
