Bad News Barrett Is Pumped Up

After Alfonso Soriano melted down for the 18 millionth time, Matt Williams finally decided to shake up the bullpen. And it only took 1 day for Nats fans to see how that might look. One of the keys to the bullpen going forward is Aaron "Bad News" Barrett who helped out Gio Gonzalez on Sunday afternoon by coming in with a runner on in the 7th inning and then clearing the bases with a double play ball. Barrett was pumped up to say the least. Here is the pitcher showing his Natitude.

Vin Scully Does A Spot On Gio Gonzalez Impersonation

On Monday night, Gio Gonzalez pitched for his first win in almost 2 months. But more important than that, Gio had the great fortune of being impersonated by Dodgers play by play announcer Vin Scully.

Denard Span: The Shrug, The Chicken & Waffles, The PED Test

Denard Span has transformed into Barry Bonds. Well not quite. But the Nationals outfielder has hit 3 homeruns in his last 5 games including a 2 HR game on Monday night in LA against the Dodgers.

When the game was over, a Nats victory, all of the talk was about Span's recent surge of power.  Here is what Denard had to say about where his power came from (unlikely restaurant chain), and what he expects MLB officials to do to him tomorrow. But first, the Michael Jordan shrug:

Hit It Here, Bryce Harper's Mammoth Homerun

Bryce Harper is starting to get his power back. After hitting a homerun on Friday night against the Mariners, Harper crushed 2 more blasts on Sunday. His first of the day was an absolute shot, crushed to right field and off of the glass panels of the Hit It Here Cafe (in-stadium restaurant), barely missing the painted bullseye logo. See how close Harper was.
