I haven't said anything lately about the Nationals because there really hasn't been anything to say. Even today, with the news about Vidro going to the Mariners, there isn't much to gab about. No one's surprised; they've been trying to offload him for ages. Is it a good deal for the Nats? Eh. They're getting two prospects:
..the Nationals are due to receive Chris Snelling, a 25-year-old outfielder who has a history of injuries, and Emiliano Fruto, a 22-year-old right-handed reliever, for Vidro.
Sweet! Just what the Nationals need: more guys who are gonna get hurt. Jim Bowden is the KING.
I knew it was only a matter of time before my Vidro jersey would become irrelevant. That's all right, at least I didn't get like Brian Lawrence or Melvin Dorta (even though he was really nice) or something.
I plan on writing about Saturday's conference call with Matthew McConaughey, Matthew Fox, and McG, but I hope to get a transcript of it first so that I don't get anything wrong; my notes are a little jumbled. It's actually a funny story (to me, anyway), and I did get a question in; sadly, it wasn't the one about the Eagles/Redskins game.
Blatant Plug of the Day
Get thee to a Caps game in December for 15% off. There are many excellent games coming up (Cryers, Devils, Rags, etc.), so if you haven't been yet, there is no reason not to go, especially at a discount. For all the whining that fans in the Western Conference do about not being able to see Ovie (and it's a legitimate complaint), people here don't take advantage of that opportunity enough. So go already!

Oh I totally forgot you had a Vidro Grays jersey when I heard the news! Dang!
Unloading Vidro's salary in and of itself is a coup. If Bodes could find some sucker to take Guzman in a similar deal, he'd truly be the king.
Snelling was supposed to be the next big thing for the Mariners ... five years ago. But he'll probably play as many games and be as productive as Vidro for about five percent of the price.
Just ridding the team of yet another former Expo...welcome to the curse of this franchise, talent is developed to the point of stardom, then dealt away for next to nothing. Um ya I am bitter a bit, hope ya like my team down there in Washington. I will cheer for the Twins, or the Padres from now on...screw it hockey is a better game anyway.
