Two Games

Suckage: Royals 3, Dodgers 2

I guess every now and then, you lose one to even a crappy team.

That doesn't mean I have to like it.

Recap

No Glove, No Love: Nationals 6, Angels 3

Ervin Santana: lost in the madness was a fine performance. 3.26 ERA, now. Good going, kid.

Frank Robinson: Your eyes are still malfunctioning, you have the old lady sunglasses on at night, and you tell us there's pine tar on Brendan Donnelly's glove? Jackass.

Orlando Cabrera: You are paid eight million dollars a year to field the damn ball, and hit once in a while. Please field balls cleanly before you are replaced with Izturis, or one of the other four potential quality shortstop replacements the Angels have in their minors. You may have to be killed slowly, or traded to the Devil Rays. But I repeat myself.

Rex Hudler: Please, stop taking reds. I liked you better when you were on the weed.

Crowd: don't boo Guillen. It only makes him angry.

Jose Guillen: you're still an adolescent brat. Robinson is nice to you because he needs the job, and the team needs your bat. But wait until the end of the season when your contract ends.

Angels bench: next time, somebody pop Robinson in his Jurassic-era mouth.

Joe Sheehan: I hope you are right that "[t]he Nats' 37-27 record is a mirage", starting tomorrow.

Update 5/15: L.A. Seitz has more on this, in entertaining fashion.

One more thing wrong with the night.
 
I didn't hear the anouncers because I was on the phone with my dad, but did they say something about Guillen ratting Donnelly out? Or is that the rumor?
 
Yes, that's the rumor. But it would make just as much sense for Robinson to have done it blindly (he sure looks the part, anyway). Donnelly got caught going to his mouth in the Chisox series earlier in the month, so the fact that they chose to pick on him is no surprise. Look for more such junk in the future. In a sense, it's just as well: they replaced a 4.34 ERA pitcher with a 2.50 ERA pitcher (before the game).
 
The Washington Post claims it wasn't Guillen that did the 'ratting'.

Apparently, the Nats' advanced video scout picked up on it. And the WaPo's article also claims that they believe that Donnelly had sandpaper as well.
 
Hey, thanks for the kind words on Yuda's site, Chris. I don't know what I ever did to you, but man, I must have really pissed you off.
 
See above for my response to that. Basically, if he really thought Donnelly had sandpaper, why didn't he call him out on it at that moment? Robinson is looking for more charges to lard on his list, because his accusations are pretty dubious otherwise.
