Just a 1/2-day after Mets pitcher Nelson Figueroa allowed six runs then antagonized the Washington Nationals players in post-game interviews, the Mets designated him for assignment. Darn. Thousands of childish, unprofessional Nats fans were looking forward to seeing him pitch in Nationals Park. Continue reading Update: Nats Antagonist Designated for Assignment
New York Mets losing pitcher Nelson Figueroa, after last night’s 10-4 defeat at the hands of the Washington Nationals, called the Nationals players — led by Elijah Dukes — “truly unprofessional” for cheering loudly from the visitor’s dugout at Shea Stadium. “They were cheerleading in the dugout like a bunch of softball girls,” Figueroa, said. … Continue reading Since When Was Cheering Unprofessional?
On a rainy Mother’s Day afternoon, Teddy Roosevelt today completed another winless homestand at Nationals Park. As the Washington Nationals were engineering another heartbreaking loss to the improbably division-leading Florida Marlins, Teddy Roosevelt was taking matters into his own hands, jumping out to a huge lead in this afternoon’s presidents race. But regular observers of … Continue reading Teddy Delivers Flowers Instead of Victory on Mother’s Day

Blogger Chris Needham has has hung up his keyboard after almost 4 years at the helm of Capitol Punishment. Chris’s blog was required daily reading by every Nationals blogger, beat writer, and team executive (not necessarily in that order).

Greetings from Texas. I had to leave town for the Pirates series — the last of this terrific Nationals homestand, so bear with me as the site is a little behind on the presidents race standings. I can piece it together later, but if you were at any of the games and saw who won, … Continue reading Last series of the homestand
Could it be that we are seeing a state of order and balance established at Nationals Park? Time will tell, but the signs this week are very strong.

Thanks Miss Chatter for capturing and sending me this additional footage from the broadcast. As you can see at the end of the clip, the Let Teddy Win! contingent was out last night.
