ZWR sources in Chicago spotted the following and dutifully captured it with their kameras for submittal to the bolg. Donkey Nation + Roy- I’m the man who loves you! You rule (pot kettle black). No worries, they were able to quickly move on to their reservations, and weren’t impelled to watch HLHIII’s entire work-out, which surely would have left them scrounging for some after-hours dive in the poor places (last night). Jesus, etc.

Great men inspire others, strengthen a union, and lead by example. It is unquestioned that HLHIII is a commander-in-chief to his teammates. On this, the occasion of his 35th birthday, heading into the Fall of 2012, we take a moment to consider that which is likely on many minds: is there anyone that Roy could help more than just the Phillies?

Jayson Werth May Secretly Be an Icelandic Supermodel

It looked ugly right away, and Jayson Werth’s reaction told the story well enough. The Nationals confirmed last night that their star right fielder suffered a broken wrist while trying to snag a ball in the outfield last night against the Phillies.

The world chimes in on Hamels beaning Harper Not surprisingly, Cole Hamels admitting to hitting Bryce Harper in the first inning Sunday night has caused a little bit of backlash in the baseball blogging world. Hardball Talk says Hamels “decided to open his big mouth after his outing.” The Outside Corner calls out Hamels on his logic behind the decision to plunk Harper while Big League Stew is still trying to figure out the thought process, referring to Hamels as a Jedi at one point.

According to Yahoo! Sports, Werth may need to lose the beard.

“The team policy is, facial hair is OK, but it’s got to be groomed,” Rizzo said Monday night. “It’s got to be nicely … professionally groomed.”

Good thing he won’t have to grow a playoff beard in Washington.

7 years. $126 million. Washington Natinals.

Can’t really blame the guy for cashing in on his only opportunity as a free agent. He never really had a true free agency period, since he was pretty much an unknown before the Phillies gave him a second chance in the majors. We all knew this was coming, especially after his breakout 2009, followed by declining the Phillies extension offer this past summer. Still doesn’t make the sting feel any better.

We knew the Nationals were going to at least attempt to make a big move this offseason, but few probably took them seriously. You’re not making the playoffs in the foreseeable future, especially if Strasburg is done until 2012. So why overbid on a free agent that’s going to make a minimal impact on your current team? Losing Adam Dunn hurt, but replacing him Werth isn’t magically going to equal wins. They gain 1.1 WAR from last year… yippee!

It’s really Ruben’s fault for letting it come to this. Rather than continuing Gillick’s plan (signing under the radar players – Dobbs, Werth, Durbin, club friendly deals – Rollins, Utley), he has constantly bid against himself on free agents and current players. His biggest mistake is always being ready to offer one too many years (Lidge, Moyer, Ibanez, Blanton), which has now spilled over into our ability to keep key pieces on our team (Werth, Lee). We could have had Werth if we really wanted him, but Ruben’s too nearsighted to plan ahead for the future. We’re officially losing the 2nd best OF in all of baseball (15 WAR over his last 3 seasons), because Ruben’s about a proficient at managing salaries as Andy Reid is at managing the clock.

Blame Ruben’s inability to be even a competent general manager, not Werth’s decision to leave.
