    Not that he was a serious candidate ... but cross Michael Young off the list.

    Strained his hammy running out a grounder and will probably go on the DL today.

    Rumor has it Hank Blalock was seen kneeling before Jobu beforehand.

    OK. I just listened to the Stephen Strasburg interview on the Mike Wise Show from yesterday...Zzzzzzzzz.

    Strasburg has the personality of a thumbtack. Just turrrrible.

    So in just two or three days with the club in Florida, he's already pissed off at how much media attention he's getting, and we now know he's a terrible interview. He'd better effing win!

    Are you sure it was Strasburg? I get that reaction every time I listen to the Mike Wise Show.

    Having the Nats jump your shit will indeed fuck a man up.
    I still can't believe they won that game. Hell, I was at a game earlier this season when they scored five on Johnson in the first inning and didn't win. Never thought they could rally against him.

    As for Strasburg, sack up son. You ain't at quaint SD State anymore. You sign the richest bonus in history, people want a story every time you break wind. If you can't handle the spotlight now, lord help you.

    Chico Harlan had some pretty good thoughts on that in his Nationals Journal yesterday. I'd link it but I'm too lazy. Easy to find on the Post site.

    Yeah. Wise is terrible on the radio, too. But I got 8 hours to fill every day. Gotta listen to something. :)

    But still.....Strasburg is awful.

    Wise: So what have you or what will you buy with your first big check?
    **** simple question, right? Wrong. ****
    Strasburg: [long pause]...uh...um....I really haven't thought about it.

    **Really? You haven't through about it? You suck. This guy is really pissing me off. I might boo him right off the bat next year.

    Since a 5-1 loss to Toronto on May 12, which made them 15-17 in the ledger, the Yanks are 69-31.
