Santangelo is a great analyst in the WAS booth, I agree. Mark Grace does a decent job in 'Zona as well.

If you want an example of a terrible color guy, check out a Twins game. Bert Blyleven just does not have the voice for it. Twins crew is one of my least favorite, mainly due to their voices.

Ryan Zimmerman will go for an MRI tonight on his shoulder, per Davey Johnson. Nats fear a strain. "I don't have a good feeling," Davey said.

Son of a bitch!!! Nats offense is going to be putrid ....

Zimmerman said Tuesday that he has an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, Adam Kilgore of The Washington Post reports.
Spin: Zimmerman, who noted that he can throw "100 percent," doesn't think a DL stint will be necessary, adding that feels fine except when he hits the ball. Consider him day-to-day for now

Zimmerman, who last played April 20, is getting an MRI on his injured shoulder, William Ladson of MLB.com reports.
Spin: Zimmerman is still having trouble swinging a bat. Still, the fact that he has been able to throw without issue is encouraging, so hopefully the MRI is just a precautionary move by the Nationals. We'll know more once the results come in.

Reds bat around in the 7th, Bruce and Rolen finally got a hit with RISP

I'm very skeptical. Nats' medical staff is awful. They completely missed LaRoche's bum shoulder until two weeks in to the season.

And the fact that this has been bothering Zimmerman for over a week and he's just now getting an MRI? I have a very VERY bad feeling about this. Zimmerman isn't exactly dependable in the health department. He's missed a substantial amount of time in 3 of the last 4 seasons

[KnightNoles]

Yea, Zimmerman has a problem stayin healthy

[Slateman]

Washington Nationals have an employment opportunity announcement

Wanted: A left fielder who is capable of batting his weight
