Almost Werth-less: Nats’ Progress Impeded by Silent Bats
Posted on 11:52 PM by ergeg
The 2011 freefall may have started for the Washington Nationals (22-29), who dropped another one Saturday, 2-1, to the even worse San Diego Padres (21-31). For the Nats, losers of 8 of their last 10 games, it was another exercise in the frustration of life as a good-pitch, lousy-hit baseball club.
The Nats are aching for respectability, and they’ve got a combative manager, Jim Riggleman, who,

Feet of Clay: Did Elias Make a Mistake??
Posted on 12:21 AM by ergeg
Statistical geeks such as myself generally bow down to the words “Elias Sports Bureau,” since that oft-cited agency is the gold standard for statistical accuracy and omnipotence in the world of sports. This is especially true where baseball is concerned. If you want to know the last time an Oklahoma-born second basemen named Fred with shin splints and a stubbly beard hit into a force play in five

National Obsession: Are Washington's Nats Moving Up or Down?
Posted on 12:54 AM by ergeg
The Washington Nationals are off to yet another stellar start. Not. At the moment, the team shows early signs of good pitching being undermined by impotent hitting.

C-SPAN: Home of the Thinking Man’s Foxes
Posted on 3:57 PM by ergeg
When you don’t have money for a big exciting TV package, you have to settle for what you can get in Comcast basic limited cable. That’s what I do, anyway.
As my career as a journalist dwindles, and as my career as a musician never takes off, I am stuck making do with many things. Hence, my brain gets addled by watching awful network TV, which occasionally redeems itself with sports programming
