Pitchers, Pitchers everywhere, but not a guy to Catch!

Lawyers are like Pitchers. If they screw up, just fire them and get another. A guy can't get outs, dump him and get another. I view pitchers much like Billy Martin, Earl Weaver and Syd Thrift. They are a dime a dozen and you use them until the drop...and then get another...........

But a catcher, now I'm from the Casey Stengel school. When asked how he won all those years he once stated slyly, "I never went into a big game without my man." His man: Yogi Berra.

As it looks now, if we can put our three catchers together we can get one helluva everyday catcher. Right now, Thank God, it's February 21st!

Sheinin blogs, "The absence of Jesus Flores is particularly distressing because that means none of the Nationals' top three catchers are able to catch an entire day's worth of bullpen sessions. Paul LoDuca is out recovering from knee surgery, and Johnny Estrada is being limited to one or two sessions (and very limited throwing) because he is also recovering from elbow and knee surgeries. However, Flores should be here by the weekend, I'm told."

Last year, injury woes gave us a bad start that we never got away from. Let's light some candles that our catchers heal well, get in shape....AND GET THEIR FREAK'IN PAPERS TOGETHER! On the visa issue, I fully blame Bowden's office. No excuse on paper work Trader Jim.
