February 24, 200917 yr Author Olsen looks really weird in that Nationals uniform Whats weird to me is that his hat isn't dripping wet. But in a confessional, I think its a good thing, right?
February 24, 200917 yr i hope it wasent one of the national's people who took that picture, it's just wrong :lol :lol :lol
February 24, 200917 yr If he does pitch Opening Day, or I guess just whenever he pitches at DS this year, I hope he gets a warm reception, along with Willingham, although hopefully they dont play too well!
February 24, 200917 yr If he does pitch Opening Day, or I guess just whenever he pitches at DS this year, I hope he gets a warm reception, along with Willingham, although hopefully they dont play too well! I think they will, former players have always been treated well down here.
February 24, 200917 yr former players have always been treated well down here. I beg to differ. I remember a few times when Conine made a return back with the Reds and Mets, he hardly got anything. Maybe a few smatterings of applause here and there, but nothing serious. You would think with him being Mr. Marlin, he would get a huge standing ovation, but that was hardly the case. The same can be said for a bunch of other players, too. Juan Pierre, Derrek Lee, etc. hardly get anything when they come back.
February 24, 200917 yr What is the context of the photo? Thanking the Lord for finally being an Opening Day ace (well he probs will be) before confessing his sins of secretly booting last years "ace" Odalis Perez off the team......

I remember for certain that at the games I attended when Conine, Derek Lee and Luis Castillo came back, all of them got standing ovations and tipped there cap to the fans. I want to same the same for Lowell also? I dont remember if it was him.
February 25, 200917 yr Author What is the context of the photo? Its just normal beggining of the season photos for the nationals, alot of em are like that. Press Photos, and probably scoreboard photos.

Dude when there are only 500 people in the stands they can't make a lot of noise in a 75,000 seats stadium
February 26, 200917 yr Olsen looks really weird in that Nationals uniform at least its not a marlins uniform
February 26, 200917 yr Olsen looks really weird in that Nationals uniform at least its not a marlins uniform I don't know why you'd say that, considering he's a pretty vocal guy in the clubhouse and his performance last year was pretty strong in teal... I'd love to have him in our rotation this year instead of Anibal, who should have a big question mark on his hat instead of a Marlin.

I'd love to have him in our rotation this year instead of Anibal, who should have a big question mark on his hat instead of a Marlin. his hot attitute was not worth the drop he has had. since he got brought up he has lost velocity on his fastball greatly. he is not the picture he was just the attitude. id rather see anibal.

I don't remember him having any attitude problems last year and the way he re-worked his entire delivery in one offseason then had a pretty decent year was pretty impressive. If the Nationals weren't the Nationals (although I think they'll be better this year), I'd consider him a lock for at least ten wins. Not sure you can say the same for Anibal.

February 27, 200917 yr Anibal's "consistent" year was all over 18 appearances. Let's not get carried away here.
February 28, 200917 yr Anibal's "consistent" year was all over 18 appearances. Let's not get carried away here. Exactly. I don't know why everyone is holding out for Anibal to be this amazing player he was for all of half a season in 2006. He hasn't shown one sign of being the same player since. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him go out and post 15 wins and an ERA under 3.00, but I just don't see him ever touching that kind of success again. I'm personally more excited for Sean West's big league debut if and when Anibal either goes down with another arm injury, or performs terribly.
