What an ugly scene in the Washington Nationals’ dugout yesterday. Reliever Jonathan Papelbon called out outfielder Bryce Harper for not running hard on a routine fly out. They had a hand around each other’s throat and were pulled apart by teammates. The Nats have been MLB’s biggest bust of 2015. Expected to coast to the eastern division title, they have been buried by the Mets and even eliminated from the wild card race. Both players, especially Harper, are very talented, but each has behaved like a diva on occasion. Harper is not going to be traded. It will be interesting to see if Papelbon is back in Washington next season. And, if he's traded, what will happen if they face each other? Will Papelbon throw at Harper, especially early in the season when the pennant stakes don’t seem high?
My thanks to Ann, who bought Jim Gallery's The Wisdom of the Irish, and to Steve, aka Conspiracy Guy, who purchased a thick book on tricks only lawyers know. The highlight of the session was a toddler who passed with his mom. His T-shirt read: "Earn Your Stripes," the stripes represented by three horizontal lines. It is a wise philosophy for anyone of any age.
