Pat Listach.

From that point on, I watched the rest of the game, hoping for a Nats comeback.

I love Morgan's intensity that he plays with. It's how the game should be played. The Nats announcers were criticizing him for stealing 2 bases after getting hit, saying it's "unprofessional to steal bases when down 11 runs". Are you kidding me? Stealing when UP by 11 would be questionable sportsmanship, but when losing, why would you stop trying to score? After getting beaned, I am all for stealing and making the other team pay.

Now Nyjer does need to work on his attitude and temper and grow up at times...but I love how hard he plays.
