Man The Nats Are Hard To Watch

I am sitting here watch the Nats, and they have 1 run in the last 2 games or so now - the guys are discussing how wild the opposing pitcher is, but interestingly, the hitters just keep on coming up and swinging at the first pitch. Man, if I did that in high school, my coach would have berated me in front of the whole crowd, then taken me out of the game. These guys just continue to do it over and over and over and no repercussions. Oh by the way, can Austin Kearns please do something so someone will be dumb enough to trade for him???
