Senator Jim Bunning (R-Vacant), who previously came to the attention of This Blog while he was running his Hall Of Fame mouth to ridicule all those lazy spalpeens who have had the audacity to be unemployed for a couple of years here in the Land Of Plenty, has re-entered the sports news by calling wimposity on Washington rookie Steven Strasburg, who got a night off because his employers at The Worst Sports Idea Of The Century would just as soon rather not have Strasburg burn himself out before they can cash in on him more fully.

Yes, Jim, when you played, the owners had you by your Strasburgs and treated you all as disposable pieces of prime chuck. No, Jim, that system is no longer in place. Who knew the rotator cuff connected to the brain?
