A Letter To The Nats' John Lannan

Dear Sir,

It's not cool to throw at All-Stars. It never has been, and never will be. They're good. You're not. People pay to see them play, whereas they're forced to see you play. The only reason you are even in the big leagues right now is because you're on a team that has the worst starting pitching in baseball. You are their 12th different starter this season and would still be in triple-A on the other 29 teams in the league.

I know you said the pitches to Chase Utley and Ryan Howard just "got away from you" but I find it curious that two pitches just happened to "get away from you" in the heart of an order that was 3-4 with a homerun and 3 RBI at that point in the game. Way to get ejected in your big league debut.

Sincerely,

Everybody Who Has Chase Utley And His Broken Hand On Their Fantasy Team
