Sadly, I don’t have a lot of time to recap last night’s events<\/a> (video) — Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson<\/strong> asks the umpires to check Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Joel Peralta<\/strong>‘s glove for a foreign substance and sure enough there was. Peralta was tossed and Rays manager Joe Maddon<\/strong> started barking off the field about how he felt about the actions of the Nats. I didn’t nearly come to blows like the epic 2005 showdown between Frank Robinson and Mike Scioscia<\/a> though. As for Maddon, someone from Hazleton, Pa. being passive-aggressive? Well, I never…<\/p>\n

Won’t you be disappointed if Nats GM Mike Rizzo<\/strong> doesn’t call out Maddon fake tough?<\/p>\n

The glove challenge overshadowed the fact that Chein Ming Wang<\/strong> was terrible and the Nats lost their fourth game in a row.<\/p>\n

I wonder if Johnson would have challenged the Rays if he didn’t have Stephen Strasburg<\/strong> and Gio Gonzalez<\/strong> next in the rotation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
