sponsored by Eastern Motors, where your job is your credit. This week GTB recognizes the newest Washington National, 3B Brendan Harris, called up to fill in for the corpse that is Vinny Castilla. First of all, Mr. Harris is a chez whitey, in case you were wondering (he quickly joins Ken Harvey and Peter Bergeron in the confusion club). Secondly, Mr. Harris is a graduate of my alma mater, good ole William and Mary, so it's very exciting to see some Tribe Pride invading RFK. Last but not least, he's a hometown boy, born in Sm-Albany, NY (went to Queensbury High - not a rival of Shaker High).
Full Name: Brendan Michael Harris
Born: 08/26/1980
Birthplace: Albany, NY
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 200
Bats: Right

Fantasy word of caution - don't expect Brendan to help your fantasy squad, as the following list shows (I have no idea what the numbers really mean, but you still get the picture):
Troy Glaus - 531
Mark Teixeira - 493
David Wright - 457
Eric Hinske - 437
Brendan Harris - 31

Continuing with the baseball theme, Mike Remlinger is a donkey:
Cubs left-handed reliever Mike Remlinger hurt himself Sunday sitting in one of the reclining chairs in the clubhouse. He went on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a fractured left pinkie, according to the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES.
"I was sitting in the chair and turned, and my finger got caught in between chairs," Remlinger said. "The handles are wood. I turned quick and didn't know the other chair was right there."
Page Six is awesome:
HOW did Shaquille O'Neal prepare for last night's Game 2 of the NBA Eastern Finals pitting his Miami Heat against the Detroit Pistons? By devouring a 48-oz. porterhouse ($76) at South Beach's trendiest steakhouse, Prime 112, the night before. The 7-foot-1, 320-lb. center joined fellow carnivores Jamie Foxx and TNT analyst Charles Barkley, who as usual was trashing the Knicks. There's one menu item Shaq steers clear of — the $20 "Kobe Hot Dog."
Barry Bonds, along with several teammates from the San Francisco Giants, was tested for performance-enhancing drugs Wednesday, according to ESPN's Pedro Gomez.
You know Pedro was right there in the stall with Barry. It's his job damn it.
Seriously, my mom sent me the tape of some home movies she took down in Hilton Head...and dammit if Jamie Foxx wasn't in three of them.
And I hated people that liked Paul's better than College. Get real.
In case you were curious what Milwaukee might do with the #1 pick, Michael Hunt is here to tell you. That's right, Mike Hunt will help. Here is Mike Hunt's article:

Paul's is the place to be in the Burg these days . . . well, that and the Cornerstone. At least until the pipe-hittin' brothers from Hampton come rolling in around midnight and scare off all the would-be hook-ups of the night. Choc-blocks we call them 'round these parts . . .
Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
On the way to a 5-3 record and 3.49 ERA, Javier Vazquez has pitched 39 consecutive innings without a walk and allowed no more than two runs in each of his past seven starts. Randy Johnson, whom they dealt for Vazquez over the winter, is 4-3 with a 3.94 ERA. Vazquez is 28 and Johnson is 41.
Update on the Natty of the Week from rotoworld.com...
Brendan Harris - 2B - Nationals
Nationals optioned infielder Brendan Harris to Triple-A New Orleans.
Harris went 3-for-9 with a homer and a double, giving him one fewer extra-base hits than Jamey Carroll in 90 fewer at-bats. Maybe he should have been the Nationals' second baseman for the duration of Jose Vidro's absence. He certainly has more to offer than Carlos Baerga. May. 30 - 8:18 pm et
