Mike Rizzo backs Davey Johnson on pine tar incident


(Jabin Botsford - FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
So on Tuesday night, Joe Maddon said Davey Johnson was being cowardly for checking out Joel Peralta’s glove for pine tar.

On Wednesday morning, Mike Rizzo said Johnson would have been in the doghouse if he hadn’t.

“If Davey or somebody in the dugout knew that there was a foreign substance on the glove and it was assisting the pitcher, and they didn’t call them out, then they’d have a problem with me,” Rizzo said during his weekly appearance on 106.7 The Fan’s Holden and Danny program.

“Because we’re trying to win games, too, and if you’re doing something that’s not according to the rules and it gives you an unfair advantage, you should be called on it,” Rizzo continued. “We knew Joel because he was with us before, and we felt that was the case. Davey called him out, and he happened to be right. So that’s the gamesmanship of managing in the big leagues. We’re trying to win, too, and if that’s what it takes for them to perform and they get caught with it, so be it.”

Throwbacks: Joe Gibbs coaches wide receivers in 1990


(Photo by Margaret Thomas - from the archives.)
Last Wednesday, the great Sports Illustrated Twitter feed @si_vault decided to post 21 terrific Washington D.C. sports photos throughout the day. This led Mister Irrelevant — the premier premiere arbiter of taste in the D.C. sports blogosphere — to do a post on the five best D.C. sports photos from the SI vault.

And this led us here at Bog HQ to start combing The Post’s photo vault for similar treasures. Well, my boss Lindsay did the work, anyhow. I’m just going to post the treasures found therein.

We will do this throughout the summer, because it’s awesome. And easy.

Here’s the first entry. It’s from a 1990 May minicamp, and it features Joe Gibbs demonstrating the key tenets of wide receiver play while Paul Smith, Art Monk, Percy Waddle and others look on.

Note especially the Posse shirt. And the socks.

Please include your wishlist for future photos below.

Maryland basketball uniform rendering, maybe (updated)


(via TestudoTimes.com and @UniWatch)

Update, 12:45 p.m.: Maryland’s athletic department released a statement saying the photos were only draft renderings, not the final product.

Via @umterps: “Renderings leaked of potential uniforms are drafts only. Our fans will know when Terps, UA launch Pride for basketball." 

Original post: Testudo Times offered this image of what is said to be leaked renderings of the new Maryland basketball Pride uniforms. According to the blog, they come from a “source inside the athletic department” and the image is from from several months ago.

Maryland reps have not yet responded to our request for comment, so I can’t confirm that this is an accurate depiction. Paul Lukas from Uni Watch, who knows about such things, is calling it a “legit developmental rendering,” so there’s that.

Now that we have the disclaimers out of the way, I would be shocked if the final product didn’t look similar to what we’re looking at here. Earlier in the month, coach Mark Turgeon described the unseen uniforms as such:

Nats-Orioles trash talk video

This weekend is the Battle of the Beltway, and to commemorate the occasion, some fans put together a Nats-Orioles trash talk video, meant to be a play on the Chicago series commercial featuring Nick Offerman and Craig Robinson.

There are the predictable insults (Davey Johnson is old, Brian Roberts is small), the expected shot at Cal Ripken and and a Clown Question appearance.

It’s like the Bog comment section in video form.

Video: Charles Krauthammer drops ‘That’s a clown question, bro’

This video of Charles Krauthammer is from last Friday’s episode of Inside Washington, with Gordon Peterson. It comes via NewsBusters, of all places. Transcript:

Peterson: “One of my favorite columnists writes this week that Barack Obama’s opponent ‘is a stolid, gaffe-prone challenger for whom conservatism is a second language.’ And you write, Charles, that ‘the less we see of these two gentlemen, the better each of them fares.’ ”
Krauthammer: “That’s a clown question, bro.”
Peterson: “Thank you.”
Krauthammer: “There’s a back story there, but too long to explain. You can look it up on the internet. It’s on Twitter.”

I mean....
