Football is back. I speak for everyone when I say that too many Sundays have gone by without the NFL on our television screens. I suppose you could say that preseason is football, although with the frequent use of second and third string sides, one never feels that the season is truly underway until the first game of the regular season arrives.

Jesus Montero has been a lost cause so far as a Seattle Mariner to say the least. He has performed badly when he has been healthy and able to play on the field. He was suspended for his ties to the whole Biogenesis scandal and top it off he showed up to spring training camp forty pounds overweight. The latest tale involving him might be the most bizarre of them all.

The Washington Nationals have been pegged with high expectations from the start of this season. For a good portion of this season, it looked as if the Nationals would be unable to live up to those expectations. As this month has progressed though, they came together as a unit and went on a ten game winning streak, playing their best baseball of the year. What was behind this recent surge by them? There are a couple of factors to this equation.

Ross has been a huge surprise for the Padres. Photo Credit: USA Today

The San Diego Padres have had an underwhelming season so far to date, being stuck under the .500 mark and being out of the NL West Division title race altogether. They have continued to battle issues with a less than formidable offense that has left them scrapping for runs in most games. The pitching though has been a very bright spot for the club. The star that has risen in that regard is Tyson Ross, who has had a very interesting road to get to this point in his career.

He stole 2nd base!! No, he literally has taken 2nd base and tossed it on the field.

No, this is not the work of a drunken streaker at a minor league game but these are some minor league antics. Antics or should I say passionate team management at its finest. Growing up playing baseball, I would have daydreams of hitting home runs and stealing bases that clinched division titles for my team, but secretly I was saving something for later, something later to imitate, something that was my secret favorite part of the game.
