Teddy Returns to Presidents Race After Sudden Absence

We couldn't help but notice that perennial loser Teddy Roosevelt was absent from the Presidents Race during the Nationals' game against the Marlins on Saturday. Given how badly the game went, it was just another disappointment among many for Nats fans that night. But what happened? Had Teddy finally succumbed to the crippling depression of never winning? Did he run off to establish another national park?

Turns out, Teddy was on the disabled list. The beloved giant-headed president "sustained an injury during Saturday’s warm-ups and was listed as day-to-day," according to Nationals communications manager Lisa Pagano. Poor Teddy!

Thankfully, over at Let Teddy Win, we see that Teddy returned the very next day, only to blow a lead once again and give up the win to George Washington. Still, we're glad to see Teddy feeling better, and wish him better luck in the future.

For a second there, I thought this was going to be about Teddy Kennedy. Imagine my relief when no mention was made of a zombie Senator sucking the brains of gypsy moth Republicans through their eye sockets and drowning the zombie witnesses in his car trunk.

They actually made an announcement in the stadium at the top of the fourth that he was on "IR" and wouldn't be racing that night because of an injury during pre-game warm-ups.
