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.
