Top 10 things bothering Nyjer Morgan

While appealing the ruling on a suspension for striking a fan with a thrown away ball, the Nationals' outfielder charged the mound against the Marlins, setting off a wild melee and possible 10 to 15 game vacation. As always, FTT is the only blog in the known universe to have the reasons behind the story.

10) After spending his entire playing life in Pittsburgh and Washington, you can't blame the guy for freaking out

9) One too many "Nyjer, Please" remarks

8) Needed to do something to stop being confused with Roger Bernadina

7) Considering that his slugging percentage for the year is .318, it's just nice to see that he can hit something

6) Like everyone else involved with the Nats, has become completely unhinged over the loss of Stephen Strasburg

5) In a town with Albert Haynesworth and Gilbert Arenas, he really needs to up the ante to get on the Crazy Athlete radar

4) Can't keep up the pressure of his dual identity as "Tony Plush"

3) Just can't abide with the Marlins, given their history of fire sales and ownership by Jeffrey Loria, the ex-owner of the Expos, aka the ex-Nats

2) Given that he has problems doing this on the field of play, it's not like Morgan can be expected to hit the cutoff man when he throws one into the stands

1) Given his Canadian hockey background and the advent of football season, has simply forgotten which sport he plays
