Another roster move
The Wild Things continue to patch their pitching staff. Prior to the game Saturday night against the Floence Freedom, Washington placed right-handed pitcher John Leonard on injured reserve and signed right-hander Mike Schellinger.
Leonard has been bothered all spring by a sore shoulder. He left an outing Wednesday night when the injury flared up.
Schellinger began the year with Joliet of the independent Northern League and had an 0-1 record and 15.63 ERA in four games. A Syracuse native, Schellinger spent three years in the St. Louis Cardinals’ system after playing three seasons at SUNY-Oneonta. He had a 6-4 record with one save and a 3.62 ERA in 33 games last year for Quad Cities of the Class A Midwest League.
Schellinger missed the entire 2006 seasonbecause of microfractures in his elbow that required surgery.

Just a couple of comments.
First, if anyone thinks the Wild Things REALLY won the game vs. Florence last night (the 31st) then they were not there. The truth of the matter is the Freedom "chocked" pure and simple as that. Darn near ANY team would have won a game vs Florence with the team they fieled Saturday. This team had no heart at all!! What a pitiful effort they made. To make the statement that they "stunk up the joint" would be a gross understatement.
Second, it seems this years edition of the Wild Things has little respect for our nations flag. I have noticed that during the singing of National Anthem a lot of the team members feel it is a good time to make jokes and giggle like little school children, the most obvious offerder being Mike Eisenberg. Come on guys, can't you muster up the the courtesy of standing still and be more respectful of our flag. It only takes about two minutes of your time.
