Bryce Harper's Day of Reckoning

Today, Bryce Harper will be in a Major League uniform for the Washington Nationals as they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. This day is a culmination of three years of hype surrounding him. After being the number one overall pick in 2010, he seemed to languish in the minor leagues. Most experts figured he would be called up late in the season to bolster the Nationals who would inevitably be out of contention and it would give him some low pressure big league at bats. That was not the case.

Bryce Harper is a World Class “Doosh Bag!”

The arrogant little punk blows a kiss at a major league pitcher after taking him deep and he will start finding plenty of major league pastballs aimed at his ear-hole.

Not really new news. Harper did pretty good in LA. 2B, game tieing RBI and a “sick” throw on a rope to the catcher for what should have been an out in his first game. 2nd game a webgem catch in center.

He may be cocky but the kid’s got game.

Bryce Harper's first major league hit.

Check out the guy in the stands in the blue shirt directly over the catcher's head.

Hilarious!

If this punk becomes a Hall of Famer, that clip will live in infamy!

I always thought that when someone wrote a blog, they tended to know what they are writing about.

This is probably the thinest piece of sports reporting I have seen in some time.

The Nationals didn’t want to bring him up. They had to because of an injury.

Didn’t get the final vote for the All-Star game. Thought he deserved it, despite missing nearly a month.
