Stephen Strasburg Hates the Yankees
As per the #1 pick by the Nationals Facebook status update:
Guys i appreciate you telling me who I should sign with, but I was drafted by teh Nationals so I can't sign with an other MLB club. Plus I would never want to sign with the Skankees they think they can buy a WS you can't look at the Philles and Rays last year
See you in interleague play rook.
Also, I have a keychain review and a book review to publish, be on the look out.
