Can we really say that no other National player has been 5 minutes late before? Really. We know that because they have treated every incident like this one.
I imagine it went down something like this:
Hey Dukes, you're late!!!
Hey Dawg, I was high fivin' some little leaguers and I had to get everybody.
Did the dog eat your homework too? Is the support check in the mail? $500 and a benching for you.

Fast forward to today: Hey, he was telling the truth. D&*%% it, another PR disaster.
Dukes got killed on baseball tonight last night too over this and the Diaz "double".
But does anyone recall how the Nats got run number 3 (aka the wining run?)
Would that be Dukes legging out an infield single? Hmmmm. Escobar bobbled the ball for a half a second and Dukes, busting his a*&% out of the box beat the throw by a fraction. But do the baseball tonight guys go back and show that highlight? Nope. Easier to throw that faux indignation around. Will this hustle play be remembered? Nope. But the 5 minutes sure will be.
I'd really like to see what they'd say if Dukes re-enacted any one of a million scenes from the life of beloved Yankee centerfielder Mickey Mantle? Guy doesn't take the game seriously, he's a menace, out of control . . . he needs to be banned for life!!!

I was thinking of buying a Dukes T-Shirt, but that would probably curse him for life. Besides, I need to save my money for beer.
