WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Ever since Dave Martinez became the Nationals' manager this winter, he has faced questions about getting the team over the proverbial hump -- its inability to win a postseason series.
So on Wednesday morning, he decided to bring the "hump" to the Nats -- in the form of three camels.
As the Nationals gathered for their morning circle-of-trust meeting, third-base coach Bobby Henley and first-base coach Tim Bogar rode on the backs of the camels, as the song "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas blared through the speakers.
"I want it out there," Martinez said.
