Washington Nationals Manager Manny Acta said that Joel Hanrahan's role for next season is far from decided. But the hard-throwing right-hander made perhaps his strongest ...

HEADLINE... Elijah Dukes Hits Two...Dukes, Zimmerman, Harris And Langerhans All Go Deeeep! The Nationals had to win this one twice after DC closer "Wild" Joel Hanrahan continued the DC Closer Tradition of, "Making It Interesting" , a little too interesting tonight as Hanrahan allowed the Braves to tie it in the bottom of the ninth, and got away with a tie only because Kelly Johnson hit his bases-loaded...

Well, I didn’t know it. I guessed it. I hoped it. Mr. Chatter and I debated it (Joel Hanrahan or Lastings Milledge?). Now confirmation is official. Joel Hanrahan was named the Washington Nationals recipient of the 2008 Roberto Clemente Award (presented by Chevy - I suppose I have to add the sponsor in, eh?). His [...]

Each time he takes the ball with a one-run lead and the hour turning late, Joel Hanrahan knows it's a learning experience, a chance for the 26-year-old reliever to find out how he holds up to the pressure of closing in the major leagues.

Joel Hanrahan is best known as the newly anointed closer for the Nationals, but did you know he’s got a great golf game too? More later… I’m having a beer at the clubhouse while they finish the last three holes…

The long wait might have driven Joel Hanrahan bonkers, if only he had spent any time in his new role as closer of the Washington Nationals.

Joel Hanrahan spent seven years working his way up through the Los Angeles Dodgers' farm system, pitching every fifth day and always assuming his path to the major leagues would be as a starter.

Jon Rauch has been traded to the D'Backs. Who closes for the Nationals now? Among righties, Saul Rivera has been decent. Joel Hanrahan leads Washington's lefty relievers. Luis Ayala has been lousy this year. Rivera and Hanrahan have both pitched...

As I mentioned in the last “That’s Chat’s Nats,” I was in Illinois and Wisconsin (close to the Iowa border) last week, arriving right on the heels of the crest of the northern midwest flooding. Many roads including highly used interstate highways were still closed when I arrived. Since there is no internet up at [...]

Does anybody know the name of the song that was played when Randy St. Claire went out to visit Joel Hanrahan * during the 8th inning today? It is a jazzy, almost smooth jazz kind of song. I say almost smooth jazz because it is actually enjoyable. I checked We've Got Heart's iMix page which lists the at-bat music of each Nationals player along with some other music, but it wasn't on there. So, can anyone...
