Nationals @ Pirates, Game 2

[houston-nat]

We could be the punchline for every joke imaginable.

Not necessarily!

A minister was feeling bored one Sunday and decided to take the day off from church. He told the assistant minister he wasn't feeling well and drove off. He stopped at a golf course about forty miles away (so that no one would know him.)

Up in Heaven, the angels were talking. One said to Jesus, "Are you going to let him get away with that?" Jesus said, "No, I won't." The minister teed off on the first hole and suddenly, the wind picked up, blowing the ball right in the hole for a 420 yard hole-in-one.

The angel looked at Jesus and said, "Why did you do that?" Jesus smiled and replied, "The Washington Nationals."


...see? Doesn't work!

hey chief...rename this smiley.

call it "Manny".

[ronnynat]

You have to go bowling, AZ has to attend the game, Belliard needs to play 2nd base, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

I'd also have to start the GD thread, I guess.

[eagleskins]

Flop and Wee Willie are pure trash. 

[spidernat]

There's no defending that loser. His head is not in the game.

Maybe he's worried his wife is running around on him.

[sportsfan882]

Harris blows too. 2 walks in a row and then we are swinging at freaking everything. Manny creates a stir over nothing last night but he'll just stand there and do nothing about that. If I were him I'd go get in Lopez' face and tell him how much of a POS he is.

[MDoyle]

I'm gonna go drown my sorrows in the beautiful women thread.

[PC]

Sometimes I'm convinced that Felipe Lopez wants the team to lose.

If you watch this team regularly it still works.

[shoeshineboy]

pathetic. Dumb as ****ing ****. 2 walks in a row and that jackass flies to center on 1 pitch.

Unreal. The only person who liked that was Lenny Harris. He was agressive on the first pitch and tried to go opposite field. Anytime Manny wants to jump in Lopez's face over that at bat would be ok.

[houston-nat]

We got us a lemon!

[nyexpofan]

can someone explain to me why willi mo pena, who was on deck "if" Harris gets on, didnt ph for harris? Manny is part of the problem. he lets Harrios who's batting a buck fifty bat with the tying runs on base in the 8th inning. WHY? WHY? WHY?

I guess they did it "professionally."

Seriously though, shouldn't it be a rule on the team not to swing at the first pitch like that? How much power does the hitting coach actually have? If I was a hitting coach, I'd have a rulebook w/ all of those "don't freaking swing" situations in it.

Maybe he's worried his wife is running around on him.

Maybe he KNOWS that she's running around on him.

She told him that she will cheat, every time he flies out.

[ronnynat]

How many here would keep Colome over Hanrahan?

[shoeshineboy]

Another free pass issued by a reliever. Ridiculous. How many times a week does Aponte have to suck off Manny to keep his job?

[spidernat]

How many here would keep Colome over Hanrahan?

I would prefer both be cut.

(Image removed from quote.)

I need to find out where she hangs out then.

[sportsfan882]

I would prefer both be cut.

Me too. It's a shame we have almost zippy options in Columbus.

[ronnynat]

I would prefer both be cut.

One or the other, though. I don't know how anyone could choose a guy who has been in the league this long and has the exact same problems over a guy who's younger and less experienced.

[sportsfan882]

oh man. The Mutts had a 3-run lead in the 9th with 2 on and 2 out and Wagner gave up a 3 run bomb to Reynolds.

[MrMadison]

well, good night folks. I'm retiring from the game thread, because i feel like laying on the couch to watch the rest of the game.

[PatsNats28]

what are the odds we at least tie this one up? We have a PH, Guz, and Dukes comin up...

[MrMadison]

Mets board has imploded once again.

anyhow, good night.
