I really think we can win this game... If we can get 6 innings and 2 runs out of Lannan, and the Pen gives up like a run, I think this is the game where we can get like 6 runs and not get swept.
Huh? We could hardly score off the O's two worst starters Olson and Burres. We get to face their dominant ace today. We usually play well on Sunday though, especially when Manny starts a bunch of bench players.
A big reason we couldn't score was our offense, not their pitching... What I meant is that our batting might break through today.

Hopefully, but even if we were hitting the ball well you'd figure the most runs you'd score off Guthrie would be 2 or 3.
Catcher Jesus Flores has been getting the job done for the Nationals. He is hitting .367 with one home run and seven RBIs. By being so productive, manager Manny Acta put Flores in the sixth spot of the lineup on Saturday against the Orioles."He has been tremendous for us. He has had quality at-bats in almost every outing that he has had," Acta said.Flores went 0-for-2 and ended up being ejected by home-plate umpire Tim McClelland in the sixth inning. Flores' back was turned when McClelland made his decision."I'm really surprised," Flores said. "I just asked, 'Where was that pitch?' He just threw me out of the game. There was nothing I could do about it. It was the third time I asked him, but I wasn't mad."McClelland wasn't available for comment, but Acta felt the ejection was uncalled for."Flores is a kid who has impeccable conduct, not only with me, but the coaches, players and every one around the league," Acta said. "I don't know what happened there."
how does a team take 3/4 from the mutts and then suddenly suck vs the orioles??!!
That's baseball the Nationals for you...
Fixed.
No, really, it's baseball. Just because they won a series vs. the Mets doesn't mean that suddenly the Nats are a much better team, and should have higher standards.
should have higher standards.
Kearns is on the bench again.
I think last night Kearns finally, FINALLY, just hit rock bottom. You could tell by the disgust on his face and in his interviews.You just can't put a guy out there who is like that, he'd be completely worthless.
Kearns is on the bench again. Mack-Mills-Dukes are starting in the OF.
i'm happy dukes is starting but our rotating outfield is MADNESS. harris deserves to start over mack. what's harris reward for saving the game thursday vs the mutts? more bench splinters?
tarp is on the field. rain delay
This team is so screwed up. They punish players for playing well and reward those that fail over and over.
