Nationals vs Giants, Game 3

[sportsfan882]

Pena has to go. I'm sick of seeing nothing from him.

.198 AVG with just 5 extra-base hits in 126 ABs. Useless.

no chance of that happening, unless Bowden goes first.

he won't do anything to "his" guys.

I think if Fat Boy was available (wtf happened to him, btw?), then Casto would be in LF and Pena would be on the bench.

[spidernat]

We strand too many base runners.

[ronnynat]

Nice freaking play, Dukes!

[sportsfan882]

Dukes in the OF

They're saying it's too hot for him to play. Why have someone who can't play in hot weather? Baseball will be played in hot weather all summer. If he can't control his freaking weight he should be sent packing. We are a disaster.

Nice play by Dukes.

[spidernat]

They just said Dukes is double jointed. That piece of info probably made someone weak at the knees.   

[daveb32]

How is Dukes wearing long sleeves right now.

[ronnynat]

Saul is better when he starts innings.

Some people think/feel that doing so blocks the sun from directly hitting your skin and keeps you cooler.

[sportsfan882]

Hanging slider for strike 3. Now we get to face the Giants' solid pen after doing little off of crappy Zito who is in line for his second win of the season.

[MrMadison]

They're saying it's too hot for him to play.

that's a crock of BS.  Dmitri hasn't played at all for the past week and a half or so. and today was the only day in that stretch of time that was even remotely hot.

[daveb32]

Marrero hit a 2-run home run today.

[sportsfan882]

We're actually facing a real pitcher now. We'll do nothing from here on out.

It's been pretty hot for a couple of days now but the main thing is that we get this type of weather here in Washington all July and August so maybe he should be playing for another team. The day after we were rained out (Thursday) he was taken out of the lineup because it was too hot and he could not handle it due to his weight. And he hasn't played since. He should be giving some of that salary back.

[sportsfan882]

pathetic Willie. Why is he still here? Oh, because he can play multiple positions? Who cares when he is hitting .158?

That's why we held on to Fick for so long. It's a Nationals thing.

[daveb32]

That was dirty.

[sportsfan882]

lmao at Durham with a 3/4 game.

[spidernat]

  Sutton: This is all Hanrahan has to do. (2 seconds later he gives up a double)

[spidernat]

Peace.

[sportsfan882]

hanging slider on an 0-2 count? wtf? jackass

[ronnynat]

Damn, that dude has got some power.

[sportsfan882]

0-2 count and he had just thrown a fastball that the guy barely fouls off and then he speeds up his bat with a slider. Why?
