Nationals @ Brewers, Game 3

[hammondsnats]

you are doing a good job, Jim. keep up the good work. (Image removed from quote.)

you freaking lame ass!!! makes the move way too late after a run has already scored. Why didn't Beimel start the inning? clueless freak

yeah blame the manager for mock and clippard giving up a combined 2 homers and a triple. 

[hammondsnats]

why would he not have another start? it's not like we have many replacements.

he hasn't been great up here. 

[spidernat]

It's SF logic...what do you expect? It's like the most freaked up kind of math out there.

SF was probably the type of kid who when things didn't go 100% his way he blew up into a tantrum. SF you got any brothers?

[sportsfan882]

Correct me if I'm wrong but we still have 5 games (62.5%) left in this road trip so how in the hell could the entire road trip be ruined?

after a loss like this who the hell knows if they will recover from it. count tomorrow's game as a loss and that leaves us at 2-2 with 4 games left to play. another bland split in Pitt gives us a 4-4 road trip. that is not a success.

[sportsfan882]

That is Bard's at least 2nd passed ball tonight. I don't know how in the hell they call that a wild pitch.

their definition must be different than mine. Those balls should have been easily stopped.

With this team .500 is a rousing success.

who are you going to replace him with?

duh he's been horrible but if you have no better options to replace him what is the point?

You should probably be glad that Chief isn't around, you could get the penalty box for spewing such unadulterated bullcrap.

[sportsfan882]

after winning the first two we should have been striving to take 3 of 4 in both series thus giving us a great 6-2 road trip.

can't believe they blew a 4-0 lead

i don't know if martis is much better, but who knows.  i'm hoping detwiler continues to throw well down there, he has more of a future with this team than mock.

also arnesen has been lights out in AA.

their definition must be different than mind. Those balls should have been easily stopped.

If it requires more than ordinary effort, it's supposed to be scored a wild pitch but of course some score keepers vary a little. Your definition (since you hate Bard and love Nieves) would penalize the catcher for not making a great play. Would you charge Zimmerman with an error for failing to make a great play?

[Nathan]

Mock is a AAA hero. He's got stars in his eyes...

He took one baseball, it felt good in his hands.
It didn't take long, to understand, he's an AAA hero...

[sportsfan882]

freak you Hoffman. this is going to suck. our hitters will look like fools rolling over his junk pitches.

[EdStroud]

Hoffman only has 9-40 save seasons in his career
Hes garbage

[nats2playoffs]

Since I screwed up my trivia question last night here is tonights
How old was Jose Morales when he debuted on 08-13-1973?

Age 28.  Born Dec 30, 1944 in Virgin Islands.

INVOKING JOSE MORALES...

a ball went right in between Bard's legs earlier in the game. that should never happen. if he had gotten down and blocked the ball like most catchers do he would have kept it in front of him with ease.

the passed ball stat is meaningless if plays like that aren't called passed balls

WAIT! But you said:

what are the odds that we beat them 3 days in a row in their park? slim to zero.

I would be stunned if the Brewers didn't win the next 2 days to gain a split to predictably end the series.

So that means we had no chance so we had no chance anyway.

[hammondsnats]

zimmerman just did.

[sportsfan882]

WAIT! But you said:

a very slim chance but after leading 4-0 obviously our chances were higher. but in the end I guess we were destined to lose these last two games of the series regardless of how we arrived at losing both games.

[BerkeleyNat]

Donkey time!!!!!

Edit: Maybe not

[sportsfan882]

you can't let Belliard hit right here. please god no.

he's 0/4 with 5 LOB tonight. and he has looked lifeless

[spidernat]

We face Gallardo who has 136 Ks in 128 IP and a 3.09 ERA.
 

freak the stats.

[madj55]

I don't know what I'll do if Belliard grounds into a double play.

[sportsfan882]

freak the stats then. you will watch him first-hand tomorrow to see how good of a pitcher he is.
