Nationals @ Phillies, Game 3

[natsfan1a]

Eh, we still won the series.

[ronnynat]

Well, we're 3-1. We should be at least a little satisfied, right?

[fersaltiel]

God, freaking unbelievable ... god dammit ...

[nats2playoffs]

i say we walk in the running win

WISH GRANTED.
WE LOSE 8-7.

[ZIM4MVP]

it would have been nice to see a strike thrown

[daveb32]

When you can't put a fastball over the plate, you shouldn't be in the Majors.

[Jayman77]

Where's "sports"fan????

[cmdterps44]

we should have won that game to make us 4-0 ****

[natsfan1a]

And still leading the division. But that was a tough one.

Well, we're 3-1. We should be at least a little satisfied, right?

[Nat of the Living Dead]

Thank you, Beachball.  Thank you, Colome. Your real lockers are in Columbus.

[NatMan]

uggggggg...oh well guys off to the caps game.....hopefully we do better tonight.  See you all soon!

GO NATS

[ronnynat]

When you can't put a fastball over the plate, you shouldn't be in the Majors.

I would have preferred Rauch in that situation. Or even Schroder. Colome's never really been known for his accuracy.

[ronnynat]

Thank you, Beachball.  Thank you, Colome.

Zimmerman, too, today.

[Nat of the Living Dead]

we should have won that game to make us 4-0 ****

Exactly. It never should've gotten to this point, even with the two runs our relievers gave up. Inexcusable.

[Nat of the Living Dead]

Zimmerman, too, today.

Thank you, Zimmerman. Thanks to all who left the bases loaded.

[MrMadison]

i'm sorry, but giving back a 5-run lead is inexcusable.  especially when we jumped on the phillies as early as we did.

[ernie0326]

oh well...we won the series at least...on to STL!!

[ronnynat]

oh well...we won the series at least...on to STL!!

That's how I feel. Baseball is officially out of my head. Too big of a hockey game tonight to think about this one.

[cmdterps44]

yea thats exactly what i was talkin bout, we shoulda won with a 6-1 game.. giving up 6 runs in one inning isnt really a good way to go, followed by a walk in winning run.. ughh, just hope they can shake that type of playing off and win in stl.

[ronnynat]

KC swept Detroit

[Air Zimmerman]

ah, o well...the quest for 162-0 ends on an inexcusable 4 pitch walk-off walk. i don't know what's up with jesus, his velocity is filthy but he reverted back to his wild ways. i just hope this demoralizing loss doesn't result in a tailspin. everybody should be feeling good about themselves heading to st. louis unless your name is ray king or jesus colome.

bottom line is, we took 2 of 3 from the phils in their stadium 

[ronnynat]

One last thing that I need to say about this game. I still want to know A) why Acta chose to walk Utley to get to Howard, and B) why Dmitri didn't pinch hit? Please update if you hear anything.

[natsfan1a]

(raises hand) or Saul Rivera?

everybody should be feeling good about themselves heading to st. louis unless your name is ray king or jesus colome.

[Air Zimmerman]

and one obvious positive from today's game, is guzman continuing to prove that he's back to minnesota twins form!

[cmdterps44]

Well, im fine with the choice of walking utley and howard in the 8th, but when the game is on the line and can end with a single run.. Why do it again?
