Nationals vs Angels, Game 1

praise Jesus

Bat him 3rd!

What a dumb pitch by Lackey. He had Flores done there.

[spidernat]

Look at Flores. Chases two balls way in the dirt and then on the next pitch he smokes it into CF for a single. 

Awful pitch by Lackey and FLores took advantage.

Harris had his best year with Atlanta last year.  I'd like to think he's coming out of an awful slump, by learning to ignore Lenny Harris.

I remember seeing him bat lead-off and saying man I wish we could get him. Know...well it is a different story.

Harris had his best year with Atlanta last year.

It was a really strange year.  He really had two good months and was complete garbage for the rest of the year.

I'd definitely like to see him start instead of WMP, though.

[PatsNats28]

ouch...

[nyexpofan]

but the angels bottom of the order is up and here's where Nats pitchers are most vulnerable

[sportsfan882]

bad curve ball. tied up.

[Natskins]

It was a really strange year.  He really had two good months and was complete garbage for the rest of the year.

I'd definitely like to see him start instead of WMP, though.

Absolutely. I just want someone out there who can catch a damn ball. Any offense is gravy.

[nyexpofan]

and now instead of 2-1 Nats, its 1-1

[sportsfan882]

Felix Hernandez hit a grand slam off of Santana tonight?   

[nyexpofan]

its important for Bergmann to retire Lackey

[d_mc_nabb]

PISS!

[ronnynat]

Felix Hernandez hit a grand slam off of Santana tonight?   

I heard about that. Did you get to see C.C.'s from yesterday? I heard it went way over 400 ft. I haven't seen it yet, though.

[MrMadison]

Felix Hernandez hit a grand slam off of Santana tonight?   

wha?

*dashes to the Mets board.*

this should be good.

[nats2playoffs]

Bergmann can't get past 4 innings.  Kotchman singled.  Kendrick doubled to center, Kotchman to third.
Mathis hit sacrifice fly to left, Kotchman scored.

Nationales 1
Angeles 1


Bergmann, use the pics!

[KnorrForYourMoney]

Absolutely. I just want someone out there who can catch a damn ball. Any offense is gravy.

I was just about to applaud Harris for his defense on that last play.  That 3rd out would NOT have been caught by WMP.  This is why Harris should start instead of that bum.

[JMUalumni]

20 pitch inning for Bergmann, hes sitting at 62 now (versus Lackey's 43 through 4)

[spidernat]

Absolutely. I just want someone out there who can catch a damn ball. Any offense is gravy.

How pathetic have we become when we have reduced a run producing power position like LF where defense is secondary to this? 

[PatsNats28]

Hey he's not done just yet, I mean he's given up 3 hits, he can def go 7.

[nyexpofan]

Notice Nopez took th efirst pitch again. you think Manny told him that under no circumstances may he swing at the 1st pitch

[sportsfan882]

wha?

*dashes to the Mets board.*

this should be good.

They want Wright gone too. Apparently he had a bad error that caused all 4 runs to be unearned.
