I was supposed to go tonight, but the tickets fell through. I'm not happy about it. She was cute too...

I take it the Red Sux aren't playing tonight?

They are, against the Pads. Updates every five frickin minutes in the middle of this Yankees game.

Sorry bro. If I had known I would have checked with Pops if he had extras. The guy can find tickets for almost anything.

It's alright. Seeing how bad the weather turned out to be, it's probably for the best. Gonna try again for one of the championship games next week. I've got enough connections for tix, it shouldn't be a problem...

King Felix, Ackley, Justin Smoak, Bedard, and there young pitcher that's doing pretty decent.

Also, Death to Flying Things!

We get both Bedard and King Felix, along with Doug Fister.

We don't get Hernandez. We get the "young pitcher".

BTW - that game is exhibit A against rushing a pitcher to the majors. Meet Andrew Miller.

Andrew Miller as in the guy from the Miggy Cabrera deal?

Whether we win or lose, Pineda is fun to watch at work.

I'll be at the game! Go nats!

sounds like there could be some trouble getting in some of these games due to threat of rain

Might be going to the game with some friends. Hopefully it gets in.

I think the Nats will at the very least win this series.

It seems like they have done well against the no offense/pitching and defense teams this year, like the Giants and Padres.

#Nationals lineup vs. #Mariners - Werth 9, Bernadina 8, Zim 5, Nix 7, Morse 3, Espinosa 4, Ramos 2, Hernandez 1, Desmond 6

That's the best lineup we have. No excuse not to win tonight even with Livo on the mound.

Seattle's active roster is batting .370/.407/.605 off of Livo in 81 ABs.

He's been such a loser lately. Disgraceful giving up 3 hits against that terrible Cards lineup. Lucky for him the game ended after 9 innings because for sure he was starting to tire and once again it would have fallen to the bullpen in the 12th or 13th to try to salvage the game.

Seattle isn't garbage... neither is Fister.

You can't just say, no excuse not to win... and make it be so.

Swap Espinosa and Bernadina and I agree.

Seattle's lineup is pathetic bad.

Fister has given up 3 or 4 earned runs in all of his last 5 his starts.

This is a career minor leaguer who has a career 12-26 record in the Majors. He is a backend #5 SP at very best. Someone that we should be able to beat up on.

Sharp · « **Reply #46:** June 21, 2011, 01:29:07 PM »

Bad pitchers are capable of spectacular displays of pitching even against good offenses, which the Nats don't really have. You can never "guarantee" a win.

We'll see how this all translates to tonight's start.

I'm not saying they won't... but to assume that from the start for a guy with a career 3.97 ERA and 1.28 WHIP is a joke.

We'd kill for a starter with those career numbers... and you go off and call him "a backend #5 SP at very best".

It's hilarious you use W/L record to justify why he's a bum.

Who's guaranteeing a win? I am stating that this is a game that this team should win. The matchups the next two days look unfavorable. A win tonight is crucial.

The Nats say they have turned the corner, well prove it and win tonight against a #5 pitcher and a weak offense at home.
