Just posting a thread now so there is one. I won't be watching because I have a fantasy football draft at 2 PM today. Glad of it too.
Today's lineup is an insult on so many levels. Everyone in the lineup is a bench player or worse and not a part of our future except EB and LM.

Washington

Bonifacio -- 2B
Harris -- LF
Milledge -- CF
Boone -- 1B
Belliard -- 3B
Langerhans -- RF
Orr -- SS
Nieves -- C
Perez -- LHP

Colorado

Barmes -- 2B
Taveras -- CF
Holliday -- LF
Atkins -- 1B
Hawpe -- RF
Iannetta -- C
Tulowitzki -- SS
Stewart -- 3B
Cook -- RHP

Thanks for creating the thread

Any word on why Zimmerman is not starting? Getaway game?

This should be a fun game. Only one player in our lineup has a batting average over .260, Will Nieves with a .269 avg. Then again, we do have the top 3 on our team in Home Runs (Milledge, Belliard, Harris) throwing around some power in there

The Rockies are the 2nd best hitting team in MLB against left-handed pitchers. That accounts for the shelling of Lannan yesterday and Odalis Perez could get the same today. The Nationals needed to find a way to put up righties this series, but that would have required that we have a GM and manager...

:stupid:

good evening, lets hope for a fun game to watch.

expos96 · « **Reply #5:** August 17, 2008, 01:39:23 PM »

First out (nice catch and throw Emilio)

We have an off day tomorrow so this isn't considered a getaway game. Zimmerman is probably just getting a day off in order to give him two days of rest before we resume play in Philly.

And a flyer to Milledge for out nr 2

expos96 · « **Reply #8:** August 17, 2008, 01:43:27 PM »

And a SB (and a walk)

expos96 · « **Reply #9:** August 17, 2008, 01:45:13 PM »

Everybody enjoying the nice wheather (as far as I can see)

expos96 · « **Reply #10:** August 17, 2008, 01:45:29 PM »

And walk nr2

expos96 · « **Reply #11:** August 17, 2008, 01:46:09 PM »

And a flyer to end the inning (with no harm done)

Luckily Perez worked his way out of that jam. Let's get some runs.

After watching the incessant parade of "Walk, Run" on the scoreboard yesterday whenever the Rockies came to bat, my expectations for this team have reached a new low.

I'll be happy if we manage to get one run today.

and a hit from Willie Harris

They talk as if Zimmerman and Kearns are world beaters.

spidernat · « **Reply #16:** August 17, 2008, 01:53:42 PM »

A game of inches. Had Tulowitski, who was reaching for the errant throw, nicked the ball, we'd have runners at 1st and 3rd with only one out.

expos96 · « **Reply #17:** August 17, 2008, 01:55:28 PM »

Inning 1 over.
Slow roller by Boone

Indeed, but now it looks almost brilliant.

spidernat · « **Reply #19:** August 17, 2008, 02:00:24 PM »

I can't stand Odalis Perez.

expos96 · « **Reply #20:** August 17, 2008, 02:02:24 PM »

A lot of people are late.
Is that normal?

expos96 · « **Reply #21:** August 17, 2008, 02:03:33 PM »

And a catch fron Belliard to end the 2nd (no harm done)

Yeah we have a lame fanbase that is not really interested in the game itself. And that's not because the team sucks. People here are always late so that won't change when the team gets better.

For example in the incident of the people that stood up in the open roof double decker bus, they were on their way to the game over an hour late.

Obed_Marsh · « **Reply #23:** August 17, 2008, 02:05:55 PM »

Base hit for Ronnie. 11/17 against the Rockies this year according to the radio.

expos96 · « **Reply #24:** August 17, 2008, 02:05:58 PM »

Ok.
It's not like in Europe people are allways on time.
But not in such numbers...
