Nationals vs Rays, Game 1

[fersaltiel]

how the freak is that not a strike?

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Have we won a series where we haven't won the first game?

I don't think we've won a game in a series where that's happened.

[BH34Natural]

THAT'S A BIG K!!!!!!

[BH34Natural]

Man get this out and lets tie this one up

[TylerDC]

Nice pitch.

[BH34Natural]

[PC]

We won the first Mets series and lost the first game of that series.

I think we won  a game three against the Os.

I don't think we've won a game in a series where that's happened.

wow, he got out of it. Momentum shifter. The bats need to get it going

[Fan037]

Matsui - good lord!  Got him out.  Lucky to get out of that mess.

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Davey you old fart, this loss is on you.

[tomterp]

Why are we using this clown after a DAY OFF on a 3 game LOSING STREAK and down 1?!?!

A calm, cool veteran who can get the job done?

Steve McCatty's gotta beat the concept of covering first into our pitchers' heads.

[aussienatsfan]

well done gonzalez

[welch]

Yes!!!!

Dear old Matsui...a fine ballplayer...a real pro...but I'm glad he's out to Adam LaR

Why didn't you post that DURING the inning?

[GburgNatsFan]

Thanks. Can't believe I didn't remember that.

We won the first Mets series and lost the first game of that series.

[tomterp]

Davey you old fart, this loss is on you.

I can't believe he trusted in Gonzalez there.  Doesn't he know he should only use Clippard and Burnett for every situation?  Senile.

Just getting caught up on some of the old posts, I just joined the thread a few minutes ago.

That's not fair, he ends up on the third base side of the mound, and took off to first as quickly as he could.

Again, it would have been nice if you were snippy DURING the inning rather than after.  Gonzalez is the last (or next to last) pitcher in the bullpen.  Why choose to go to him at this point...even if it turned out not killing the team.

[sportsfan882]

He pitched for the Nats, they should know about his glove

[tomterp]

Glove inspection!!

Flashbacks to Frank and Fat Donnelly.
