It's the second inning and we already have our prerequisite error.

Hey Chief, I just set up a new topic (as GAMEDAY THREAD), thinking no mods around. If you can delete that now that you're here, thanks. I knew I couldn't make it a Sticky, but didn't think we were getting a mod.

Got it. Thanks for watching out

O'Connor strikes out 3 in a row to get out of a no-outs two-on jam! :eek:

It's as if a popup bunt SHOULD be an out, so we get a double play because he got on.

Heh, I never thought of it like that.

Wow that might be a webgem play by Zimmerman and Johnson.

O'Connor reaches on an error by Tejada!

I saw our friend with the Caps avatar (Nats19?) browsing along with someone else no longer listed now, but they might have left before you got the Game Day thread going. I never noticed the list of people browsing before, when I was trying to figure out how to set one up. O'Connor's at 46 pitches in 3 innings. The Orioles fielders have butter fingers tonight.

For anyone who reads this thread later, Mark Lerner is in the booth. He said he hopes the Nats sweep the Orioles. Reading between the lines, I'm guessing the Lerners were forced to swallow the TV deal that Angelos got, and now wants to stick it to him!

Gibbons you freaking jackass don't hit line drives at our pitcher!!! :x

Good evening everybody! Getting ready for a weekend of military duty, so I'm here with you guys and not at the ball park. Let's go Nats!

Welcome to the chicken coop, it's all eggs so far!

That must have hurt. I hope it doesnt have any negative effects on one of our two effective pitchers...

UMDNats · « **Reply #15:** May 19, 2006, 08:05:08 PM »

that was indeed me. thanks for making the thread, guys.

church's strong arm almost forced a DP...runner stays at 3rd!

I like the way O'Conner is getting ahead of hitters.

UMDNats · « **Reply #19:** May 19, 2006, 08:12:03 PM »

O'CONNOR GETS OUT OF IT!

nats2playoffs · « **Reply #20:** May 19, 2006, 08:12:51 PM »

Gibbons named at least three relatives who went to GWU, including himself and his dad. That, and good pitching, may help O'Connor become entrenched in Washington, as a GWU guy himself. Lerner said they're determined to get ALL the games on TV. 2 on and no out...but O'C worked his way out - he's got poise...and 5 K's!

KyleScha · « **Reply #21:** May 19, 2006, 08:13:34 PM »

O'Connor rocks. He may not have the best stuff but he never gives up. And the first time it was first and second with no outs I dont really think it was his fault. Zimm errored, then he threw Conine 4 strikes in that at bat.

he's quickly becoming my favorite pitcher, besides J-Patt.

Yeah, it's a damn shame they'll probably just send him back down once Patterson comes off the DL

Add "bunting" to the fundamental the next manager needs to work on, in addition to base running, fielding by pitchers, etc, etc, etc
