I'd rather have more curly W's than entertainment. If I want entertainment I'll watch a movie.

Right.  It was sarcasm  :icon_mrgreen:

He's a worse outfielder and it's not even close.

He is passable at first.. as long as he doesn't have to field a lot of ground balls hit off the bat.

He's a worst first baseman.  And I'll never be convinced otherwise.

He'll commit more errors at first than in the outfield simply because the ball will come to him more often at first than in the outfield.

If we don't come back and win this ball game we should send a written apology to the rockies to being ungrateful and spitting on their face after they extended us some charity.

OT: I don't know if any of you has ever tried this but I'm eating an italian sub and instead of mayo I used blue cheese dressing and it's awesome!

in terms of catching throws he appears to be fine.

it's just the tough hop ground balls hit off the bat that give him a few problems.

what don't you like about him playing first?

99% of the time I'd agree with you but I'd surrender a couple victories for times like when Robinson and Guillen got Brendan Donnelly busted and started the pine tar feud.

feels like a typical Nationals game.

the offense blows some big opportunities early and lets the opposing pitcher off the hook and then tanks for the rest of the game.

Yeah but we also won that game so that was the best of both worlds.

Zimmerman is easily the best I've ever seen at turning that play.

He sucks at it.
where is this coming from? he has actually surprised me. he's not great but he's passable.

far worse of an outfielder.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that Zim, with Wright possibly out for the season, will get his first gold glove this year.

SF defending Adam Dunn????? Ok, the world is officially coming to an end.

I'd have to disagree. Great with the glove, awful with the arm. But that great is very great.

Sandoval or Reynolds will win it.

Cliff Lee has a no-no through 5 innings vs Dan Haren and the D-Backs.
1 run scored for D-Backs by an error.

He's been alot better since Riggleman took over. I think Wright would win because of where he plays and all of the hype he gets, but he probably won't play again this season....allowing Zim to slide in there.
