This game is going to be hard to watch I have a feeling. Dempster is unstoppable at home and Perez is way overdue for a bad start.

I think Odalis will give up at least 3 bombs.

The Nationals are 3-7 after games in which they beat the opponent by 5 or more runs.

They're scared of Willie.

JMUalumni · « **Reply #5:** August 23, 2008, 01:11:53 PM »

That is crazy that Harris leads the team in A.) hits B.) extra base hits C.) runs D.) RBIs since the all-star break.

Zim is rolling. Come on, we need a 3-run blast!

JMUalumni · « **Reply #7:** August 23, 2008, 01:12:24 PM »

Nice hit by Zimm, he has been looking a lot better in the last week.

Milledge with another GDP, that is his achilles heal

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #9:** August 23, 2008, 01:14:33 PM »

terrible. Milledge hits into far too many DPs for a guy that is as fast as he is.

Looks like its just you and me today SportsFan, too early of a start for others? Or just too pathetic of a team?

Probably a little of both. I just got up at 12 so I barely made it in time. I don't think this will be much of a game for long anyways.

ugh. 2 bad plays by EB in 1 inning.

JMUalumni · « **Reply #13:** August 23, 2008, 01:21:12 PM »

Bonifacio is a good fielder, IMO, but it seems like his throws are off a bit too much. It looks like he might be trying to rifle it too hard sometimes.

Can't stand Perez. Nibbles more than anybody but when the count is 0-2 he refuses to nibble like he should.

I'm lurking also.

Good pitch, finally.

JMUalumni · « **Reply #17:** August 23, 2008, 01:23:54 PM »

Good pitch by Perez there to get the strikeout

What time is the skins game tonight?

I don't really watch preseason, I got the regular season times down, though. Thought I might catch them skins in action tonight to see what we are working with.

I'm sick of hearing excuses made for Kearns. If he's hurt then he should get the freak out of the lineup for everybody's sake. That crap isn't heroic or commendable. To some people that may make him a gamer. To me it just makes him a freaking bum that can't produce.
