Nationals vs Padres, Game 2

[bklynnats]

Meh, Venable killing us today.

[spidernat]

That mother freaker Will Venable can go freak himself too. Always does well against the Nats and sucks horribly against everyone else.

How is Ryan Perry this bad?

And why is he throwing over to first trailing by 5 runs in the 8th inning?

[DPMOmaha]

Sometimes it just doesn't go your way.

[mitlen]

Not yet spider, we got two at bats.

[zimm_da_kid]

He stood there and watched the ball drop in shallow left ... first batter.

how many runs did it cost us?

More than runs, it got to Stras.   Ended up with the bases loaded.   Then it rained at 3-2   ... Then?   Pffffft

[spidernat]

how many runs did it cost us?

3

[mitlen]

3

Thanks for being succinct spider.

Perry gave up a run and his ERA dropped by 4

[The Chief]

So we're blaming all the runs on the dropped ball now?  I'm not defending Bernadina's play, but Stras still has to pitch.  Saying Bernie's drop cost us 3 runs is a little bit...   off.

AT LEAST I GOT MY O'S ON TONIGHT HUNNNNNNNNN.  GO BIRDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Hey, did ya hear VCU is going to the Atlantic 10?

Aye, then off it is laddie.

No doubt he still has to pitch but it definitely led to the runs. If you play it out as an error (or as a play that should've been made) Strasburg retires the side before any run crosses the plate.

They are going let this bum wannabee pitch a complete game

Sadly SF, you're right.

Did not hear that. That's a pretty good move for their program. When will it go into effect? I was at the brandcenter on the VCU campus last Friday. I ended up eating at a little spot down the road that featured a pretty good gyro.

hey, my name is Lombo and I am a freaking beast.

I heard 2013 but it could be next year.     My boy's at VCU.

Say what? How does calling it an error or not change the outcome?

Good move for VCU. Bummed that this will make the CAA less interesting, though.

[RobDibblesGhost]

I'm going to predict an Atlanta win tonight.  One of those days...

[Slateman]

Lombo hit good

[TylerDC]

I missed the whole thing.

Tried to follow on game cast. What did I miss other than Harper's bomb (425+?) and Strasburg's first poor outing?
