Nationals vs Orioles, Game 1

[spidernat]

Prefer shaved Kangaroos

[nats2playoffs]

My ouija board is invoking a 2009-nationals-style bullpen implosion for the O's.

[spidernat]

He flipped his bat but I didn't hear Dibble or anyone else nagging about Harris showing up a pitcher.

[PANatsFan]

Aw damn I thought Olsen left with tightness in his terrible muscle, not in his shoulder Sucks.

[imref]

is it just me or do our 3-4-5 hitters walk far more than on other teams?

[EdStroud]

good point

[soxfan59]

Has there been an announcement on the extent of Olson's injury?

(By the way, the White Sox lead the Marlins 8-0 in the 6th).

[Neuman]

Nook Morgan scores too.

Nook?  Damn dude, that is almost as bad as the Sunny kid reference!!!

[PC]

That was a terrible swing, Adam.

Team just said he was "day to day"

[EdStroud]

Not to many pitchers wear #13.  Maybe because of Ralph Branca?

[PANatsFan]

It's too bad Frank hated him, because that guy was willing to do anything. Just hang out to dry while getting destroyed, short relief, long relief, it was useful.

[imref]

Brad Penny out with a strained muscle from his HR swing.

Awesome

[tomterp]

He's been pretty frustrated this season.  Must have felt good to contribute.

[Neuman]

Good thing the Nats only sold 27000 tix, or that liner from dunn would ve killed someone

[PANatsFan]

Damn it, Dunn.

[PC]

We needed something good there Adam. 

[soxfan59]

Team just said he was "day to day"

thanks.   And can I say . . .

"Hello . . . . Neuman"

[tomterp]

Team just said he was "day to day"

By Sunday he'll be visiting Dr. Andrews.     

[nats2playoffs]

DUNN FLIES OUT.

Two mysteries SOLVED:

1) Why the Nationals are not hitting tonight,
2) What happened to the Red Stapler.

[Neuman]

He's been pretty frustrated this season.  Must have felt good to contribute.

And, he knows the guys feed off him (did you see how they mobbed him on his walk-off single a few weeks back).  The guys loved seeing him do that, I promise you.

and yes, the thread did liven up.  but it is getting painfully long - I feel like I am at a Red Sox game...

At least the rest of the O's pen is pretty bad.

Don't get it twisted. I don't care if they flip their bat, admire their work or whatever it is they want to do. It's their prerogative. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of people who talk crap about it from other teams but think it's OK for one of our players does it.

[PC]

Now Storen (I'd guess) needs to hold them.
