damn, nobody cares about the game tonight huh.

Bonifacio leads off with a double, belliard drives him in but gets thrown out at 2nd.

Any news on Crow?

Any news on Crow?

nope, He'll be signed around 10:30 or 11 is my guess. There is no way he is going to pass this up, he'd be an idiot.
I can understand if he was a 3rd rounder, but not a top 10 pick.

I bet he doesn't.  He sounds like that much of a punk idiot.

[MrMadison]

THAT is why the Rockies fans are so infatuated with Tulo.

that was a GREAT pitch by Redding. GREAT pitch. 8 times out of ten, that's a swing and a miss or a weak pop-up.

and Tulo HANDLED it.

Belliard at SS.   

[ronnynat]

During the pre-game show, they shared quotes from the Nats message board. I thought that was pretty cool.

[eagleskins]

Did Belliard get traded or what?  Hopefully we can flip him, Perez, and Redding for some nice prospects. 

[fersaltiel]

Seriously Bonifacio? Swinging at a 3-2 ball low?

... dammit

[sportsfan882]

redding is a freaking wussy nag.

[eagleskins]

Redding is garbage.  Trade him for a pony keg. 

[eagleskins]

Any chance to win this game just went out the window when Colome came in. 

[fersaltiel]

3 K's Bonifacio? ARE YOU crapTING ME?

[The Chief]

I'm amazed at the dropoff in game thread activity tonight

[eagleskins]

EB is going to lead the majors in K's if we allow him to play next year. 

[spidernat]

I had company or I would've started the thread myself. I just got rid of the intruders but they "promised" to come back next Saturday when the Redskins will be playing their 4th preseason game.    I'll let them learn for themselves that my door and phone are out of order on days the Redskins play.

Bad news on Belliard (good news for AZ because one of his dreamboats is staying).

Phelps is a freaking beast!

1,2,3 in the 9th, the Nats go down meekly, weakly and sickly.
