Nationals vs Phillies, Game 2

[Nat of the Living Dead]

Any chick that partakes in sports talk is well prepared for "edgy abode" (aka inappropriateness, locker room banter, etc.)

Now if only some men were as prepared...

[DPMOmaha]

Does that lineup look likely? We scored 8 runs last game why not keep it like it was?

Well...Guzman is hurt and Milledge was sent down, kinda hard to put those guys back in the lineup...

Oh I see, I completly forgot Guzzy but I don't like Dukes at 2nd that means more walks for Dunn.

No one knows what the lineups are yet.  They're just filler until the lineups are released closer to game time.

On another note, its been drizzle all day maybe a few drops here and there, around silver spring. I think they would play in this weather though.

Weather update from 14th and Pennsylvania -- raining pretty steadily, but probably not enough to delay or postpone the game. 

And, I'm with ballgirl -- any chick who's used to being around guys and sports can probably handle this place

yeah still lazy drizzle in bethesda, i'm 99% sure we'll get the game in tonight. 

but i will say if the female posters on this board can handle this group of guys, you ladies can probably handle any guys out there.

weather.com says light rain all day changing to rain at 7pm.

Doubleheader tomorrow? It's normally pretty hard to get swept in a DH although we did that to Colorado last year I believe.

[nats2playoffs]

sorry if I offended you ballgirl14. I didn't know you were on here until just now.

Two ladies who call themselves "chicks..."  It's unusual to see sportsfan882 post an apology.  sportsfan882 NEVER posts anything that would offend ANYONE on this forum (WNFF.)  He is the model of calmness, is well-mannered, and never even uses profanity in this thread [yet.] 

So now we need to see that pic, to evaluate the accuracy of [owesMe1]sportsfan882's[/owesMe1] "hot as crap" rating.


Zero wins and 7 losses makes cherry blossoms cry & die

Only the cool girls can handle be referred to as chicks   Most women are too uppity.

Anywho, no more rain downtown . . . at least for now.

best gameday thread of the year so far

[Air Zimmerman]

ENOUGH is ENOUGH! lets get a freaking win! Martis needs to man up and pitch a gem and the offense needs to smack Blanton around. this is really our last winnable game for the rest of the week, Hamels on Thursday, and then the dreaded Marlins this weekend who absolutely own our lives.

*please no rain out. i don't care if we're 0-7, 48+ hours w/o Nats baseball would suck. i'm starving for that first win!

[PANatsFan]

I hope it gets rained out and that they play a DH tomorrow. I bet Comcast would get both games (today's game is on local Philly CW and I don't get it).

I'm sorry PA but I've already missed enough day games at work, tonight's game must be played as scheduled.

That's me in my profile pic w/the AWFUL swing.  In my own defense, it was for a homerun derby so dropping the shoulder a little is acceptable.

I think that pic may belong in another thread

you're keeping your head on the pitch and it looks you have short, compact quick swing.  don't worry ryan zimmerman has been dropping his shoulder for everything thus far as well.

Im going to the game tomorrow with Hammonds, well I assume I am, two games would be awesome if somehow I can use my ticket to get into both

Teams have been scheduling a lot of day-night doubleheaders to squeeze some extra money at the gates. Classy. Seems easier for employees, fans, etc to play 2 in a row...

May also give the players some rest  . . .

I'll be pissed if tonight's game is rained out.  We need a win and need it badly, I can't go another day waiting for the Nats to pick up a W.

Latest Pete McElroy post:

I just arrived at Nationals Park and it was a miserable walk from the Navy Yard metro to the ballpark. It's raining, windy and nothing but gray skies as far as I can see from the press box, here on the sixth floor of the stadium.

It's a steady rain and after checking the forecast, it's not supposed to let up until 3:00 a.m.

I'm no meteorologist, but if I had to give my opinion, I would say there is no chance this game will get underway tonight.

The clubhouse opens at 3:30 p.m. so I'll head down to see what roster decisions have been made.

Lastings Milledge was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse yesterday, so the team has one move to make.

With Elijah Dukes taking over in center field, it leaves the Nationals with no back up at that position. I wouldn't be surprised to see Roger Bernadina is the clubhouse.

I'll be back with updates.

yeah NJ and Chatter blogs both have this game most likely not being played.  DAGGER.

i like the caps, but as i said, i'd rather get a nats win.

Heading out to get into some warm clothes and trash bags.....

Go Nats!
