Nationals vs Mets, Game 1

spider, where did you get the info about SS coming to D.C.?

[spidernat]

I went to the store to look for a Planter's peanut bar and didn't find one. 

[sportsfan882]

so many bad ABs by this offense

they don't even hit the ball hard

[The Chief]

A QS has to be fewer than 3 runs and at least 6 innings. so yes.

Actually it's 3 or fewer.  I just wasn't sure if Redding blowing it in the 7th would lose me the bet, but it doesn't matter now.

Amusing timing there.

It was on one of those websites that track Santa Claus' route on Christmas Eve but since it's only June, and folks around here are treating SS like he is a coveted Christmas gift, they are tracking Strasburg.

Yeah that's what I meant but it's now irrelevant.

oh so you were just joking?


damn you Belliard.

[sportsfan882]

Beimel to face the heart of their order? :vomit:

I would have left MacDougal in.

My bad sportsfan.   

[The Chief]

Is there some formula to the way sportsfan choses his mancrushes/hates?  They seem so random.

[PatsNats28]

should i go play video games, or watch us blow this game?

[tomterp]

Guzman needs a few more games off.

[sportsfan882]

Guzman is so slow going to the left. should be on the freaking bench.

He seems to prefer them young (sf is a cougar ). Also, they almost have to be from the Nats farm system, except for David Wright so maybe there's something about the Tidewater area (this bumps them out of orbit). Other than that he just hates Dunn.

[sportsfan882]

Beimel is mediocre and Acta is putting him in a position to fail.

It's pretty predictable. Bergmann, Villone, Biemel will likely do ok and then Joel will spoil anything we have going

what about nieves?

[sportsfan882]

thanks again Acta. You don't bring Beimel in to face Beltran and Wright.

Mutts fans cheering loudly. let's go Mets

Now he's got a lefty to face, he's the best guy for this job.

[spidernat]

what about nieves?

Even AZ has his exception in Zimmerman. 

[sportsfan882]

jeez. at least he caught it. almost a disaster.

[shoeshineboy]

Good recovery. That could have been nasty.

[The Chief]

I heard let's go Nats.

[spidernat]

In fairness Beimel should be out of the inning.
