Nationals vs Phillies, Game 1

[HalfSmokes]

Most of our elite prospects aren't tradable now - Rendon and Purke for two.  I wouldn't preclude trading anyone for the right price but I agree with Rizzo that anybody we get needs to be a long term asset, not a short term stop gap.  Buy long, sell short.

Remains to be seen, if this team fizzles, we better be in it for the next few years or Rizzo blew it. The whole point of buying long selling short is thinking long term- trading this year better result in multiple playoff berths down the road

Of course Atlanta is winning

They aren't going to lose any more. Hottest team in baseball

This shark guy fails.

Looks like he doesn't miss many meals.

Time for a double switch. H-Rod pitches, Rizzo catches.

I think they'll be really close to us in the end, either way.

Warmups. He's auditioning to be our Bartman.

Nobody, but nobody, thought we were going to be in it this year.  Not sure what you mean by Rizzo blowing anything, are you saying he should sell (or, have sold) the farm for some short-term win-now pieces?

This team isn't going to fizzle.

GO H-ROD !

Time for a double switch. H-Rod pitches, Rizzo catches.

If Zim, Des, LaRoche don't get back soon they will. Also the starting pitching is tanking

[sportsfan882]

Hamels is going to carve them up on Thursday just like this

[mitlen]

HRod in  .....  time to bail out of this ride.

[PC]

8 relievers in the bullpen is the excuse they're using for keeping Rodriguez on the roster.

Coward.

This shark guy fails.

Moore looked pissed after that dumb ass knocked his arm down.  If you're going to wear a goofy hat and bring your glove to the game how about understanding how the game is played before you interfere with the home team.

I don't think any "elite" prospects were traded today. Tommy Joseph was traded for Pence was probably the best of the bunch.

I think that the Nats could have added pieces without trading Rendon, Myers, Purke, etc. Hopefully, we can add a catcher and some bullpen depth in August and that Rizzomisnt as comfortable as he sounds...

[Obed_Marsh]

I wonder if that was Coladar or Heeman who just spilled that drink.

[GburgNatsFan]

H-Rod needs a change in scenery, for his own good as well as the team's.

[mmzznnxx]

Davey's going to send down a position player? Really? To keep this clown up?

[MarquisDeSade]

HROD DOING WORK!!! 

[PowerBoater69]

$2 worth of beer in the Presidents Club?  I don't think Carp knows how it works down there.

Good thing there was no one in that seat next to him, would have been a beer facial.
