Nationals @ Cubs, Game 2

[mitlen]

STFU! The game is tied in the 4th inning. And it's not like Roark ha been lit up. He has yielded 2 freaking runs!

...   and then again.   

[PC]

So, no riot act?

[spidernat]

Charlie and Dave were also incredulous at how the bottom of their order, a bunch of lightweights, are killing us.

Our lightweights are more like flyweights.

[sportsfan882]

Just disgusting. Not Major League caliber.

This isn't the freaking Brewers!! What the freak is wrong with this team??!

[slhubic]

jesus...just how many excuses can these announcers try to come up with???

[spidernat]

But it's not like Roark coming back down to earth wasn't expected.

[mitlen]

jesus...just how many excuses can these announcers try to come up with???

They're company men.

[slhubic]

this is utterly disgusting...

[sportsfan882]

Roark will be an afterthought after this season. By this time next year he will be long gone in AAA and we'll never hear from him again.

But it's not like Roark coming back down to earth wasn't expected.

QFT. Just unfortunate that it's against a bunch of sub .200 hitters on the Cubs.

[spidernat]

Let's score some damn runs!

[PC]

They are actually going to get swept by the Cubs.  This is amazing in its awfulness.

But it's not like Roark coming back down to earh wasn't expected.

Haha, not quite quick enough with the ninja edit.     

[mitlen]

Let's score some damn runs!

There ya go.   That's the spirit.    We're due to win one 11 to 9.

[spidernat]

They are actually going to get swept by the cups.  This is amazing in its awfulness.

No way we get swept. First, we haven't lost this game yet. You may be waving the white flag already but I'm not conceding this one. And there is no way they lose both games of the doubleheader.

I'm going to copy this off somewhere so you don't slip in later and delete the evidence.

What, you never been to earh?     

[spidernat]

Juno's kangaroo tomterp. You're getting even more neurotic about that.

We have to rely on Gio to avoid a meltdown tomorrow to prevent being swept.

We were 6 games over .500 and will be a mere 1 over after this series.

[slhubic]

so, one out to START the inning...

Gio doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. And then Treinen vs their Ace no chance.

Yesterday and today were our best chances to win a game in this series.

I'll take this bet. No more posting from the loser until after the All Star break.
