Nationals vs Twins, Game 3

[imref]

And, btw, longest game thread since Opening Day. Not bad given that most people were watching the Caps game for the first few innings.

GDT was at 12 pages int the 12th.

I urge everyone to read this entire thread and all of PC and Sportsfan's posts. This is the stuff of legends fellas.

Agree.  Does anyone know why PC hates Dusty ?

So I caught the game whilst driving home from Rhode Island to visit the better half. Considering I left there expecting the game to be over (around 4) I made it to the Jersey state line still listening. Now that I'm home, I got to watch some of the replays, and not for nothing, but you can tell these guys are loose and seem to be really well connected with each other. The moves in the offseason seem to reek more of character over ability, and the biggest and arguably best one is Dusty. These guys really respect him from the looks of it and this is the best and happiest this team has looked since Davey was back there.

Papelbon seems to be having a blast.

Certainly the most absurd game I've been to, and one of the best. Thanks for the memories Nats

Because he's the Nats manager.

And to Smithian and Optics for being so prescient and optimistic.
