Nationals vs Phillies, Game 3

[trangert418]

I haven't seen the end of many games this season.......is the Hershey's syrup and cool whip pie to the face a thing of the past. I sure hope so....

  Lol..... I realized it didn't even carryover to 2016

HARPER! EXTEND RIZZO!

Glad he didn't sign Benoit?

Guaranteed Harper strike out here

[imref]

Kelley is probably the closer now.

Easter Bunny Tackles President!

Kelley is probably the closer now.

Good, he's definitely the best reliever. He allows a tad too many homers but he usually doesn't let anyone on for them and he's a strikeout machine which we need.

All the way !!

[RiotAct]

some one ninja'd me on the Curly W!!  Haha... missed the bottom of the 9th due to family Easter stuff (NANF), nice surprise to see that we won.

HAWPER! I was watching it live and feared we would lose, thus losing the series (yet another series loss to the dang cheesesteaks.) Glad Harper is as good as he is or even better sometimes.

 

Wait that Prez Race is from last year. This year the bunny nearly took off Teddy's head. Teddy had some rabbit ears on that were torn off.

Thanks for keeping this up to date. Missed the game yesterday between the Wizards and Easter lunch. Sounds like it was an exciting one.

So you are saying the 3 playoff years all started faster in terms of Ws and Ls, as did our 5 of our 6 best seasons.

Basically true - the Nats started off on the right foot with relatively fast starts on those playoff seasons - but it becomes even clearer the deeper we get into the season, as the numbers are increasingly less likely to be affected by exactly when the season started (these season-opener dates range from as early as 30th March to as late as 6th April).
