[NatsAllThe Way]

I thought the game just started.  Hey hey happy to see it's 5-0.

[skippy1999]

Was he one of the guys who did that stuff in Boston?

Yes, I think he and Beckett were the ringleaders.

Zimm was going for the GIDP

Sad sad Cub fans. I feel bad.

Cubs announcers said "Wow" after Rizzo struck out. Seem astonished that Strasburg has struck out the side the last two innings.

Was Lackey staring down Strasburg?

Anyone know the song on Harper's second trip to the plate?  I've googled his walk up songs, but none seem to be that song. Thanks.

Rizzo doesnt ever strike out so twice in 2 ABs i can see why they would react.that way.

Who's "everybody" FP?

What did he say?

[mitlen]

What did he say?

"Everybody" is on social media wanting to make something out of Hawpah's tweet last night (I think it was a tweet.)

Great thing about being at the ballpark...don't have to suffer thru FP.

What did he say?

Hawpah and the missus were out with Bryant and the missus.    Had a picture and Hawpah wrote "back to back".    FP took it as wanting to bat back to back.    I was thinking a swap.

MVP's?

Nats haven't swung and missed once tonight

[RobDibblesGhost]

And that streak is over

[bluestreak]

By way Spider, Zimm got an RBI when he reached on that error.

Can't ever assume it would have been a double play.

[spidernat]

By way Spider, Zimm got an RBI when he reached on that error. 

That's because for RBI's sake it is considered a fielder's choice. It doesn't improve his OBP.

[spidernat]

once he muffed it you knew it was a run with his weak arm
