I had a bad feeling about Bergmann last night, but a good one about Balester tonight.  And I've been pretty darn on spot recently. 

[cmdterps44]

Damn, this should be the order

(CF) Willie Harris
(SS) Cristian Guzman
(3B) Ryan Zimmerman
(RF) Austin Kearns
(2B) Ronnie Belliard
(SC) Jesus Flores
(1B) Paul LoDuca
(LF) Ryan Langerhans
(SP) Collin Balester

I cant stand FLOP, Langerhans was on fire in the braves series, and Lo Duca playing Left is always scary, its like seeing a slower Wily Mo.

[Air Zimmerman]

I think Balester will have his best outing tonight.

[cmdterps44]

Hmm my lineup was close but Flop is still in there

[tomterp]

I think Balester will have his best outing tonight.

Nothing scary about SF's lineup, it's a good opportunity to shine.

I keep thinking that too but for whatever reason their bats always come alive against us.

[hammondsnats]

if balester struggles expect for me to start a countdown until when eagleskins invades and saying bally sucks and shouldn't be part of the team.

[tomterp]

I keep thinking that too but for whatever reason their bats always come alive against us.

Like us, they don't have a single guy on the team with even 10 home runs.

[2k6nats]

Like us, they don't have a single guy on the team with even 10 home runs.

Unlike them, we have two guys that if healthy and playing every day, would have 10+ homers right now.

[sportsfan882]

Like us, they don't have a single guy on the team with even 10 home runs.

And similar to us, they have about 3 or 4 true ML hitters in their lineup. The rest are either minor leaguers or retreads.

[sportsfan882]

Nice job, Willie. We need to take an early lead. It's about time we lit a garbage pitcher up unlike last night.

[sportsfan882]

so much for that 

[eagleskins]

I never said that.  I said he was pitching like garbage his last game, which he was. 

[hammondsnats]

just playing man.

wow guzman has a full count, you don't see that a lot.

[sportsfan882]

figures. that stupid baserunning move by Harris immediately comes back to bite us as is usually the case with us.

[spidernat]

WTF was Harris doing!

[fersaltiel]

Well we could have 1st and 2nd with no outs ... ... crap.

[spidernat]

We should be taking this punk to school.

[sportsfan882]

nice hit, RZ. Man Harris freaked this inning to hell. This bum will likely get out of this inning unscathed despite giving up 3 hits. 

[eagleskins]

We are going to kill this guy tonight.  I'm expecting double digit runs ala the Braves series.  Sucks that Walnuts is playing ahead of Langey. 

[hammondsnats]

hell yeah kid clutch.

anyone else here this drunk guy in the background heckling the nats?  haha its hilarious.

[sportsfan882]

swing the freakin bat!! hanging slider. He pulled that same crap last night. such a hittable pitch

[hammondsnats]

i'm never cheering for AK25 again.  Everytime I say he's coming around, he stinks and can't deliver in the clutch.

[spidernat]

3 hits = 0 runs   Only the Nats.
