Nationals vs Red Sox, Game 3

[Scraps]

That would be a tragedy.

Yes it would be! And I just pulled a muscle in my back out on the deck from dehydration. I sure hope my wife has somebody to relieve me from grilling or those baby-back ribs are sure to get burned.

“Kieboom is really sick”, Dave.

I'd say that goes for most of the fans right now as well.

Shoulder stiffness for Fedde.  Getting a MRI.

we know what that means with this team's history

Murphy hasn’t been back on the active roster long enough yet to let Kevin Long ruin him.

Isn't Murph the main reason Long got the gig here? He swore by him!

Knight wants Davey's job.

Other than his hot streak during their playoff run, Murphy started hitting a lot better after leaving the Mets, right?

True, but as I said, Daniel credits Long with his turnaround from a good to a great hitter, both with the Mets and here.

Murphy wasn't just a hot hitter in late 2015. He began to hit for power as he worked with Long. Best I remember, Long was hitting instructor for the Yankees before going to the Mets.

lost 10 of last 12, something like that?  Hindenburg might be too light an analogy.  Thinking now more along the lines of the Halifax Explosion.

...grim...just plain grim...was really hitting the vodka/gin shooters yesterday.

Nationals Park management needs to check its inventory of music played in the park and make sure that all of the bands/groups involved have female bass players and/or have no men with lower-ranging voices playing whilst the Nats are at bat...because HITTING WITH MEN ON BASE (BASS) is quite simply beyond these lot.

[okay, that was not a normal suggestion - but these are not normal times]

My daily 'MLB Morning Lineup' just popped into my E-mail...you know it's dire when 'Nats hold meeting after dropping below .500' is considered one of the highlights of the previous day.
