Nationals @ Cubs, Game 2

[mitlen]

These Mason commercials are taking on the aura of the carpet ones (Luna).   

[KnorrForYourMoney]

Kerry wood has an ERA of 27.00 - that's like Antonio Osuna territory

Joe freakin Horgan

H-Rod's change up is about 15 mph faster than Livo's fastball. 

I miss Livo.

Livan Hernandez made the 2nd relief appearance of his career today; long relief for the Braves.  His previous relief appearance was his first MLB pitch.

Akra has a really cute voice too. It's very pleasing to the ears.

[Born-AgainNatsFan]

Does that mean that we don't have to be concerned with Werths average of 3 K a game?

Well, that we're winning despite him is a promising sign......He can be the Guzman of these nats

[MarquisDeSade]

Did Werthless really have three strikeouts?

I love that pistolero action and he's freakin' bold about too.

It's awsome.  He has more guts than me.  I've been insulted too many times in visiting parks to bother with something like that.

It'd be really nice if LaRoche has a 2010 year.

[Smithian]

I think it needs to be on the scoreboard w the sub horn

[Smithian]

Oh my God

[I can Throw]

wasn't pretty, but i'll take it. chad tracy has more pinch-hits in two games than fat chairs had all last freaking season.

I thought that as well.  Falldown Stairs didn't get his 2nd hit till ... never.
