Please God, let this go smoothly. We will be the complete laughingstock of all Sports if something goes wrong in this game.

Strasburg's arm is going to fall off on the first pitch.  I just know it.

[The Chief]

Stupid Mike Stanton trying to steal some of our thunder.

It should last Nathan, I used to do the same thing at work. Just hit the button to turn off the screen, sit back and enjoy. The sound quality is actually pretty decent.

It is freaking insane here.

I can't wait to watch this game, wish mlb.tv would let me catch the MASN pregame.

It's good to have Pudge back.

Off topic kind of ... watching SS in the bull pen.   Does he have a particularly small glove?

The zimm interview was on mlb tv, they asked him about this not being his team anymore, he said he had his 15 minutes. Thought he might be in the lineup as well tonight.

Got it, thanks!

MLB-TV requires a subscription.  My guess ESPN and MLB.com may have clips.

My guess would be to try channelsurfing.net but it will probably be taken down shortly after the game starts because MLB is like big brother with streaming online content.

I'm so glad I became a Nationals fan last year-what a great night for this franchise (and for those of you who have been suffering alot longer than me)  Here's to a complete game shut out-I could go no hitter, but I don't want to be greedy

[amanuel]

THANK U natinthehat and everyone else
