Debbi Taylor never ceases to amaze. Just when I think she could not be any worse she proves me wrong.

Explain.

Just the way she conducts her interviews. She asks awful questions to begin with (most not even baseball related) and her delivery, on her better days, is poor. It's like watching a 7th grader interviewing the hall monitor.

can we please salvage one win in that dump of a dome? if we get swept after sweeping the mariners, it'd be demoralizing.

o, and if we win today without lo duca in the lineup it will prove he is a cancer on the team and we need to remove him.

Saw Perkins pitch a few weeks back against the O's and I must say if the Nationals don't win this game they are the worst team in baseball. This kid is horrible.

sigh Pena's in the lineup.

Maybe the game will be rained out.

Not the guy you want to walk

JMUalumni · « **Reply #10:** June 19, 2008, 01:20:33 PM »

Alright looked like he was safe cause Felipe missed the tag, but Ill take it. But then we walk another guy..... ugh

Lopez tagged him on the leg. The call could've gone either way.

i can't believe glenn perkins has a no-hitter through 2 innings. the nationals are the worst team in baseball.

Nats bending over for the Twins.

It looks like they just want to get on the plane and get back home.

I would too if I had to sit in an uncomfortable, enclosed stadium ripe with the farts of a few thousand Minnesota fans.

Twins have three walks already! If they get one more, they will have as many as we do ALL series.

Someone say it....

hill is certainly not the pitcher he once was. his leadoff walk just scored

spidernat · « **Reply #19:** June 19, 2008, 01:35:18 PM »

WTF was Dukes doing there!

spidernat · « **Reply #20:** June 19, 2008, 01:36:48 PM »

Gave up a run there by choosing to have the infield in this early in the game. But when you can't score you have to do inordinate things.

I dont know where to find it, but I wonder how often, when walked, the leadoff runner scores. At least for this team its got to be somewhere around 2 out of every 3.

The funny thing is, he was never really anything to begin with since he can't stay off the DL and not pitch hurt. The Nats need to just buck up and Patterson his ass.

I've heard the stat that 45% of the time a team has a lead off walk or single, that run will score.

why the hell he didnt walk that hitter and set up for a poss dp - why is manny asleep - he's like frank robinson
