[aussienatsfan]

Lol, you can't resist.

his first 2 starts were day games and i wasn't here for them so i am making up for lost time

This will be what our 12th shutout of the season?  It's actually been a while.

I doubt we'll get the shutout.  Wang hasn't gone as many as 5 innings yet, has he?

Where is Nix tonight?

Resting  ....   achillles?

Worst offensive performance of the year

[PC]

The Royals-Rays game was 1:53 tonight.

The Yankees-Red Sox was, literally, more than twice as long.

[RobDibblesGhost]

NO MORE STRIKEOUTS!!!

I don't care if you don't score a run tonight but NO MORE STRIKEOUTS!

This will be what our 12th shutout of the season?  It's actually been a while.

I don't think that's what he meant. 

[tomterp]

Where is Nix tonight?

Said to be almost ready, but Johnson wants to see him doing all pregame warmups and drills normally before clearing him to start.  I presume he's available off the bench.

[tomterp]

I don't think that's what he meant. 

Well aware, but he he wants to troll, I can pretend not to get it.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Where is Nix tonight?

Still not feeling well apparently.  Heard Davey doesn't want him to play until he's 100% and able to take BP, do drills, etc.

do you say this in every single game?

[Mathguy]

Nix is also getting over the flu

Resting  ....   achillles?

[PC]

You think we're going to score tonight?  How?  Homer?  By whom?  Stringing hits together?  Again, by whom?

[spidernat]

do you say this in every single game?

He's used to hearing someone tell him the same thing.

I think that Carpenter needs to brush up on his history of electricity

Name the last 4 different Nationals pitchers to throw complete game shutouts?

Zimmerman is finally looking 'right' in the field.

[RobDibblesGhost]

I think that Carpenter needs to brush up on his history of electricity 

Maybe thats why he's taking the weekend off.

Nice play Desmond!!!!

[spidernat]

nice defense! 

[mitlen]

Damn Desmond  !!

[Mathguy]

Oh shut up FP !  Wrigley Field is a dump with the design of a structure built with 19th century knowledge.

Livan is one.

Hell of a play Ian!

I'm pretty convinced that SF has an automatic early game downerpost generator, that spits out random pessimistic stuff from his archive.
