_______________________________________ ______________

Hill had another quality outing for Washington on Sunday, going seven innings and
giving up two runs on seven hits against the Mets. In fact, Hill was given a 2-1 lead
when newly acquired Wily Mo Pena hit a home run in the bottom of the fourth inning.
However, the Mets tied it up at 2 when Carlos Beltran hit a home run in the sixth inning.

Francis bounced back Sunday in Los Angeles from his worst start of the season. Francis
went six innings and gave up two runs after lasting just 3 1/3 innings and giving up eight
runs Aug. 14 in San Diego. He struggled with control in San Diego, walking six batters,
but seemed to regain his control against the Dodgers.

Yep, should be very exciting; then again, a pitchers duel at Coors Field? Unlikely.

Since tonight's game is on My20, I look forward to you all later on this thread.

...just five more wins to win #63 - mathematically eliminating the 100-loss season all the so-called 'experts' predicted for the Nats...

We had one at Cit this year with Hill on the mound.

That guy has a pretty intimidating W-L record considering his rather mediocre ERA...

It's their pretty intimidating offense that helps their mediocre pitchers...A LOT.

Nice theft.

metssuck · « **Reply #12:** August 24, 2007, 09:12:43 PM »

Jiminez with that stolen base!!!

saltydad · « **Reply #13:** August 24, 2007, 09:12:48 PM »

I'm pissed. Dish or MASN still blacked out the pregame show on MASN2.

Jimenez looked good on that steal.

metssuck · « **Reply #14:** August 24, 2007, 09:13:44 PM »

Like how we're making the pitcher increase his pc tonite, based on this first inning.

spidernat · « **Reply #19:** August 24, 2007, 09:15:07 PM »

These at bats remind me of some of the at bats other teams have against our pitchers.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #20:** August 24, 2007, 09:15:33 PM »

good hit Zim.. let's go Dmitri

saltydad · « **Reply #21:** August 24, 2007, 09:15:39 PM »

Zimm does it

metssuck · « **Reply #22:** August 24, 2007, 09:15:45 PM »

smart baserunning Jiminez. I bet tolman sent him

spidernat · « **Reply #23:** August 24, 2007, 09:15:57 PM »

WTH...he should've scored on that hit. That should've been an RBI for Zimmerman.

saltydad · « **Reply #24:** August 24, 2007, 09:16:20 PM »

D-man!!
