Ian Desmond grand slam in the first and CGSHO by Fister.

No problem.

56.6% chance of winning????  Or is that the chance of getting no-hit by Cueto tonight?

Apply liberally to the anus area, to ensure it is properly prepared.

You always start out like this, then end up sounding like SF...

Zuck joins the LoD:

Quote
The Nationals’ lineup — in its current, injury-plagued form — is not particularly effective against right-handed pitching. Their .236 team batting average against righties ranks 23rd in the majors this season. (As opposed to their .284 batting average against left-handers, third-best in baseball.) So tonight’s matchup against Johnny Cueto does not particularly favor the Nats.

This means we win.

Possible. I'm not spending a lot of time in GDTs anymore. My wife likes baseball so we watch it together.

1 run should do it. Todd Frazier is better than any player we have.

This is bat crap crazy to see happen so often.  A throw from 2nd to 1st shouldn't be that hard.

Fister is going to need to slow down just to let everyone calm down.
