Nationals @ Yankees, Game 2

[pazzo83]

Drew is filthy.

It's amazing Storen only has one blown save compared to 19 saves to this point.

Of course he still has the playoffs to atone for, but.

[pazzo83]

I'm pretty shocked we won that game.  I believe 4 of our 5 runs were scored with 2 outs?

Some sins are unatonable.

[pazzo83]

Actually all of our runs were scored with 2 outs.

Drew Storen: best closer in baseball.

And Magic Mike Taylor is one clutch SOB. Every homer he's hit this year has either tied or given us the lead.

If someone starts a game day thread for a matinee game, how about posting the time of the game? I thought the game was at night.


Whoever starts the GDT should always post the lineups, at a minimum. We've posted 3 different places on where to get lineups in the Sticky "How to Make a Game Day thread" in the GDT section.

Some sins are unatonable.

Me too   ...   I was tellin' an old co-worker.    If my team isn't in the game, I always pull for a Rust Belt team.    Hockey in Florida is an abomination.

That team had almost no adversity for the entire season.  I think that ended up being a bad thing for them in the playoffs.
