Nice, solid win in front of a great crowd. I am actually a little excited to be going to the game tomorrow now.

I should be going to my first one on Sunday.

Are you gonna stay after and watch "Rookie of the Year"? I would.

Me too, not very often we have got to say that this season.

I'm with you. All of our young guys had the RBIs (Flores,Mills,Dukes,Casto). Perez had a positive outing. The pen other than Shell was great. Let's hope we can win tomorrow with Lannan on the mound and continue to build the momentum.

And Perez for upping his trade value a little.

Nah. I have to milk all the sleep I can get during the weekend because I only get 4-4.5 hrs of sleep a night during the week because of my summer job.

[Natskins]

Great win. I LOVE beating the O's!! Now we just need to give Lannan some run support.

Sabathia whooped ass again tonight: 8 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 11 K (Game's still on. He might pitch the 9th)

What the hell was wrong w/ him earlier this season?

Well technically Shell had 1 ER in 2 innings, and an ERA of 1.80, so alls good!

He is amazing. I know there is a 0% chance of it happening but man it would be absolutely incredible if we got him to anchor our staff for the next 5-6+ years.

Rick Dempsey on the O's post-game show is blaming the Nationals' outfield grass being bumpy for their outfielders booting all those balls. 

I hate that dude. Tom Davis too. Both guys are idiots.

[Air Zimmerman]

i don't know why, but i'm sensing a sweep of the orioles!

1 DOWN, 2 TO GO!

RAUCH DEFLATES THE RALLY AND SILENCES THE ORIOLES FANS!!!

[ronnynat]

Surprisingly, it looked like there were more Nats fans than O's. That might be a first.

[eagleskins]

The pitcher we need to go after is Rich Harden.  When healthy, he is the best pitcher in the game.  You know the A's won't pay him.

Tom Davis is an insufferable homer.  What a freaking dolt.  He implied that Stan Kasten was racist for saying that he values Caribbean prospects.

He gets my vote for Dumbfreak of the Month.

I'm actually really excited to go Sunday. Bergmann's last start was great and Gunthrie is hittable.
