yes! it's time for the highly anticipated 4 game season series finale vs the hated Mutts!

i wonder if there will be any residue from the heated series @ Shea last week...i could see Pedro igniting something. the Nats, mainly Dukes, will do their talking with the bats!

LETS GO NATS!!!

Pedro the Headhunter is in town. Great. I would gladly lose every game for the rest of the season for the #1 Draft pick if we could at least knock the crap out of Pedro and win this one game.

Lineups posted. Interesting that Hernandez is getting the start against a RHP. So much for the platoon. They really don't have a lot of faith in Bonifacio for whatever reason. I wonder if they still consider him our Opening Day 2B-man...

Air Zimmerman · « **Reply #4:** September 15, 2008, 07:10:19 PM »

LETS GO NATS! hopefully Lannan can have a solid start, he seems to be tiring.

4 game sweep of the hated Mutts starts now!

Oh, goody. Diaz with strike zone du pitch behind the plate.

I would really love a repeat of last year. Though hopefully no Mets fans' mothers are murdered this time

The Chief · « **Reply #7:** September 15, 2008, 07:29:36 PM »

Guzman is really earning that extension

Zimmerman...

At least it was no outs.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #8:** September 15, 2008, 07:40:18 PM »

Nice grab by Willie.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #9:** September 15, 2008, 07:41:28 PM »

Very generous call there.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #10:** September 15, 2008, 07:50:18 PM »

Schneider owns us

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #11:** September 15, 2008, 07:52:12 PM »

And Manny just gives away a run. Stupid freak. With the infield in Schneider doesn't score there.

Even on that play, Guzman would have had Schneider easily.

Nice double by Milledge.

beast blows

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #15:** September 15, 2008, 08:17:39 PM »

horrible AB by Dukes with an assist to the poor ump.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #16:** September 15, 2008, 08:18:50 PM »

Boone knocks him in!

No way in hell Boone was out at 2nd.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #17:** September 15, 2008, 08:29:03 PM »

Nice DP!! Schneider is slow as hell.

hammondsnats · « **Reply #18:** September 15, 2008, 08:31:22 PM »

I swear to god if the Nats lose this game and waste another solid outing by a young starting pitcher i'm gonna blow my brains out.

That is such a crappy, crappy nickname. I'm sorry; you can use it as a phrase, but as a nickname it is just unbelievably bad.

Does that mean no more "John Lannan Is A Better Man Than I'll Ever Be" posts? Go Mets!

haha all i'm saying is yesterday balester pitched well and didn't get a win, hopefully that doesn't happen to lannan today.

and houston, you're entitled to your opinion. i've been using it for over a year now.

No. I think it's a fine phrase (and for many of this year's waste-o Nats, it is true). But as a nickname? Like something you actually call the player? Gosh. There's a reason that nicknames tend to be short, easy to say, and witty. For example, "Garlic Bread" is a good nickname. But "Like Garlic Bread, Person X Is Kind of Squishy and Only a Prelude to Better Things" is not.

I know, and I like it, except when used strictly as a nickname...
