If you're going tonight and use the Orange or Red lines or the part of the Green line north of Mount Vernon Square, you may want to budget a bit more time getting out to the ballpark - track work going on: http://www.wmata.com/about/MET_NEWS/PressReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=2262.

Awesome. Glad to see Bernadina getting another start. He is a beast when he gets regular ABs everyday.

[ronnynat]

That's one of the speediest lineups you will see.

[sportsfan882]

The Padres have the worst record in baseball against LH starting pitchers: 17-37.

I don't predict wins very often for this team but I think we should pull one out tonight.

[sportsfan882]

The Mariners blew a 7-4 lead today in Oakland and eventually fell 8-7 for their 10th loss in a row.

What was ours, 11? If they get more than that, hopefully ESPN will use them as there toilet paper to crap on.

Guz is a beast. 178th hit

Elijah "A Walk Is As Good As a Hit" Dukes walks, in front of Air Zimmerman, (behind the Nationals dugout.)
   

And is left on base.

This team can't hit with RISP lately.

Friday: 15 Runners LOB
Thursday: 11 Runners LOB
Wednesday: 11 Ruuners LOB
Tuesday: 8 Runners LOB

Hopefully we get a new hitting coach and we can fix these mistakes. Plus a big bat

Have you spotted AZ yet? I remember him saying before that he looked like Jacoby Ellsbury.

Which is why I grabbed John Lannan for a spot start in the WNFF World Series against thom202's LOXOSCELIDAES.

[sportsfan882]

This ump is a disgrace.

If Elijah Dukes homers, AZ will be the guy running out onto the field, throwing himself at his feet like this:
 

He is wearing a navy-colored Zimmerman jersey, behind the Nationals dugout Section 130 L, Row X, Seats 9/10.

Beat me to it you sneaky bastard.

[sportsfan882]

Lannan draws a 4-pitch walk. 

[nats2playoffs]

Beat me to it you sneaky bastard.

We're about to be tied again in the WNFF World Series 5-5-0.  Every starting pitcher you picked up when you dumped your relievers was someone I wanted to pickup next week!  Today's Yankee starter was listed as a reliever; I think he's a rookie.

[sportsfan882]

Dukes with another walk. He's got unreal patience at the plate. Almost scary. 

Deja vu. We have no problem getting runners on base but we can't get ever get a big hit.

[sportsfan882]

Boone chases ball 2 as the Nats strand the bases loaded. So unclutch. Looks like they are trying to beat their LOB total of 15 from last night.

[sportsfan882]

Lannan is rolling. Wake up offense.

[nats2playoffs]

Vinnie's Mullet must have gotten Don Sutton to make that call out to former National 3B, Vinnie Castilla.



Mariner's are throwing it!!!!!!
