   Go Bucks! Go Stammen! Go Nats!

Go Stammen! Go Nats! WE ARE PENN STATE!

[The Chief]

I feel sorry for Stammen.

[hammondsnats]

let's go stammen, i'll be there tonight rooting you on.

p.s. ohio state > penn state (sorry PA you're the man, but i'm not a big nitany lions fan - although joepa is cool)

[hammondsnats]

if we can't beat ian snell i say we just call up all the kids and let them play. 

[The Chief]

Don Sutton thinks Ian Snell has good butt muscles.

Big 10 sucks.

Did anyone who went to the game yesterday notice that the place was infected with Pittsburgh's trash and bunch of little kids who were annoying?

That's creepy. It's also creepy that you know that.

stan kasten invited them.

I remember him saying it during a broadcast last year and it stood out.  You don't hear guys saying "butt muscles" on air very often.  Then again those were the days before Dibble-isms, when on-air hilarity was the exception rather than the norm

[GburgNatsFan]

Despite the weak explanation, it's still creepy. You're a creepster.

I believe it's called "creeper."

[GburgNatsFan]

That's not what my kids say. Regional thing, maybe.

[The Chief]

I read all your profiles while you're sleeping.

[KnorrForYourMoney]

I'm going to transcribe War and Peace and put it in my profile.

[hammondsnats]

chief when are you making it out to a game?

Who knows.  The product on field hasn't exactly inspired me to spend 8 hours of my life and 30 to 50 dollars of my money thus far.

yeah i agree, but i'm already committed so i'm stuck with the sinking ship.  plus i live only 15-20 minutes from the park so it's an easy trek to go watch the other team beat up on ours.

[The Chief]

That's sort of how I felt when I lived in Baltimore, but driving north is a lot worse, and not just because of the added distance.  It doesn't help that the team killed any potential excitement from day 1 this year.  I might have gone up for a few games if Zimmerman's streak were still going but other than that, I can get a better view of the few remaining bright spots from my living room sofa.

true.  i found out the bar i'm going to in chicago on friday and saturday has the mlb extra innings package, but i don't know if i can bear to watch the nats lose to the blO's during my vacation.  especially since my cousins/uncles are all either nats or o's fans.  it could get ugly.

Will we tally up another loss to our bullpen tonight? Who knows.

I'll be at Bethany for the weekend with a bunch of my chums from college, which means I will be watching the Nats play Baltimore with a bunch of Orioles fans.  I don't know if I will be able to take getting swept at home with all my friends present, so here is hoping we can take at least two out of three and save me some face at the beach this weekend.

Nice.  I'm going to Fenwick the first week of June.  It's amazing to think we'll have 35 losses by then.
