Considering Hill just gave up 4 runs and the Nats have an error and only 2 hits, I'm guessing no.

Man i hate this retarded stadium

Hill is throwingngood stuff tonite. He's doing alot better than Livan or Armas jr. He goes right after the hitters and isn't scare to get hitted on. Against a patient team like Ortiz you need that kind of pitcher. Livan adn Armas jr seemed like they were always pitching in defense even on the first pitch.

Zimmerman hasn't got on base since that walk-off

Nationals 1
Red Sox 4
I figured we'g go 1-2 against the Yankees and Red Sox, but I also thought we'd go 3-1 against the Rockies, for a 5-5 total.
But we're 2-7. Need a win...
Any chance we could take THEIR Ortiz with us, and leave our Ortiz in Boston?

We should intentionally walk Manny

Jackson is on. Schnieder needs to hit this homerun here.

Hill's at 82 pitches after 4. 90 after 5.

Nationals 1
Red Sox 5

Same old split-personality Nats, different day.

Dave B · « **Reply #17:** June 21, 2006, 08:54:20 PM »

when announcers say "he put a good swing on that ball"

yeah well he didnt f-ing hit it. so who the f cares. so it was a crappy swing. youre not up there to exhibit good form

metssuck · « **Reply #18:** June 21, 2006, 09:07:43 PM »

We need Nick Johnson back, ASAP.

metssuck · « **Reply #19:** June 21, 2006, 09:09:48 PM »

HOw do they keep dropping balls in the outfield and we can't. DO we suck that much.

metssuck · « **Reply #20:** June 21, 2006, 09:14:08 PM »

Wild our pitching is nonexistent

Senators2005 · « **Reply #21:** June 21, 2006, 09:14:12 PM »

I knew this was going to happen.

Boston 9

Washington 1

The Nationals add to their MLB-leading Intentional Walks, so the Red Sox can have another run to drive in - which they DO. Our selected batter gets an RBI single and the Hill leaves as Lord William Michael Stanton delivers his service on the mount. Lester has TEN STRIKEOUTS for Boston. Please, please FORFEIT AND RESIGN, Frank. You are a disgrace!

Nationals 1
Red Sox 9

Oh goody, another Intentional Walk. They'll stop scoring at 11.
We have 3 hits, they have 15. We know they're good, but plleeease!

metssuck · « **Reply #23:** June 21, 2006, 09:18:05 PM »

How is this Frank's fault?

PC · « **Reply #24:** June 21, 2006, 09:27:38 PM »

This is just unbelievable!

But the sad part is, as bad as the Nationals pitching has been this series, I'm just as embarrassed by our "hitting". With a $120 million dollar payroll, a team can certainly buy a lot of bat. The problem is the Red Sox pitching isn't nearly as good as the Nationals have made them look this series. Our hitters have been befuddled, completely. Tim Wakefield, for example, was 4-8 going into last night's game, but you couldn't tell that from our hitting performance against him. Overall, our hitting in this series has been atrocious, barely major league.

I do believe, in addition, that our pitching has been completely intimidated by the Red Sox hitters. This entire series, they've been way to comfortable in the batter's box. What I wouldn't have given to see a few Red Sox batters, knocked on their asses!
