Are you going to start with the bunts again from the power hitters?

would have been better than that AB. awful strike out.

We can't afford to strand any runners tonight.

The Bunt is a terrible strategy 99% of the time that it doesn't involve a pitcher.

You aren't going to beat the Rays stranding runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

feels like we are down 3 runs even though we are up 2.

Willie Harris, I'm glad he won't be with us next year.

Nats letting the Rays run at will on them.

Bard throws about as fast as he runs.

game over.

Manny Acta and Josh Bard FTL. Why he is still on this team and getting starts is just amazing to me.

Dibs, it's called fieldturf and I believe it came from Olympic Stadium after the Expos moved south.

That's it. Walking the #9 hitter is game.

We're losing this game and we're still leading!

We can't leave runners on-base, especially in interleague play, and expect to win. Three runs won't usually beat a NL team and we have no chance against an AL team.

People forget what it's like to root for a regular team. The Nats are coming off a win and staying competitive (winning even) against the Rays. This is a good thing.

5 straight innings without scoring any more runs. it will inevitably cost them.

way too many blown opportunities.

That's what's going to make this loss so crushing!
