Hah, that ain't nothing.  We got Wells, Biemel and McDougal.  Not to mention Harahan.

[ronnynat]

We could have this guy on our team pretty soon.

[spidernat]

WE have to take advantage of that leadoff walk.

[sportsfan882]

nice walk, AlGo.

please be patient, Cristian.

[The Chief]

absolutely terrible. he had no angle on that play. That was Willie's ball.

ball wasn't that deep. shouldn't have been an automatic run.

Calm down, there was no play on it either way.  That said, I don't know why Dunn didn't let Harris have it as Harris was clearly calling for it.

AlGo >>>>>>> Guzman

Right, there was no play at home.  The only play was made, a throw to third to prevent the other runners advancing.

[sportsfan882]

largest crowd in Nats Park history?

[ronnynat]

largest crowd in Nats Park history?

OD last year was a sellout, wasn't it?

[Section214]

incredible...

[ronnynat]

Well, that sucked.

[The Chief]

god we are tragically awful

[tomterp]

damn.  We just have no luck.  Guzman ripped that ball, but right at lowell.

[sportsfan882]

OD last year was a sellout, wasn't it?

no, only 39,389.

the home opener this year had 40K and change

[sportsfan882]

what a freaking dagger

this team is cursed

[tomterp]

no, only 39,389.

Why do you say that's not a sellout?

[sportsfan882]

Why do you say that's not a sellout?

it's under capacity anyways.

I think this game is the largest ever in NP history

[sportsfan882]

I hate this torture bullcrap. I'd rather lose 10-0 to the Sox over this garbage.

I know right! Why can't they ever just win or lose decisively??

That's paid ticket sales, not counting comps.  Opening day last year, they gave away a slew of comps.  Those tickets could have been sold if they had put them for sale, but they weren't available.

[spidernat]

OD last year was a sellout, wasn't it?

Yeah but for this series they're selling standing room only tickets and it appears to be atop the parking garage.

[sportsfan882]

why is Villone still in the game?

Does Manny never learn his lesson? jesus christ.

He's a freaking LH specialist who should never face more than 1 or two batters.

[spidernat]

I know right! Why can't they ever just win or lose decisively??

When the last out is recorded the outcome is decisive.
