Nationals @ Cardinals, Game 2

[mitlen]

Rizzo makes me sick keeping low lifes like Villone, Bergmann, and Sosa on the roster.

I just don't know what his thinking is.

At this point, I think he's between a rock and a hard place.

[madj55]

c'mon Dukes

[mitlen]

Appears to be a questionable call on Dukes.

[madj55]

can't go down looking there

[PC]

Sadly, we're actually outhitting them.   

[mitlen]

can't go down looking there

Like Knight said ... "Gotta swing."

[PC]

Jason Bergmann -  "Suck on that, nages!"

I knew your dumb ass would come along and say some asinine crap like this.

[spidernat]

yeah the bullpen isn't a problem.

these bums like Villone and Sosa are the answer

Way to misrepresent other people's positions.

[Obed_Marsh]

Ah the nostalgia.

Last evening, I was thinking the same thing.   Wonder what the reasons were.   I've just started my Gameday activities.  I'm not a technical kind of person.   I'd prefer to BS over a beer.   Did folks have something else to do ?   OR  .... has the fan base disapated and lost interest in this team ?    I'm beginning to think it's part 2 of the above.    This off season (rest of this season) and next spring are vital to this franchise.   I'm beginning to fear the Nats are about to lose even part of their basic fan base.   Once you start chipping at the foundation, things can really get bad.   Too negative ?    I hope not.

Two words: Saturday night.

That it's late in a lost season is a contributing factor, but things have been slow before.

No, we haven't lost interest in the team no matter how many of the silly-nillies rant and nag. Personally, last night I had some other issues to attend to. Fearing the Nats are even losing their base is paranoia, especially if you are gaging such a thing on the amount of pages on a message board.

EDIT: Now, if the Chief wants to throw a little bank my way so I am here every night, I am up for negotiation.

I went and saw Inglorious Basterds last night

I have been watching the games, just not hanging out in gameday threads lately.

That was the first thing I thought too.   Then I wondered, "Why am I here?"       <------   I'm afraid this could be the answer (LOL).   This has been a frustrating season.   I think it's because we had expectations.   Reminds me of the adage ... "If you don't have expectations, you'll never be disappointed."     Today's a new day.   "Let's play two !!"

My son went to see that.   I was telling my wife I didn't like the accents in the film by the actors ...  She started explaining Tarantino films and how the accents .... Lord, help me.   Made my hair hurt.   GO NATS  !!!

...    Fearing the Nats are even losing their base is paranoia, especially if you are gaging such a thing on the amount of pages on a message board  ..... 

I don't think anyone is gaging (sic).   I think they call it wondering.
