Nationals @ Cubs, Game 1

[JMUalumni]

yeah, but as linty said ... he's a lefty ... we might be looking for a righty bat.

Well not if that player was replacing Taveras, they would be looking for speedster/defensive OF as per JCA's comment.

[spidernat]

keep Desmond in the 2-hole.  He is kicking ass there.

  That's always funny.

[hammondsnats]

riggleman ... here's your line-up:

CF Morgan
SS Desmond
3B Zimmerman
1B Dunn
LF Willingham
C Rodriguez
2B Kennedy
RF Harris/Maxwell

willie harris?

[Lintyfresh85]

Back on, for now.

[JMUalumni]

willie harris?

?

[hammondsnats]

hahahahahahaha theriot you piece of crap

[sportsfan882]

Go back to the dugout you freaking douchebag

[spidernat]

boooooooooooo. He's hitting .300? Who gives a freak!!

Wait, weren't you the one arguing in favor of the average stat (and even used Dunn's low average to prove how worthless he is)?

[Lintyfresh85]

Go back to the dugout you freaking douchebag

Classy.

[The Chief]

Ha, that seems like something that would happen to US.

Goss:

Lannan has thrown 53 pitches in the first three innings, walking in a run in the second inning. He's walked four and given up four hits, missing on the left side of the plate repeatedly. It's been a rare bout with control issues for the left-hander, who's been sharp with his fastball his last couple starts. The one saving grace for Lannan has been two double plays, including one in the fourth that saved a run.

willie harris isn't going on the DL so they still have him off the bench.  who knows.  i'm okay with maxwell/harris platooning with bernadina as the back-up i guess. 

mench has started off nicely too.

[JMUalumni]

ROFL, I wonder if Carp just jinxed the video feed?

"Welcome back video lovers, we are glad to have it back as well"

Yeah, but you said send Taveras down.  My point is, that they would be looking for defense/speed first with the replacement and a righty bat second.

[sportsfan882]

Great throw by ID and pick by Adam Dunn

[Lintyfresh85]

Dunn with a great scoop!

All around great play!

[The Chief]

Alright.  This is good.  Lannan could still have a serviceable outing.

[Lintyfresh85]

I can't believe how improved our defense is!

[houston-nat]

6 pitch inning for Lannan

[hammondsnats]

Go back to the dugout you freaking douchebag

i hate theroit ... and his fans ... there were these little kids who had theriot jerseys who were so friggin annoying at a game i went to a couple years back.  their father was just as bad.  thank god the nats won that game.

[hammondsnats]

Yeah, but you said send Taveras down.  My point is, that they would be looking for defense/speed first with the replacement and a righty bat second.

Yeah, and I'm saying we have Harris who can do that role, if Maxwell starts and vice versa.  I don't know, we'll see what happens.

[sportsfan882]

He's killing us in the #3 spot. I would bat his ass #8 if Riggs insists on playing him.

[hammondsnats]

6 pitch inning for Lannan

yeah his pitches were sinking in that inning.

[hammondsnats]

our infield defense with our regulars (Dunn - Kennedy - Desmond - Zimmerman) are playing some solid D.
