Of course, "Het" is the French pronunciation of "Hey!"

2 innings for Mike with 25 pitches.
He doesn't give back the lead immediately.
A play that looked very solid from Vidro.

Please continue guys, by adding some runs!

need to move runners over you get a first pitch pop-up from zimmerman....need a groundout from church and you get a comebacker to the pitcher....need an rbi single and you get a deep flyout from vidro

i think that offensively, it has been the biggest problem for the Nats over the past 2 yrs: we dont use our outs effectively. Zimm should have at least moved the runners to 2nd and 3rd (then Lopez would have scored on the double) Church had a runner on 3rd with 1 out and should have hoit the ball to the right side or a sac fly. 2 opportunities to do something useful with your outs - but failed.

Minty Fresh · « **Reply #59:** September 06, 2006, 01:36:15 PM »

WAY TO GO NOOK!!!!

For what it's worth, we're making Carpenter work for it!

very good at bat by nook. nice slide by fick. bang zoom let's blow up the cardinals.

spidernat · « **Reply #61:** September 06, 2006, 01:36:20 PM »

from the replay it appeared that the ball slipped out before his hand got to it for the exchange

spidernat · « **Reply #62:** September 06, 2006, 01:36:56 PM »

maybe we got a break but we still need to take advantage of it

expos96 · « **Reply #63:** September 06, 2006, 01:37:14 PM »

Hmm that's a fortunate umpy call in our favor!

Thanks for the line ups!

spidernat · « **Reply #64:** September 06, 2006, 01:37:56 PM »

that was pathetic

Minty Fresh · « **Reply #65:** September 06, 2006, 01:38:18 PM »

Please tell me he bunts O'Connor here.....

Don't be a bonehead Frank!

spidernat · « **Reply #66:** September 06, 2006, 01:38:28 PM »

it looked like a bunt and run

expos96 · « **Reply #67:** September 06, 2006, 01:39:00 PM »

Hmm almost Robert.
Come on Mike bunt the ball.

spidernat · « **Reply #68:** September 06, 2006, 01:39:13 PM »

why is it that when we get a break thngs quickly get evened out but it doesn't work the other way around?

Minty Fresh · « **Reply #69:** September 06, 2006, 01:39:22 PM »

STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!

expos96 · « **Reply #70:** September 06, 2006, 01:40:14 PM »

Probably Tony Armas can do better ...
That's very bad at bat Mike.

Minty Fresh · « **Reply #71:** September 06, 2006, 01:40:27 PM »

Unbelievable. We have a knack for siezing defeat from the clutching jaws of victory.

Minty Fresh · « **Reply #72:** September 06, 2006, 01:41:15 PM »

Come on Alfonso, bail us out!
