When will the Nyjer Morgan era end? The guy is a detriment to the team like Guzman.

without nyjer this is an awesome lineup.

without nyjer this is an awesome lineup.

eh, with or without him it could be a lot better.  but i agree with most on here now, he's really not getting the job done.

[Lintyfresh85]

Go Nats!

[Lintyfresh85]

Not a huge fan of the blue uniforms... though I do believe the team is 1-0 while wearing them.

[Lintyfresh85]

Time to avoid Twitter for a while.

[ronnynat]

Good pitching.

#Nats 1B Adam Dunn makes an error off the bat of Logan Morrison in the first inning. It was a routine ground ball.

Marquis looking solid.  Amazing what health does for a legit major league pitcher.

Gonna be tough to watch this while also keeping up on the Duke-WF, GT-KU and UGA-USC football games (which have all been very entertaining so far).

Yeah, today's a pretty packed sports day for me. City-Blackburn this morning, Nats game, ND game, and the Klitschko fight tonight.

[Lintyfresh85]

0-11 for Espinosa.

DOWN TO THE MINORS YOU GO.

@Lintyfresh85 I don't care what the stats say.

Are we sure he's not Sportsfan?

[ronnynat]

OT: crap, the Klitschko fight is in Germany. I guess that means it starts in the next couple of hours.

[PC]

Is the offense dead or just hibernating, 4 runs in 28 innings?

Is that Bumbledore Longfellow's twit account?

Just a week ago, they scored 70 something in like 5 games. It's a long season, teams go into peaks and valleys all the time.

Yes.

So what's so different now than then?  How many runs a team scores from game to game really is an independent proposition.  There's no reason you have to have valleys this deep even if you also have really high peaks.

[Lintyfresh85]

What's the difference?

Probably luck.

You and your damn logic and reason pissing in the cheerios of the children who just look for every excuse to whine.

EDIT:  During commericials, switch over to the Duke/WF game if it's on in your area.  This thing has the potential to be an Arena Football type of score (35-21 in the 2nd Q).

[Vladman1327]

Man, I hate Bob.

"Jason [Marquis] looked to first base, but there is nothing Wally Bell can do because Laz Diaz emphatically said 'Ball!'"  Is that why Bell gave the "safe" signal literally seconds before you said that?

Or, even, better:  "It's interesting, even though he's right-handed and maybe has more power, Camberon Maybin is almost the Nationals' version of Nyjer Morgan..."  Erm, wouldn't that make him nothing like Morgan?

[PC]

What's the difference?

Probably luck.

I blame Nyjer Morgan!

[ronnynat]

Gotta get our team OBP up to at least .337 next year.

[ronnynat]

Marquis is kicking ass.

[Lintyfresh85]

Gotta get our team OBP up to at least .337 next year.

That's what it was in 2009.

It's .322 this year.

I blame Eckstein and his change in approach.
