Nationals vs Astros, Game 3

[Nathan]

Something is going on with him, his facial expressions are really weird.

Gas?

[MarquisDeSade]

Uh, why is Marquis batting?

[PC]

Jim Riggleman is an idiot.

[Sharp]

Jim Riggleman is an idiot.

While I generally agree with this statement, in this particular case he obviously knows more than we do about the specifics of the situation, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

[PC]

Charge the mound!

Does Jason Marquis look well to you?  What could he possibly know?  Asking a player if he's hurt means nothing.  He can't know he's ok and, from watching him on the mound, he has to assume that he's not.

If Marquis is a big enough idiot to risk being seriously injured again this season, that's his problem.  He isn't Strasburg, Riggleman isn't required to protect him from himself.

I wouldn't want to be Jason Castro.

I have a feeling Dunn would have no problem trucking a catcher right about now.

Marquis  80 pitches
Wandypoo  94 pitches

[PANatsFan]

Jeez he is Jekyll and Hyde out there.

Marquis, quality start, 1.50 ERA on the night.

[Sharp]

Quoting the ERA from a single night is possibly the most ridiculous and potentially misleading thing ever... just list runs and innings pitched.

Okkkkkkkk.

Linty, with nearly 12,000 posts being thrown under the bus by a 241 post Sharpie! This could get interesting!

[PC]

So, they can mention Don Sutton but not Rob Dibble? 

What are the chances Rob Dibble will be the answer to a trivia question???

[Sharp]

Okkkkkkkk.

It's just a personal pet peeve of mine.  Talking about runs per nine innings with less than nine innings pitched is pointless, and if a pitcher does go all nine "nightly ERA" = ER.

Who has Ichiro tattooed on his butt?

Name the only Strasburg dissing and woman hating ex-Nationals announcer to have a fight with Lou Piniella?

[shoeshineboy]

cool, Slaten entering to when the levee breaks.

You suck Slaten!

[Lintyfresh85]

Pitch F/X does not agree with the umpires strike zone.
