You mean the Main Event don't you?

[Spinman]

Good break there. Lets start to chip away at that lead.

[Lintyfresh85]

You hate the races.    But I don't blame you because they have become superfluous. I think the reason Roosevelt never wins is because the Lerners have fixed the races and are taking bets on the races and making a killing on the "results".

Hey mitlen how did you become a Nats fan? I'm wondering why you aren't a Pirates fan since you seem to be from Western PA (or are you not from there and happen to be a bandwagon Steelers fan?).

I'm from W. PA.   I was a Pirates fan my whole life (Kiner, Clemente, Dale Long, Maz, Hoak, Law, Haddix, "Pops", Al Oliver, "Mad Dog", Tekelve, Manny, etc.) ... and then kind of lost the flame in '92.   I stayed up late in 1992 and watched the Braves beat my Bucs.   They haven't had a winning season since.  I dislike Bonds not for the steroids but because he bailed ... Bonilla too.     I still follow the Bucs (catch 'em whenever they're in town) but when the Nats came on the scene ... well I was in love again.   First game I ever went to was the Bucs in town in May or June (I think) of '05.   I have pictures.   My son and I went and sat in the yellow seats in right field.   I wore my Pirates hat.    Told the Bucs I still love 'em but I found a new love.   The Nats ... it's been bliss ever since .    I ain't no bandwagoneer or I wouldn't be a Nats' fan (LOL).

PS  I still have my 5 X7 glossies of the '60 Pirates (Burgess, Law, Friend, Stuart, Maz, Groat, Hoak, Skinner, Virdon, Clemente).

I never did get an answer from the Nationals on my replacement of the Presidents race idea.  My suggestion was a figure eight track in CF with dogs racing with monkeys on their backs 10 laps.

[Spinman]

Lets not forget they are changing Detwiler's pitching motion so it doesn't effect his hip as much.

[Spinman]

Espy with an ESPY!

Did they change his brain to throw meatballs over the plate? That sounds mean. Ah, well.

[hammondsnats]

i'm sure detilwer isn't going to like that taste all offseason long.

After the race Bob said: "And so a season of futility comes to an end"

Man did I want Dibble in the booth to respond to that low hanging curve.

Its tough to make in season changes. Some guys can do it... so can't. Detwiler will be fine. I hope they do give him 1 inning of relief work in NY. I would hate to have him try and sleep this one off all off season.

[spidernat]

   Told the Bucs I still love 'em but I found a new love.   The Nats ...

A philanderer that left a hideous girl for an equally ugly one. Or maybe you're like Julian Tavarez and after last call it doesn't matter anymore.   

Are you a penguins fan?

We can see why you didn't get the PR job for the Nats!

The problem is, he was supposed to be majors ready throwing 93. I guess I should realize how much it sucks for him, too. I'm pretty frazzled right now.

[Spinman]

If Batista is 97 MPH then  if Bally gets in he will be Chapmanisque at 105!

Do you really want to pick up monkey poop mixed with dog poop?

That's a whole 'nother story.   I'm a Caps fan.   The Pens didn't show up until '67.   I was out of HS, etc. by then.   However, the first pro hockey game I ever saw was just after I got out of the Army.   Last game of the year ('71/'72) and the Pens were playing the Blues.   They had to win to make the playoffs ... SRO ... original "igloo" before the expansion.   Then I met the Caps in '74.     So, ya see it was another  ugly for ugly thing (LOL).    Rest assurred however that I don't like Crosby (LOL).
